The NLP Starter Class
with Katie Raver
Learn practical tools for changing your inner experience and helping others.
Austin, Texas • Two-day immersive class
Whether you're completely new to personal growth or you've spent years reading books, listening to podcasts, and exploring new ideas, this weekend is designed to give you something different:
An experience.
Instead of simply learning concepts, you'll practice simple, practical NLP processes that help you shift your thinking, emotions, and behavior in ways you can use immediately.
By the end of the weekend, you'll leave with tools you can use on your own - for everyday challenges, important conversations, creative work, relationships, and the moments when you want to step into the best version of yourself.
I've spent more than two decades teaching NLP to thousands of curious, thoughtful learners all over the world. This is the class I recommend to nearly everyone because it provides a strong foundation while also standing completely on its own. You don't need years of study to benefit from what you'll learn here.
During this weekend you'll discover how to:
Move from stress, overwhelm, or self-doubt into calmer, more resourceful states.
Create the mindset that's most useful for whatever you're doing, from difficult conversations to creative projects to simply enjoying your day more.
Learn from past experiences without getting stuck in them.
Understand other people's perspectives with greater flexibility and compassion.
Build motivation for the things that matter most.
Experience several classic NLP processes that you can continue using long after class ends.
This isn't a lecture.
Every concept is taught through stories, demonstrations, guided practice, and partner exercises.
For each process you'll:
Hear an engaging story that brings the idea to life.
Watch Katie demonstrate the process live.
Receive simple written instructions.
Practice guiding another participant.
Experience the process yourself.
Ask questions and deepen your understanding.
This observe–experience–practice format helps you build confidence quickly so you can begin using what you've learned immediately - in your personal life, your work, and with the people you care about.
Whether you simply want a richer life, to communicate more effectively, to become a better coach or leader, or to explore NLP before deciding about further training, the NLP Starter is a welcoming place to begin.
Is this class for me?
You don't need any previous experience with NLP to enjoy this class. All you need is curiosity and a willingness to participate.
This class is a great fit if you:
Want practical tools for creating more choice in how you think, feel, and respond to life's challenges.
Enjoy personal growth and learning through experience rather than just reading or listening.
Are a coach, therapist, educator, manager, healthcare professional, or someone who supports others and wants additional tools for helping people grow.
Want to communicate with greater clarity, empathy, and confidence.
Are curious about NLP and would like to experience it before committing to a longer certification program.
Simply want a fun, engaging weekend where you'll learn useful skills, meet thoughtful people, and discover new ways of understanding yourself and others.
People come to NLP Starter for many different reasons, but they often leave with something they weren't expecting: a greater sense of possibility, a deeper understanding of themselves, and practical tools they continue using long after the weekend is over.
