June Gifts and Graces: Navigating Change: The Hidden Steps to Resolution
2026-06-05 18:00 - 19:00 | AZ
It’s often said that when one door closes, another opens. Southwest Institute of Healing Arts
(SWIHA) embodies this truth, having navigated many transitions over the past 34 years. Now, we stand on the brink of another significant change: our lease at 1538 E. Southern has expired, and we will be relocating to a new facility just across the way in Tempe City Towers. This move will allow us to embrace the beautiful green belt and unite our three building around pond area (SOY and SWINA), creating more of a campus effect!
As this will be the last monthly event held at our current building, we invite you to join us in a spirit of gratitude and appreciation for the cherished memories created within these walls.
Jennifer Sanders, RPE, RPP—Director of Polarity and Integrated Cranial Sacral Unwinding Programs at SWIHA—has chosen the perfect topic for this gathering: “Navigating Change: The Hidden Steps to Resolution.” Jennifer will guide you through the gentle, clear sequence that every meaningful shift follows—be it personal, collective, or global. In a world that moves quickly and often brings stress, understanding where you are in your journey is truly magical.
This event promises to be more than just a listening experience; it’s an interactive journey of
self-discovery. You’ll actively participate, map your own process, and learn to identify the stages
that lead to resolution, fresh clarity, and real, lasting change.
Additionally, many of our graduates will be joining us as vendors or practitioners, offering complimentary services throughout the evening. We will also host a “garage sale” style event in the bookstore, liquidating items that won’t be moving to our new location next month. This is a wonderful
opportunity to celebrate and reflect together as we transition into a new chapter.
Join us for an evening filled with insight, community, and heartfelt appreciation. We look forward to celebrating with you!

July Gifts and Graces: Dreams, Imagery and Hypnosis
2026-07-10 18:00 - 19:00 | Southwest Institute of Healing Arts, 1538 E Southern Ave, Tempe, AZ, 85282, United States
“If you can dream it, you can achieve it!”
This quote highlights the idea that our dreams can become reality.
Join Linda Bennett as she explores the powerful connection between dreams, imagery, and hypnosis.
Hypnosis and dreaming share a common pathway: access to the subconscious mind. Both rely on vivid, emotionally engaging imagery—often referred to as primary process thinking. This type of imagery can be a powerful tool for encouraging behavioral change, solving problems, and supporting personal growth and manifestation.
Because of these similarities, dreams and hypnosis can be used together for therapeutic purposes. Hypnotherapy provides a guided and focused approach to exploring dream content, helping to reduce distress, enhance self-awareness, and foster creativity.
While dreams occur naturally during sleep and hypnosis is a guided state of focused attention and heightened awareness, both engage similar mental processes and brain states. Together, they offer unique opportunities to explore the psyche beyond ordinary waking consciousness.
Stay after the presentation to experience a group hypnotherapy session.
