THEPERSONALRETREATPROGRAM
A powerful transformation program for your life, one-on-one with the creator of Alchemical
Hypnotherapy, David Quigley
Many people have transformed their lives through the Personal Retreat Programs that I oer here In Northern
California. The Personal Retreat Program works in some ways like a residential treatment program in miniature.
Participants stay at a beautiful and peaceful resort in my neighborhood. Twice a day, usually in morning and
evening, they experience a deep two hour healing session with me. Then they are given a homework assignment
which can be completed on their own while walking through the beautiful woods, lakes and mountains across
from my oce, or at night in their hotel room. The goal of these assignments is to reinforce the radical principles
behind all of my work, which is utterly dierent than most hypnosis therapy. I help my clients establish a daily
bond with powerful inner resources that provide daily assistance in solving their presenting problems for the rest
of their lives. An alchemical retreat is a transformation that lasts for a lifetime.
First, for what problems is the retreat program eective? The range of issues my retreaters address successfully is
a broad one. Some come to heal addictions; others permanently change eating habits. The undisturbed and
nurturing environment helps many clients to access and clear the underlying causes of chronic illness from the
subconscious mind in conjunction with medical treatment. One woman brought her mother, who was crippled
with a stroke, and I showed her how she could help her mothers recovery every day through simple body

movements and visualization. Many have achieved remarkable healing of chronic anxiety, insomnia, phobias, even
food and chemical allergies. For others it is about improving condence in a new career, or overcoming feelings of
inadequacy or social anxiety. Still others use this time to resolve their relationship problems, to allow love into
their lives, or to change the subconscious programming that causes them to get stuck in the wrong kinds of
relationships. Some even bring their partners with them. Frequently, couples will go from the bitter edge of
separation to a total renewal of their love for each other once their issues are resolved.
But how does it work? How does what you do dier from other therapeutic interventions?
A retreat is rst of all an opportunity to let go of daily habits and the demands of a busy life in order to focus on
healing of body, mind, and soul. My center is right across the street from over 10,000 acres of beautiful wilderness
parks. The weather is nearly ideal all year round, with average temperatures hovering between 50 and 85
degrees, and mostly sunny skies. We are surrounded by rst class restaurants oering healthy international
cuisine. Our favorite accommodation to recommend is the Flamingo Conference Resort and Spa here in Santa
Rosa, CA. The Flamingo is a spacious, friendly and comfortable resort with two pools, a health club, and lovely
gardens.
My clients tell me that this retreat is far more powerful than any they have done before. In 8 hours of one-on-one
therapy with me, you can address your presenting issues with unprecedented focus and skill. Plus you will be
given homework to do between sessions. The principle of homework is as simple as it is revolutionary: I am
helping clients build their own internal resources that they can use to solve their problems. One clients
homework after a session is to call on her inner mate to bring her comfort and guidance about her love life.
Another is asked to receive a dream (or a vision after a nights sleep) about the underlying cause of a tumor.
Another client practices calling on her inner warrior to assist in a dicult confrontation with an abusive ex, which
she handles in her hotel room. Often, written assignments are included. (Write down all the qualities a real father
should have to help you with this.) Then each client reports their results to me and most clients say they are

excited about the powerful results they are having right away. They are learning to call on the wisdom already
inside them, with ease and power.
Sometimes I hear: Well I tried but I couldnt get there! Far from representing a failure of the process, this
perceived failure (typical of most beginners to spiritual work) gives both of us the opportunity to do one of two
critical moves. First, I may help my client to access in trance the underlying subconscious cause of this block. I feel
I would betray my mom to call on a new mother! is but one example of what trance might reveal. Then we can x
the problem quickly. So now we have acknowledged how much mother tried and how much you love her. Good.
And now we ask her blessing as we help your little girl nd a new helper mommy for her, while your adult will
always honor her as mother. Okay?
Sometimes we simply need to practice the summoning process again and again to develop the skill. (So we forgot
to call on the gift and touch your heart with a deep breath? Okay. Lets practice that again.) Like learning to ride a
bicycle, with a little practice it is easy for most people to learn to call on those inner resources. And during a
personal retreat there are few distractions, so it is easy to perform that practice every hour. My thirty years of
experience as an Alchemist is available for every need. But just like learning to ride a bicycle, one has to fall o,
then get back up and get back on. My retreats are the perfect environment in which to develop these skills,
whether you are resting in your hotel room, lounging by the pool, walking the beautiful wooded hills or practicing
new eating habits at the organic caf next to my oce.
Some folks say they would just prefer that I take them under hypnosis and erase their drug cravings, x their back
pain or heal their self esteem, then wake them up when I am done. The problem with this approach is twofold.
First, the subconscious mind has its own reasons for creating the problem. Much of my job is making these
motivations conscious, and teaching my clients to address these unresolved pains and unmet needs.
I believe that despite the major advances of modern medicine in treating numerous diseases, modern medicine
http://www.alchemyinstitute.com/thepersonalretreatprogram.html

1/6/2017

AlchemicalHypnosisPersonalRetreatProgramalchemyinstitute.com

has mostly ignored the underlying subconscious causes. And patients pay the price when their diseases or similar
ones often return in a few months or years. My job as a hypnotherapist is to ll this gap in the modern practice of
medicine, not just to use hypnotic suggestion to command the symptoms to disappear. Too often the apparent
ease of modern medication (and modern hypnosis!) in removing symptoms has left my clients clueless to solve
the underlying issues their pain is trying to bring to their attention. They are unaware that much more is needed
than pain control to solve their problem. One client suered chronic back pain. I took her in trance to where she
discovered how her walking habits were causing her back pain. Then, in trance, her body showed her a new way
of walking that relieved the pain. She felt the results immediately, and spent the next two days practicing the new
walk successfully. I never used any pain control hypnosis with her, and her problem was solved.
Secondly, my work is about far more than solving the presenting problem. I am helping my client build internal
resources of love and nurturing whose help will go far beyond the solution to their current dilemma. An inner
warrior, for example, not only motivates us to exercise and play outdoors in order to lose weight, this powerful
resource also gives us condence in a job search and help in confronting dicult relatives at a family outing.
Contact with this powerful guide can even help us lift our depression! I saw a client some years after a retreat
program, and was pleased to see her new t body. She had not only lost some 20 pounds, but had added a lot of
muscle tone and trimness to her body. Your secret? I asked her. Every day the inner warrior you xed me up
with gets me out there walking, riding, and running. she replied. And she assured me that her weight loss was
only a tiny fraction of the help her inner warrior had brought to her life, including a fullling new career as an
entrepreneur. If you want long term results, it is these internal resources who will bring them. And a two day
retreat with me can be the best way to learn and practice (without distractions) how to contact and use these
resources every day. I am reminded of that old adage:
Give a man a sh, feed him for a day. Teach him to sh, feed him for a lifetime.
There are three more considerations to make before booking your retreat program: Motivation, Companionship,
and time to sightsee.

1. You must be willing to nd and address the underlying cause of your condition. You dont need to know how;
thats my job. But you must have the courage to face the truth inside you. And you must be ready to embrace
these inner resources for your daily life. I wont waste your money, nor use my time with someone who is not
willing to do their own work. I have dismissed clients (with a full refund) if their dedication to this work is not clear
to me or if they prove unable to enter a receptive state of trance. So think carefully before reserving a retreat with
me. Are you truly ready to explore the underlying cause of your condition in the subconscious mind? Are you truly
ready to learn how to use your own inner resources every day to solve your problem? If so, prepare for a miracle.

2. Consider bringing your partner, a friend, or family member. The advantages of this are multiple. First, I can use
some of the time to enroll your friend as your supporter, teaching them how to assist in making your results more
lasting. Here are some real life examples:
And now, Joe, every night before bed you can touch the area of your wifes tumorjust like this while reminding
her of all that she has learned today. And before each medical treatment you help her with these movements and
suggestionsheres how.
And now Mary, every time you feel a craving to use, you can take your frightened sad child to your boyfriend, and
he will remind you to call on your new inner mother to comfort her. Heres how to do this, Fred.
So you can see here, Susan, how your mothers inner healer wants you to move and touch her hand so feeling
can be restoredlets practice that now, with the color work we practiced yesterdaygot that?
The retreat experience can be used to heal relationship issues between family members through couples trance
work. Here is an example from a recent couple, whose relationship was utterly transformed:
So Dana, when you become scared that Bill is unfaithful, heres the new strategy. First, you remember instead of
calling on your Ice Queen to withdraw and punish him, you will call on your new inner father to remind you that
Bill has changed his ways, as his presence with you in my oce has clearly demonstrated. And Bill, if you see the
Ice Queen emerging, your task is to remind yourself that her little child is scared. Thats what she is doing to

protect herself. So you just reach over there and hug little Dana and remind her you are a dierent man nowlike
that, yes. Now lets practice that skill.

Sometimes its fun just to have a companion with whom to share your journey. One client from the UK brought

her best friend all the way from London with her, just to have the companion. Sometimes your companion may
want one or more sessions for themselves. So, both you and your companion can share the rebirth that is
Alchemy together. Then you can continue to support each others journeys long after you y home together.
3. Sonoma County is also a spectacular tourist Mecca. I encourage my retreaters to stay an extra day, or a week,
to sample these remarkable sights in the year round ideal weather of the northern California coast. Only one hour
away, San Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, a city lled with adventure. We are also only
one hour from the rugged mountains descending into the sea that is the famous Sonoma Coast. Half an hour
away, giant redwood groves draw tourists from all over the world. Sonomas wine country, along with that of Napa
Valley next door, is famous for its exotic chateau wineries and international award-winning wines. My center is
adjacent to thousands of acres of mountains, lakes, and forests teeming with wildlife and hiking and biking trails.
Add our spectacular golf courses, the hot springs of nearby Calistoga and our closeness to the high Sierras, and
you have a recipe for the vacation of a lifetime. As an experienced local guide and mountaineer I am happy to
help my retreaters plan for an exciting visit to this enchanted country. So in your planning, be sure to include a
day or two after the retreat to enjoy yourself.
With a heavy teaching and travelling schedule, I dont always have immediate openings for new clients. However I
do my best to return all calls within 48 hours. Call my cell phone see the contact information below.
Cost: A Retreat Program of four or more sessions saves you 10% o the single session cost. I oer a free 15
