    What Level 4 Was Built For

    Where depth psychology meets the trance state.

    Archetypal fluency

    Learn to recognize and work with the archetypes — shadow, anima/animus, the Self — as they surface in trance. You gain a vocabulary for the symbolic material clients bring and a map for where it wants to go.

    Symbol as a therapeutic tool

    Tarot imagery becomes a structured set of doorways into the subconscious — not fortune telling, but a projective, imaginal method for surfacing what the analytical mind keeps hidden.

    A Level 4 credential

    Graduate with a Jungian & Transpersonal Hypnotherapy certification, 32 NBCC-approved CE hours, and a protocol library you can bring straight into practice.

    The Curriculum

    Six live modules. One year of depth.

    The same six-module arc runs across the year — each a three-day live intensive on Zoom, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM MT. The work compounds module to module, from foundational archetypes through full integration.

    Is Level 4 the right next step?

    Level 4 is for you if:

    • You've completed Level 1 (or equivalent) and want a depth-psychology layer to your work
    • You're drawn to symbol, myth, and the imaginal as clinical tools — not just talk
    • You want a structured, ethical framework for archetypal and tarot-based trance work
    • You're a Jungian-oriented therapist looking to bring trance into your practice
    • You want a Level 4 credential and 32 NBCC CE hours

    Level 4 is not for you if:

    • You haven't completed Level 1 (or equivalent) — this is not entry-level
    • You're looking for a fortune-telling or divination course rather than clinical work
    • You can't commit to the full six-module arc across the year
    • You want purely protocol-driven work with no symbolic or imaginal dimension

    Questions

    Frequently asked questions

    Do I need to complete Level 1 first?
    Yes. Level 4 builds on a foundation of clinical trance skills, so Level 1 Hypnotherapy Certification (or an equivalent foundational training) is the prerequisite. You do not need Levels 2 or 3 to enroll.
    Is this a tarot-reading or divination course?
    No. Tarot imagery is used here as a projective, imaginal method — a structured set of symbols for surfacing subconscious material in trance. The framework is clinical and Jungian, not predictive.
    How is the training scheduled?
    Six 3-day live modules on Zoom, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM MT, running from September 18–19, 2026 through August 6–8, 2027. All modules are required for certification.
    Do I earn CE hours?
    Yes — Level 4 awards 32 NBCC-approved CE hours. Boulder Hypnotherapy Institute has been approved by NBCC as an Approved Continuing Education Provider, ACEP No. 7691. Check your board's rules for your license type.
    What does it cost, and can I pay in installments?
    Tuition is $6,000 paid in full, or $500/month for 12 months. Payment plans are available at checkout.
