										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 class="p1">Live The Laughter Hypnosis Show: Experience laughter that ignites the sense of ‘what is possible’ &#8211; The perfect fit for your evening entertainment, awards banquet or client appreciation events.</h2>
<p class="p3">A highly interactive hypnosis show as unique as it is hilarious brought to you by Wayne Lee. Tasteful performance with gut-splitting laughter that entertains and inspires in equal measures. As select audience members act out improbable scenes, participants experience the power of the human subconscious no longer inhibited by fears or self-limiting beliefs.</p>
<h3 class="p6" style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>The magic lies in the subconscious.</strong></em></h3>
<p class="p6" style="text-align: left;">Wayne Lee has studied the secrets of high performers. In his wildly entertaining performances, he shows you how subconscious programming was the key to achieving their biggest goals and how you can put the same scientific principles to work to produce next-level results in your life and business. He has helped over 6,000 global organizations achieve sustainable peak performance through the right mindset, collective alignment, and the power to overcome what seemed unthinkable yesterday.</p>
<h3 class="p2">Take your organization to its full potential by aligning your teams &amp; leaders in purpose and performance.</h3>
<h2 class="p1"><b>THE SUBCONSCIOUS SIDE OF HIGH PERFORMANCE</b></h2>
<p class="p4" style="text-align: left;">Are your people performing at their full potential? People often know exactly what they need to do to achieve their goals. But they have trouble staying motivated and following through long term. The problem is that their habitual focus tends to be limiting and negative, keeping them in suboptimal patterns of thoughts and emotions…which leads to poor performance. Your organization is a sum of many such minds. So, how do you achieve enduring success where individuals, teams, and leaders are aligned in purpose and performance?</p>
<h3 class="p2">ABOUT WAYNE LEE</h3>
<p class="p2">For over 25 years, Wayne Lee has been one of North America’s premier corporate presenters, entertainers, and peak performance experts. During his career, he has helped people from over 6000 organizations and various walks of life develop the subconscious mindset that allows them to perform at a high level no matter what challenges they face.</p>
<p class="p2">It&#8217;s a mindset that empowered him to become a 5-time national wrestling champion and achieve excellence his whole career, but it trance-formed him even more during the pandemic when business came to a screeching halt. Faced with such an intense season of adversity, Wayne had to double down on his own mindset to pivot and grow in new and unexpected ways.</p>
<p class="p2">Experiencing again how mindset can change everything further fueled his lifelong passion for empowering people to achieve their full potential. He began coaching and developed an enhanced system for achieving peak performance, The TRANCE-FORM Process.</p>
<p class="p2">Today, he works with leading brands to guide their teams through the high-stress, constant change, and fast-paced environment that is now commonplace. Wayne shows each audience how to reconnect with what matters most so they can achieve any result, all while enjoying the ride of their life.</p>
<h3 class="p2">PROGRAM</h3>
<p><em><strong>Peak Performance Keynote </strong></em></p>
<p class="p2">Wayne brings audience volunteers on stage and uses hypnosis and other mind-expanding techniques to demonstrate the power of words and the effects of repeated visualizations on the subconscious mind. He then reveals the secrets of top performers and shares simple, practical techniques and language patterns that the audience can immediately start using to internalize their goals and clear their subconscious blocks. With a shift in their mindset and emotional state, every participant, whether on stage or in the audience, becomes equipped to elevate their performance and create new results in their personal lives and workplaces.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>What if we gave you 5 minutes to unplug and recharge&#8230;</h3>
<h3>What if we gave you 5 minutes to connect with yourself and your thoughts&#8230;</h3>
<h3>Imagine a virtual reality like experience driven by music and sound…</h3>
<p>The Hum entertains and allows you to relax as you connect through the virtues of sound. Experience a full relaxation within 5 minutes.</p>
<h3><strong>How does it work?</strong></h3>
<p>As you sit on the Hum, we invite you to put on headphones and an eye mask. Once comfortably seated on the installation, synchronized frequencies of a custom-made musical soundscape will pulse through your headphones.</p>
<p>The sound is amplified via transducers that are positioned throughout the installation, which allows your entire body to connect and benefit from the vibrating music frequencies.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The Hum is a perfect way to reset, relax, refresh, revive between meetings, as well as before, during, and after a trade show.</p>
<h2>The Hum brings a unique <em>Musical Entertainment Wellness</em> concept that connects you with the virtues of sound in the most entertaining and beneficial way.</h2>
<h3><strong>A Bespoke Soundscape Journey</strong></h3>
<p>The musical soundscape that the Hum presents, brings you on an ultimate virtual reality like journey, while traveling through a unique sensorial sound experience…</p>
<p>Explore the powerful chants and sounds of different tribes from around the world through the Hum’s musical content. The soundscapes pay tribute to our ancestors with original sounds and frequencies that feature their specific “hums”, bringing you closer to nature and earth.</p>
<p>The Hum allows you to take a moment to reset and to surrender to the sound and let yourself be immersed inside its frequencies. Custom-made soundscapes can be curated to highlight a specific culture and/or to resonate with a brand identity. Examples of soundscapes are frequencies from the Amazonian jungles, <em>hums</em> from the Inuits from the Icy Lands, rhythms of the Australian Aborigines tribes and Tamil tribes of India, and Japanese chants of the Ainu tribe.</p>
<p>Each bespoke soundscape journey uses Sony&#8217;s 360 reality audio, and is produced and curated by highly regarded musicians Mobius 8 and Snow Raven.</p>
<h3><strong>The Installation</strong></h3>
<p>The installation is a 10-foot sculptural work of art with a cradle space, where the user can lounge and experience the fullness of sound and the transformative effect that the frequencies have on the entire body via vibro acoustic technologies.</p>

<p>La harpe de la terre a été installée dans certaines des destinations les plus emblématiques du monde telles que le Colisée de Rome, le Kennedy Center et le Lincoln Center aux États-Unis, le Seattle Space Needle, les temples du Vietnam, le Grand Theatre of Shanghai International Arts Festival , Le Theatro Municipal du Brésil à São Paulo, The Dhow Harbour au Qatar et les principaux festivals américains comme Coachella, Bumbershoot, Burning Man et Lightning In A Bottle.Close a également créé deux installations permanentes de Earth Harp, l&#8217;une dans le cadre du Cirque du Soleil, spectacle «Ka» au MGM Grand de Las Vegas, l&#8217;autre dans un théâtre de 1 300 places à bord du navire Quantum of the Seas de Royal Caribbean International.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>William Close is an installation artist, musician, and visionary who has developed over one hundred new musical instruments including the famed Earth Harp.<u></u><u></u></h2>
<p>The body of The Earth Harp rests on the stage while the strings travel over the audience, extending up to 305 meters in length, and attach to the back of the venue, turning every space into an instrument. The Earth Harp earned William a finalist slot on the TV show America’s Got Talent and was recently named by <em>the Guinness Book of World Records</em> as the world’s longest playable stringed musical instrument.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>William studied sculpture and sound design at the Art Institute of Chicago and his work explores the connection between architecture and music. Inspired by the Frank Lloyd Wright quote “architecture is frozen music”, Close creates musical installations that use the architecture as part of the instrument. The Earth Harp has been installed in some of the most iconic destinations in the world such as The Coliseum in Rome, The Kennedy Center and Lincoln Center in the US, The Seattle Space Needle, the temples of Vietnam, Grand Theater of Shanghai International Arts Festival, Brazil’s Theatro Municipal in São Paulo, The Dhow Harbour in Qatar, and major US festivals like Coachella, Bumbershoot, Burning Man and Lightning In A Bottle.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>Close has also created a couple of permanent Earth Harp installations, one as part of Cirque du Soleil’s show “Ka” at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, the other as part of a 1,300 seat theater aboard the Royal Caribbean International’s ship Quantum of the Seas. William is the Founder and Artistic Director of the Earth Harp Collective, an internationally renowned performance group that combines the creative forces of artists, musicians, dancers, and aerialists.</p>
