“This course gave me all I was searching for, and then some. Truly I came in open-minded with the only expectation of having my mind blown for the second time after going through the course on the Ultimates 1-5. This was definitely achieved! Through learning the 7th Path all the way up the Ultimate levels,up to 9, I have in the truest sense come home to myself, understanding myself, my place in this world, my connection to my Higher Power, and my Life Purpose to higher degrees than I thought achievable. Cal Banyan has given me the most amazing and profound spiritual tools that I can use daily for the rest of my life – allowing for a full filled, prosperous life for myself and those I come into contact with. Not only that, I now have the ability to pass on to teach this system to others – helping them achieve the same beautiful types of results! How exciting :) It is with total gratitude that I thank Cal for offering this course and allowing for such beautiful transformations to occur.” Kelly Cohee, M.S., CH, Rancho Santa Margarita, California

The course has given me a clearer vision of my purpose in life and made me feel more geared up to do what I have to do in this lifetime.

Thank you so much to my 5 and 7th Path family! It’s gonna be always my second home reconnecting with everyone, which made my whole US trip perfect and complete!” Mache Torres, M.A., CH, Manila, Philippines

His supporting materials – the manual with the exercises – thoroughly cover the methodology, giving the student a very clear understanding of the steps to implementing the approach. Having the opportunity to practice the exercises with my classmates and view the video demo with Cal’s commentary afterwards further strengthened my confidence on my grasp of the concepts of this system.

I feel like I’ve gained a new insight into the possibilities of therapeutic hypnosis and I’m looking forward to deepening my knowledge. Thank you Cal Banyan!” Sarah Becker, Wellington, FL

Calvin taught very well and explained in great detail so that I can systematically understand the knowledge and techniques much better. The demos (including videos) were so amazing and inspiring. His art of language used in the hypnosis is so fantastic and I’ve seen much improvement after learning what he has taught us. What surprised me a lot is my classmate would like to pay me for making a relaxation hypnosis recording on CD for him.” Xueying Luo, Guangzhou, China

His knowledge, dedication and passion to help people are easy to see and an inspiration to keep improving. There is no greater satisfaction for the hypnotist nor the client than to obtain results and truly help.” William Barnett, Fort Worth, TX

Cal Banyan’s 5-PATH system is a simple and complete approach to almost all problems.” Chris Hildebrand, Seattle,WA

“I was hungry to learn, so I decided to eat out at the Banyan Hypnosis Center. I expected to be seated and given a menu of historical perspectives on the field of hypnosis and a “platter” of direct suggestions from which I would serve future clients a la carte. Instead, I was presented a seven course, well-executed and seasoned meal. The meat and potatoes, 5-PATH. The sixth course, the rapport of lifelong friends and future colleagues.

“Cal was very thorough, dedicated and comprehensive in making sure everyone in the class understands the flow and important aspects of the certification course. Despite the long distance apart and attending this program online, it did not deter or discount my learning experience at all. On the contrary, it allows me to understand his work even better as we now need to teach these to new students. This program definitely gave me confidence and aspiration in taking my passion in hypnotherapy work to the next level!” Tracy Tan - Singapore

“I thought this was a great class and a “must take”, for all CPHI’s or aspiring CPHI’s. I have a lot of experience as a hypnotist and as a teacher but not as a hypnotist trainer. Cal gave us the depth of understanding I needed to feel more confident and capable of providing my students a solid training so they too can become competent and confident hypnotists. His showed me how to enhance their curiosity and understanding and provide them with the skills and techniques they need to be successful.” Laney Coulter – Portland, Oregon

“I’m so glad I took this training. I feel like I just got the inside “tips, tricks and techniques” of the “tips, tricks and techniques” that I learned in the 5-PATH Certification Course. I feel really excited about taking the 5-PATH/7th Path Teaching to Latin America. After the 5-PATH Certification Course that I received in 2008, I felt totally ready to start my career in Hypnotherapy, and after this CPHI Training, I feel totally ready to start training 5-PATHers.” Luis Lopez - Guatemala

“As with all trainings that I attended with Cal Banyan, he is an awesome trainer! Cal is a wealth of information that is so valuable and extremely empowering in many ways.

The CPHI class has given me a level of confidence that will enhance my business and be beneficial for my clients, as it has taken my initial Advanced certification to a whole new level of knowledge.

I look forward to continued growth in the land of 5 and 7th Path and the Banyan Hypnosis Center.

PS: Marianne (technician) was great to work with. She took a lot of time to ensure that we were all comfortable with the live online setup and successfully kept us all connected throughout the class time. Her patience is one to be commended.

Thank you, Maureen, for always being there to answer questions and explain all the paperwork and requirements.

The Banyan team is A+++ (and more so)” Marcella Hilferty – Easton, Pennsylvania

“As a current Banyan CPHI, I signed up with this training as a refresher as I did mine 7 years ago. The 3 days was not a refresher because it was nothing like the CPHI training I did, tagging along as an observer in the 10-day program. The scope and depth that was given to why some things are taught the way it is offer a perspective which will no doubt impact my future training. Not only do I get the updated on the latest development in the 5-PATH and 7th Path world, I know that my training will be aligned with the current best practice in the industry. Cal kept dropping gems after gems that I can’t wait to review the sessions again to see what i have missed out. Technical support was excellent. The platform used for Video Call was easy to navigate and intuitive to use. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience! Thanks!” Pete Tan - Singapore

“This class provided an even deeper level of understanding of 5-PATH and 7th Path Self-Hypnosis and how to teach it to students. Cal Banyan expertly balances the analytical component of the training with thoughtful real-world experience and the result is a perfect combination of the why and how 5-PATH and 7th Path work together to create such a successful system for our students and clients. I love that 5-PATH includes this type of training for instructors - it was the next logical step for me in my career development. I'm really happy I took this class.” Erika Flint – Bellingham, Washington

“This class has helped me to understand 5-PATH h and 7th Path, much deeper than before. It was also important for me to meet Cal Banyan because he is the founder of this concept. He seems to be a nice guy, and he also did a great job in the 3 Day course. I am wiser now than before the course. Thank you for letting me participate. I hope I can come and visit Cal soon” Danendra Danapala - Denmark

“I am an aspiring CPHI and signed up for the class, unsure if I was able to handle doing this (1) online (never done it before) (2) from 1am my time for 3 consecutive days (crossing my fingers that I would not wake my neighbors!) and (3) continuing on with my day to day (no sleep!). I am glad that I did, best decision I have ever made and Cal Banyan is the best trainer I have ever had.

The certification is for becoming an instructor, how to teach and why and Cal was completely on point with this. The class was a good mix of “on the way to”, “almost there” and “already there” CPHIs and even though we were all online, Cal has a knack of plugging in to exactly where you are right now and what you need to work on, individually, as if he is teaching you exclusively. Cal ensures that I have a good understanding and I can feel that he genuinely cares that I do, so I can be a good instructor and hypnotist. Cal imparts not only the “how to”, the “when and where” but also the “why” in a methodical approach that you will gain the knowledge, principles and benefits (even if you zone out for a little bit, didn’t I already say that he is the best trainer ever?)

A lot was covered during the 3 days and never a minute wasted on anything unbeneficial. This course paves my way towards being confident and competent in teaching. And I got a whole lot more out of it - it also definitely improves me to being a better hypnotherapist.

Shout-outs to Maureen for the exemplary administrative efficiency we should adopt as professionals and Marianne for making sure we can hear and be heard throughout the entire class.” Hamidah Hashim - Singapore
