Surrealist painting: a man shares tea at a small moonlit table with his own shadow, a soft magenta glow rising from the teapot between them

Cancer is the sign of home, and the closing full moon of the season asks a quiet question: could every part of you feel welcome in yours? The critic, the procrastinator, the part that wants to be seen and the part that hides all moved in for a reason. The battle between them was never going to be won by force. This last workshop is where the war ends.

Teaching and parts work in trance

What we’ll explore.

  • 01

    The parts model of the mind: why you are many rather than one (the critic, the pusher, the pleaser, the dreamer), and why every part, including the ones you fight, is trying to protect you.

  • 02

    Map your inner cast: identify the parts that run your days, the situations that summon each one, and what every one of them is guarding.

  • 03

    The end of the inner war: a parts-work process in trance to sit the opposing sides at the same table, hear what each one wants for you, and negotiate a peace they both accept.

  • 04

    Compassion as a skill: practices for meeting your hardest parts with the same presence you would offer a struggling friend, so presence becomes something you do rather than something you wait to feel.

  • 05

    Close the season: we end the eight moons by gathering what every workshop opened, and setting the ground for the year ahead.

Your guide

Hi, I’m Ginny Wan.

I’ve spent the last decade, and thousands of hours in trance, working out how the unconscious installs a pattern and how to change it there. These workshops are that work, done live and together: teaching, hypnosis, and somatic practice you can take into your everyday life.

Through working with more than 4,300 creative entrepreneurs on their businesses, their marketing, and their blocks, I kept seeing the same thing: so much of what holds us back runs below conscious awareness. That’s what led me to start Surreal Experiments, and it’s why each workshop goes to the unconscious first.

Frequently avoided questions

The questions you’re
already asking.

How much is it, and how do I book?+
A single workshop is £55, booked right on this page. Or the monthly membership covers both live workshops every month for £88, 20% off the single price. Either way, the moment you book, your confirmation lands in your inbox with your Zoom link and a calendar invite. Spots are limited, so if a workshop is calling you, book early.
How does the £88 membership work?+
It gives you a seat at both live workshops each month, one on the new moon and one on the full moon, for £88 a month instead of £110. The details and Zoom link for every workshop arrive by email automatically while you’re a member. Cancel any time by replying to any of your workshop emails.
When is it, in my time zone?+
It runs 3-4:30pm UK time on Saturday December 26 2026, for 90 minutes. In Central Europe that is 4-5:30pm CET, and in the US 10-11:30am Eastern and 7-8:30am Pacific. The calendar invite in your confirmation email shows it in your own time zone automatically.
Does it work online?+
Yes. It runs live online, so you can join from anywhere in the world. The joining link arrives by email before we start. All you need is a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed, and a pair of headphones.
Is the workshop recorded?+
Yes. The workshop is recorded, and you have 12 months of access to the material afterwards.
Do I need any experience?+
None at all. It is built for people who have never done anything like this, and for people who have been at it for years. You need an open mind and a quiet room.
I’ve never done hypnosis. Will I be “under”?+
You’re awake and in control the whole way through. This kind of hypnosis is just a relaxed, focused state, the one you drop into reading a good book or driving a route you know by heart. Your patterns were learned in that state, so that’s where we go to change them.
Is this therapy? Can it replace medical treatment?+
No to both. It’s a live group workshop, built on the tools I trained in for years: NLP, Ericksonian hypnotherapy, and somatic work. It can change a lot for you emotionally, and it still does not replace medical or psychological treatment. If you’re dealing with a mental health condition, do this alongside proper support, not instead of it.
Is there anyone who shouldn’t come?+
Yes. This work uses altered states, so it is not for you if you have epilepsy, or if you are going through psychosis, mania or delusion, or another acute mental health condition. It also opens up more feeling than you are used to, and you need to be able to handle that on your own between workshops. If you can’t right now, leave it for another time. If you are pregnant, check with your doctor first.
Do I have to join the whole season?+
No. Each workshop stands on its own, and you can come to the ones that call you. They do build on each other, so if one speaks to you, the others probably will too.
Who is this for?+
Anyone who wants to work with their unconscious patterns instead of fighting them. Creatives, founders, curious people. The exercises run on imagination and sensation, and everyone has both.
What if I’m too sceptical for this?+
Good. Sceptical means you’re awake. Come to one workshop, do the work, and judge it by what you notice afterwards.
What is your refund policy?+
For these live sessions, we do not arrange refunds or exchanges.

    “I’m transitioning from a burned out entrepreneur toward better work/life balance. After talking about this with Ginny, she suggested me to have an intuitive hypnotherapy session with her. It was super focused and practical. It helped me unblock fears I’d been carrying around work. Two months later I still think about that day and it help me work on myself to eliminate negative patterns I’ve been holding on for years. Thank you Ginny!”

    “Ginny is one of the smartest, most knowledgeable and trustworthy women I know, so naturally I jump on trying nearly every offer I find from her. Her hypnotherapy recordings were no exception and I found them to be absolutely brilliant. She simplifies concepts where simplifying is helpful, without dumbing anything down. I find that rare and deeply cherished by the people who stumble across the way she does things and, like me, become lifelong fans.”
    Tereza BarnardArtist & Psychologist
  • “I’ve worked through several of Ginny’s programs and every one has been packed with value. She knows her craft, and it shows in how she teaches: clear, practical, straight to the point. The work isn’t just theory. It’s designed to actually get you results.”
    Luis BolbruggeEntrepreneur
  • “I went from unconsciously thinking that marketing was about tricking people, to realising it’s about connecting. Breaking through that unconscious belief didn’t just help my business. I started having real conversations, and connecting with friends and family in a deeper way.”
    Thomas BosketProfessor at Parsons School of Design, featured in The New York Times
  • Google review
    “Ginny was an excellent coach, as an artist who needed support in growing as an art practice as well as a business, with her was able to understand my priorities as well as learn new skills that helped me reach the goals that i set up with her guidance and vision.”
    Jawaher Al-BaderArtist
  • “Ginny helped me uncover unconscious beliefs around sharing my work with my authentic voice. It was a practical, spiritual, and healing experience. By breaking through my limiting beliefs, I landed top-tier clients and discovered a whole new way to share my work.”
    Sharmaine KwanCreative Director
  • “Ginny helped me uncover unconscious beliefs that were holding me back. Breaking through those patterns made me a more confident business owner and a more confident person. I started doing things I never thought possible.”
