What Will I Learn at Transformations? NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) … is the study of how people use their brains to achieve success. Perhaps you’ve heard of NLP as the core of accelerated learning, or because medical research is now confirming NLP cures for phobias, asthma, allergies etc. Maybe you know that many leading business and motivational consultants such as Tony Robbins are actually NLP trainers, or you’ve heard how high achieving New Zealand athletes like Steve Gurney use our services to maximise success. Psychology Today magazine says ‘NLP may be the most powerful vehicle for change in existence.’

Transforming Communication ...is a worldwide network for training in co-operative relationship skills. Seminars can be tailored to the specific needs of teachers, parents, business organisations or general groups. Transforming Communication combines NLP and Effectiveness Training. Effectiveness Training is the course that the Roper report on violence said every New Zealand teacher should do, the most widely researched parenting course in the world, and a course which corporations such as Volvo report reduces absenteeism by 50% and dramatically improves work quality. Time Line Therapy™ ...is a registered trade mark of Dr Tad James and is exclusively licensed to the Time Line Therapy™ Association. It refers to a collection of NLP techniques which use new knowledge about how the brain stores time, to make rapid changes in emotion and behaviours. It enables you to quickly clear any past issues which have limited your happiness and success now, and then create a future which works. European medical conferences have presented research linking TLT to dramatic physical healing. Hypnotherapy ...means any process where you communicate with your own or someone else’s unconscious mind. This process is assisted by having the person enter a relaxed state of mind. Hypnotherapy is a widely accepted and well researched method of enabling people to make medical or other personal changes. Chi Kung (Qigong) ...is the ancient Chinese science which is the basis of Tai Chi, Kung Fu and acupuncture. Research shows that these breathing, movement and meditation techniques prolong life, promote stress free healthy functioning, and assist healing. In studies of 200,000 people treated at Huaxia Zhineng chi kung centre for serious illness, after one month 52% were medically checked as fully or almost fully cured. We are authorised trainers for two schools of chi kung: Zhineng Chi Kung (also called Chi Lel™) and the Universal Tao, organised by Master Mantak Chia.

What will your training be like? Our NLP courses usually run from 10am to 6pm and there is an average of one evening a week required. A light lunch is provided 1.30-2.30pm. Our comprehensive manuals minimise your notetaking and provide an invaluable lasting reference. We ensure you get individualised tution by having limited course numbers, skilled assistants, and trainers certified at the highest level in INLPA. For every topic you will get to observe live demonstrations, practise the technique with others, and discuss what you find. It’s a supportive and fun learning environment where accelerated learning processes ensure easy recall. As NLP Trainers, learning NLP is our passion, and one that we love sharing with you. Course participants consistently say that this attitude of fun, and the atmosphere of caring for the people in the group makes the training a very special experience. After the course, your learning continues, with ongoing training groups, the regular Journal, Trancescript, and advanced trainings. You can attend any training again as a full participant at a special reviewers rate of half the full fee to deepen your learning and change. If you trained with someone else, you can now add many new aspects with the unique style, content and values of the Transformations trainers. Master Practitioners can apply to assist at future trainings. Assisting is required for Trainer Certification, and gives you the chance to review the course content, and extend the personal changes. We deeply appreciate the contribution of our assistants, and the high quality of learning support they provide.

Find training that’s right for you Most people begin their NLP training with either the Keys to Success weekend or the Transforming Communication four days. These give you the core ideas of NLP and real tools to start creating the life you want. After doing the Keys to Success weekend, you may step into the Time For A Change weekend and experience some of NLP’s most powerful change processes. Once you know you want the full package of NLP models and skills, you’re ready to enroll in the first of the three levels of International certification recognized by the International Association of NLP (www.inlpa.org). These are: • NLP Practitioner • NLP Master Practitioner • NLP Trainer Each of these levels will involve you in two blocks of training, and you can do those both at once, at a reduced fee, or choose to spread them out over a number of years. If you want to work as an NLP consultant-coach, and do not yet have previous experience setting up a business, you’ll want both Practitioner and Master Practitioner certification to meet the New Zealand Association of NLP standards of practice (www.nzanlp.org.nz).

It introduces you to the basic NLP approach and gives you practical experience with the way NLP can make an immediate difference to your sense of control over your life, and to your ability to build relationships. Keys To Success may be the beginning of an exciting journey for you. Your trainer is Dr Richard Bolstad. If you like what you learn on the weekend and want more, you’ll be ready to revisit the material at a deeper level in Practitioner Certification with the International NLP Association. Health Professionals: “This was the integrating principle I had been searching for all my life.” - Dr Janine Bailey, GP, Nelson Business Managers: “Enjoyable, riveting, insightful, really useful tools. Lots of practical relevance. Most valued the hands on practicing of techniques.” - Paul MacDonald, IRD Manager Teachers and Educators: “A truly transforming experience. Learning is effortless. All aspects of the course thoroughly planned and delivered with excellence and flair.” - Trish Murfitt, Secondary school teacher, Auckland Sportspeople: “NLP Totally turned my thinking around 180 degrees to a resolved and determined attitude. Race day was incredibly enjoyable.” - Steve Gurney, triathlete, Christchurch What will I learn?

• Detect the subtle nonverbal changes that let you know when • • • •

someone is agreeing or disagreeing, so you can adjust what you say and do to reach agreement. Use specific body language to create the feeling of rapport in the first ten minutes. Create more co-operation with family, friends, colleagues and clients than ever before. Set, and help others to set, more effective, measurable and achievable goals, so you get what you intend out of life. Be able to enter a state of high motivation and confidence, or a state of deep relaxation, at will in any situation, using the NLP technique of Resource Anchoring. Identify and use the five Keys to Success which the developers of NLP found were relevant in any professional or personal situation.

15

Time for a Change Weekend Who is the course for? The Time For A Change weekend occurs right in the centre of the NLP Practitioner course. Once you complete Keys to Success, this is your opportunity to step right into the heart of the training and find out what it’s like. This weekend focuses on Time Line Therapy™. Time Line Therapy™ is a registered trademark of Dr Tad James and is exclusively licensed to the Time Line Therapy™ Association. Time Line Therapy™ is the name of a series of NLP techniques for healing the past and creating your future the way you want it. You’ll take home techniques which can make a difference every day of your life. What will I learn? Recent research suggests that these techniques can reverse the course of physical illnesses such as asthma. Long term follow-up on a Danish government study showed asthmatics remained free from asthma problems and had renewed lung function after as little as 3 hours of Time Line Therapy™. Dr Peter Rowsell is one of the many psychiatrists interested in the method’s use with psychological issues. He says “I’ve been a psychiatrist for over 40 years. However the most powerful technique I have ever seen is that of Tad James’ course for lasting human change.” Managers enthuse about the use of the techniques to enhance success in their teams. Chuck Theisen, president of the Phoenix Motor Company says “The results of Tad’s work with my salesmen were remarkable. Their performance and achievement dramatically increased.” You’ll learn how to:

• Change old beliefs about yourself which have limited your success and happiness.

• Let go of any backlog of stressful emotions like anger, sadness, fear, guilt and anxiety.

• Heal from past traumatic events. • Program goals into your future so they’re guaranteed to happen. “Brilliant. An introduction to a new and valuable way of thinking. Empowering.” - Jo Taylor, Company director, Auckland

Strategies of Success 9 Day NLP Course Who is it for? For people who want a firm grounding in NLP, at international standard, we have designed the course Strategies of Success. In 9 exciting days (from one weekend to the next), our trainers will help you integrate into your life the powerful models which make NLP work in settings as diverse as education, business, sports, health, counselling and personal development. You’ll find out why international companies like IBM and American Express have looked to NLP for their staff development; why top New Zealand sportspeople like Steve Gurney depend on NLP for peak motivation and performance; how NLP creates accelerated learning; and why people based organisations like Universities, Social Welfare agencies and corporate training groups fund their staff to do this course. The course comes complete with a 100 page manual. What will I learn? • Use both body language and choice of words to create the feeling of rapport easily and quickly, creating more cooperation at home and work. • Set, and help others to set, more effective, measurable and achievable goals. • Identify and predict the decisionmaking and thinking processes that others use, by observing precise body language changes.

Integration: NLP and Spirit A residential course combining NLP, Chi Kung and Spirituality, run by Richard Bolstad and Julia Kurusheva Living life is riding a river running back into the ocean of love. You can touch this ocean. Take some time during this life, which is so precious and so extraordinarily beautiful, and face this fundamental reality with all the passion, all the energy you can. Live for these seven days as if the question must be answered now. Be and do what you came to this planet to be and do! If the universe is gracious, together we will come upon something beyond description. The Integration experience includes 4 core elements: 1. Universal Tao chi kung training (The inner smile, the six healing sounds, opening the microcosmic orbit and utilising universal, cosmic, earth and sexual energy). Powerfully increase your health and energy level and extend your life. Create emotional harmony and increase spiritual awareness. Richard is a recognised instructor with the Universal Tao and Julia is a certified practitioner of the Universal Tao’s Cosmic Healing method. 2. Zhineng Qigong / Chi Lel™ chi kung training (Level One: Lift Chi Up and Pour Chi Down, plus Level Two: Body and Mind method). After 4224 research studies at 90 universities, Chi Lel has verified its ability to heal illnesses which do not respond to other treatments. Richard Bolstad is a certified instructor of Chi Lel™ having trained in China with Master Yoshan Jin and in the USA with Luke Chan. 3. The Ascending States Process, The Unanswerable Question Process, and other new NLP processes modelled from the work of teachers such as Siddhartha Gautama, Jiddu Krishnamurti and Ramana Maharshi. Richard is a certified NLP Trainer and Julia is a certified NLP Instructor. 4. Daily meditation, as well as quiet time to reflect on your experience, and the opportunity to share in a spiritual community with like-minded participants. Your every need is taken care of, freeing you up to just be…. Note: this training is open only to NLP Practitioners or those who have done the Keys to Success NLP weekend (see pg 14) Below: Richard Bolstad, Chi Kung Master Mantak Chia and Julia Kurusheva at the Tao Garden training centre near Chiang Mai, northern Thailand. Master Chia has written over 20 books on Chi Kung.

23 What is Integration like? “Julia Kurusheva and Richard Bolstad weave magic together to present an awesome package. A spiritual odyssey.” - Sue Tympkin, NLP Master Practitioner & therapist “Qigong exercises and NLP processes that took me to the state of “being”. The loving atmosphere; the integrity and honesty of the trainers…. This is an amazing training course. I feel as if I’ve been very gently woken up from 39 years of slumber. If you are seeking enlightenment… do this!” - Chris Lampard, Trainer “Richard taught with great knowledge and grace. Julia delivered sessions with goddess-like passion and beauty. Seven days of awakening, with fun and laughter, and time out for yourself.” - Sue Arnold-Olivercrona, Business Coach and Trainer The Tao Garden (our venue for Integration in Thailand) Tao Garden is the Universal Tao health and training resort, 30 minutes drive from Chiang Mai city in northern Thailand.
