7th Path Self-Hypnosis® Teachers Course - Ultimate Recognitions

April 2008
Held in Tustin 
Instructed by Calvin D. Banyan, MA
National Guild of Hypnotists, Board Certified Hypnotherapist (BCH) and Certified Instructor (CI) and
Banyan Hypnosis Center for Training & Services, Inc. Instructor
“Words cannot describe the mind blowing experience the Ultimate 5th Degree course offers. I have found my Path and will continue with 7th Path™ my whole life to stay on my path. I have saved life times of incarnations by doing this work and making such astounding revelations. My body and soul have always known these recognitions are truth and now my mind and emotions have had the opportunity to remember the truth as well. Don't miss the next class.”
Meredith Locher, MA, CH, Huntington Beach, California
“I appreciate the expansion and the opportunity to grow closer to Delta! Thank you so much for the guidance.”
Cathie Strand, Yorba Linda, California
“This class helped me to gain a deeper understanding of where I am heading. It was reenergizing to be in a room with others doing the 7th Path™. The exchange of experiences, ideas and insights were so valuable. I look forward to the next class…”
Heather Hayward, Pacific Palisades, California
“I knew this would be as good or better than 7th Path™ Full form, but I was not prepared for the shift which I received. If a spiritual path is like a stairway up, I not only advanced many steps but perhaps a couple of flights. I can't wait to do 6-9 Ultimates.”
Loren Gifford, Menomenie, WI
“This course in 7th Path™ Ultimate Recognitions 1-5 has changed my life, really. I now feel a sense of purpose I never have felt before, and I am truly grateful to Cal for this memorable experience. I'll cherish it always and give it lovingly to those who are ready to receive it. My only hope is that I can be as great a Light as the one who inspired me. Thank you again, Cal. May the Delta force be with you always.”
Bruce Burkey, Laguna Beach, California

”Excellence describes every aspect of this course and its instructor, Calvin Banyan. It is excellent in content, organization, materials, presentation, instruction and environment. The distillation of psychological literary and insight, brilliant common sense, practicality, efficiency and grounded spirituality is to be honored. From my direct experience, I consider this to the best hypnotherapy course the world has to offer, and one of the absolute best instructions I have ever taken. This is the best!
Take this course – give yourself this awesome gift. If you have lost the sense of your purpose and calling in life, take this course and you will re-discover it.”
Kate Fontayne, Ashland, Oregon
“Instructor is very knowledgeable. Learn a lot of things that are actually useful in real life. I see lots of possibilities of healing, both for myself and clients.”
Martine Brisson, Quebec, Canada
“Best training in hypnosis by far. Extremely well organized and presented. No fluff, no wasted time on history, too much theory, etc. Information and techniques I have not found anywhere else. I feel well prepared to work as a hypnotist and 7th Path will help me with my clients and in my own life. Everything I learned in this course is something I will use.”
Joe Meadows, Ashland, Oregon
“I wanted to cancel this class as soon as I arrived, as I thought it was a Past Life Regression class. But on Sunday, Cal and Maureen encouraged me to stay for a couple of days to decide, after the first morning of Day One, my socks were knocked off!! I now have my Path. And it’s the only Path to help my clients. I know this is the way. I am committed to being a part of bringing the energy up to make sure Cal continues to receive these insights.”
Gabrielle Mancuso, Carmel-by-the-Sea, California
“I enjoyed this class tremendously! It’s transformational both on the professional and personal side. I was really amazed at what 5-PATH® can do to help people make positive changes in a short period of time. Wonderful work and wonderful class!!”

Never a dull moment, very entertaining!”
Lydia Norris, Ashland, Oregon
“I took the course three years ago, and it has just gotten better. Thank you, Cal, for this rich experience.”
Bruce Burkey, Laguna Beach, California
“It was my second time taking the course, and as the first time, it was a fantastic experience. Cal is getting even better, 5-PATH® has been “refined” by the time and experience.
I have learned a lot in a different way, it was extremely production and exciting.”
Jean Jacques Buhannic, BCH, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

“Simply amazing. Transforming, for 5-PATH®, the process and steps you can follow are terrific, but 7th Path™ blew me away in the most wonderful of ways! Emotions and walls are released as if you have worked with a hypnotherapist. It is so healing.
People that have been meditating for years have not achieved what the first step brings.”
Mary Jean Kresky, La Crosse, Wisconsin
“I wasn’t sure why I came, it was as if a magnet had pulled me to this class. Hands down most amazing experience of my life. I have been on a spiritual and vocational quest for the last 20 years. I truly believe I have found it. This is truly an attitude of gratitude.”
Loren Gifford, Menomonie, Wisconsin
“I came to the Banyan Hypnosis Center Certification Training for the systems and a more intensive program than the 3 day programs out there. It turned out the course offered so much more than I could have possibly imagined. I graduated from the course with business savvy, a tested system for hypnosis applicable to practically any client issue, a tested system for self-hypnosis and an opportunity to teach these systems to others. The course is well organized, professionally presented and packed with need to know information culled from years of hypnosis experience, behavior analysis, psychology, and all traditions of hypnotism.
Cal Banyan is a visionary and pioneer in the field of hypnosis. He is invested in and passionate about ethics and professionality in the field. As a direct result of Cal’s hard work, I enter the field with clarity of purpose, confidence and all the tools I need to start a successful hypnotherapy practice.”
Meredith Locher, MA, Huntington Beach, California
“I sought out the Banyan Hypnosis Center, as it seemed to offer high quality instruction on a topic that has always interested me. It has exceeded all my expectations. I feel totally prepared to enter into a new profession with confidence. This is a place where you are taught and given tools to understand the client’s underlying issues, and a systematic approach to eliminate the cause. This course has truly improved the quality of my life. Thanks forever, Cal & Maureen.”
Anne Karin Nelson, BS, RPT, San Pedro, California
“I have been a successful hypnocoach since 2003. What I wanted was a more efficient, effective way to make my hypnotherapy sessions better. In the past 10 days of training, I have received everything I wanted. I now have a system to help clients with any issues they may have. Cal is a strong, determined, empathic, and passionate teacher. I will be furthering my training with him with great enthusiasm.”
Heather Hayward, Pacific Palisades, California
“Much more than ‘just’ an excellent course on hypnotherapy. Cal took us on a wonderful journey – each one of us in our own special way. Powerful. Thought provoking. Life changing. Cal has given us incredible tools to do some much needed healing of others and ourselves.
Give a man a fish – feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish – feed him for a lifetime. Thank you Cal for teaching us how to fish.”
Bernd Krumme, B.A. Oakville, Ontario, Canada
“My expectations were far exceeded for this course! I thought I’d be learning techniques and ended up learning philosophy and about a spiritual component that is integral, and how intrinsic the treatment of emotions are in the process.
Cal is very tuned in to his clients and students, and so fluent in dealing with the process of healing.”
Cathie Strand, BA, Yorba Linda, California
“This class was the most profound, life-changing experience of my life. Everyone should be required to take this course.”
Bryan Ackley, B.S., West Fargo, North Dakota.
“A class that will teach you about people, yourself and how to help others.”
