PORT HUENEME — The Ray D. Prueter Library will present “Sleep, Dreams, and Change” at 1 p.m. Saturday, March 16 at 510 Park Avenue, Port Hueneme.
Brian Balke, a certified hypnotherapist, will visit the Ray D. Prueter Library on Saturday,
March 16, at 1:00 pm to deliver a presentation entitled Sleep, Dreams, and Change. The presentation will discuss what researchers and therapists are learning about how we can better manage our most important asset: a healthy mind.
Mr. Balke is a local resident whose passion for empowering others has been a driving concern in each of his five careers. In studying management, psychology, theology, and social theories, he was concerned that explanations for why we do what we do were confusing. Strangely, he found clarity in hypnotherapy – a discipline that is popularly understood to be designed to confuse people!
What’s really important is that we can change our behavior. In three short segments,
Mr. Balke will blend the hypnotist’s view of behavior change with the benefits of sleep to convince the audience 1) to sleep longer and 2) to turn to dreams for their late-night entertainment! Following each segment those in attendance will be invited to share their experiences.
Mr. Balke is organizer of the Ventura Dream Tribe meetup. He has three blogs: one at hypnosisrising.com for those curious about hypnotherapy; another at everdeepening.com that expresses his views on “life, the universe and everything”; and a third at love-returns.org that explains the Biblical Book of Revelation.
This event is free and open to the public. For additional information, contact Bernadette McDowell, Regional Librarian, at (805) 486-5460.
