About Evan's Magician Camp
This course is based upon the work of Greg Ehmka. His courses have been
called a number of things over the years, but currently goes either by the name
"Joyful Empowerment" or simply,
"Greg's Course." This is a form of work that combines intention,
manifestation, and emotional release work in a powerful way. While Evan's
Magician Camp is based on Greg's work, it is not identical. I'll be
adding my own flavor and ideas to it, and it will evolve over time, just as
Greg's courses have evolved over time.
Because my course will differ from Greg's a little bit, I've chosen not to
adopt the "Joyful Empowerment" name. Instead, I'm embracing the name
Evan's Magician Camp for many reasons. One thing I often say about this
form of empowerment work is that what I intend often appears in my life as if
by magic. For me, many things that I once thought "that's impossible"
have come to fruition so effortlessly that they've literally been delivered
right to me with no action on my part other than the intentions I'm working on.
This work literally feels like magic to me quite often.
I have always connected with magic. I'm not talking about parlor tricks
and illusions, though those can be fun too. I'm talking about real
magic; the ability to create something out of nothing, or to do things that
seem supernatural. For many years, I've felt a sort of magician persona
within myself, and have used the name "Magus" (Latin for "magician") as an
online persona.
Additionally, the initials of this camp are EMC, which relates to Einstein's
physics equation, e=mc2. I find this an appropriate metaphor
for how this work functions. Energy and matter are linked. In this
work, emotional energy is moved, and things manifest in the 4D world. Or,
put another way, when the energy of intention, emotion, thought and action
become aligned upon a single purpose, that intention becomes a reality. Of
course, some intentions are for non-material things, yet the equation still
seems to apply.
I also offer private emotional
release sessions.
What is the Purpose of This Work?
The purpose is to be empowered in all areas of your life. This isn’t about
“power over” or some type of control or dominance. It is more about “power
between” or “power among;” the ability to manifest your desires through
emotional release, and to enhance
that ability with not only your own energy, but the energy of others.
Power is getting what you want.
You use your power all the time, and those with more of it get more of what they
want, while those with less of it get less of what they want. Of course, you can
also give your power to what you don’t want, and this is how people often
end up with exactly the opposite of what they want…they put all their energies
into what they don’t want…and then universe gives them precisely what they put
their energies into.
Joy is being in the right place, at the right time, doing the
right thing with the right people. Of course, one must recognize that sometimes "the right people" means all alone.
Thus, the purpose of this work is for you to be able to set and empower
intentions for what you want, and to release those emotions
which block you from manifesting your intentions, such that you find yourself in the right place, at
the right time, doing the right thing with the right people, and getting what
you want.
How Does Emotional Release Work?
This one is kind of strange to deal with in text form. The process is simple,
but doing the emotional release process is not “easy.” So, here are the
components to the work, as best as I can describe them. Really, they kind of
have to be experienced, and no words can really communicate fully how it works,
or how all the parts synergize to create something even more powerful. In the
simplest terms, it begins with the question, "what do you want." Next, the
question is posed, "what is present for you now." Finally, emotions,
pictures, thoughts and anything else are expressed until all that is left is a
feeling of joy and power.
The Courses
Components of The Courses
Latihan: For me, this seems kind of like contact improv dance.
Essentially, it begins by standing, sitting or lying down, completely still.
Music is played, and as it plays, the participants connect to inner guidance,
and wait for the “involuntary impulse for movement.” Inner guidance guides all
the movement. In some Latihan exercises there is contact with others; in most
there is not. Emotional release in Latihan is achieved by the power of
inner guidance and movement. The Anger Dance is a latihan
geared specifically to the expression of anger. The Fear Dance
is a latihan geared specifically to the expression of fear.
Bodyhan: This is a partner exercise where one person states an
intention and begins to feel and process emotions and thoughts, while the other
helps hold the intention, and provides inner guidance. Emotional release
in Bodyhan is achieved by the power of the inner guidance of two people working
together.
Tantrahan: This can be a partner or solo exercise, and the intention
for each participant is to share sexual energy, clear any emotions that become
present, and to follow inner guidance throughout.
Receiveehan: This is an exercise to work on the problem of the
inability of women to give their sexual energy to men and the even worse
inability of men to receive the sexual energy of women. Women's inability
in this area generally stems from anger. Men's inability in this area
generally stems from fear. Regardless of the emotional content, the
Receiveehan is designed to help clear these emotions by pushing their buttons in
a big way.
Giveehan: This exercise provides the participants with an
experience of authentic giving. This is included at all workshop levels at
the end of each workshop.
Supplemental Exercises: These include, at present, three
hypnotic sessions done in a group setting. One of the biggest problems in
the world, according to Greg, is "the appalling lack of self-love present in the
otherwise beautiful and amazing people on this planet." These hypnotic
exercises are all geared to empowering your sense of self-love, thus giving you
more power and joy in your life.
The first I call "Transforming Your Inner Critic," and it deals with
transforming the way you hear the critical voice in your head into something
that is more difficult to take so seriously. If you're saying to yourself,
"what voice?" then that's the voice I mean.
The second I call "Transforming Your Inner Self-Picture," and it deals with
transforming the way you picture yourself in your mind into a picture that
empowers you.
The third I call, "Transforming Your Inner World," and it deals with
transforming the way you picture the world, or society, or culture as-a-whole
into a picture that feels like an empowered world in which you wish to
participate at your highest level of performance.
Courses Available
While Greg teaches his course as a single 10-day event totaling about 70-80
hours of workshop time, I have chosen to divide the course into sections and
offer each section independently. I may offer a 10-day version in the
future, but for now I am offering it in the format below.

Course Pricing
If you have never attended one of these workshops with me before, and have
never experienced a private
Emotional Release session with me, then your first course is provided to you
on a 100% donation basis. For more about how this works, please see below.
If you have attended one of these workshops with me before, then there is a
minimum donation of $150 for the Introduction, I, II and the Supplemental
Courses. There is a minimum donation of $200 for Course III.
100% Donation Details
Your first course with me is always on a 100%
donation basis. That means that you come in, experience my
course, and then donate to me precisely what you feel to be the value of
the course you just received.
That amount may be more than the numbers posted above, and it may
be less. It may be nothing, if you truly felt my work had no value
for you. It may take time to give what you authentically believe
the value to be, because you do not have the funds immediately
available. It is completely acceptable to write a note to me
saying, "I intend to give $X over the next 6 months."
This offer is made to new participants because they do not know what
the value of my work will be to them. The value is "in the unknown."
This system of authentic giving is not about "what you can afford." It is about
what the value is to you. If you know before coming in that your
donation will be zero, then you are not in the unknown. You are in the
known, and not coming from the value-based place that I'm
suggesting. If this is where you're coming from, I request that
you visit another practitioner.
Minimum Donation Details
All subsequent courses from me to you are also on a donation basis, but
there is a minimum donation, which is due on or before when the
course begins. If my work has a greater value to you than the minimum
donation, then I humbly request that you give more than the minimum at
the end of the course.
If you have experienced my courses, and find them to be of lesser value
than the minimum donation, then I request that you express to me exactly what
would make my work worth the minimum donation, so that I can improve
my skills as a teacher.
Thank you, and Namaste. I truly appreciate your authentic donations.
They are a barometer for me to measure the quality of my own courses.
Located in Los Angeles
These courses are taught out of a private residence in the Westchester area
of Los Angeles. This provides easy
access for people all over Los Angeles county, as I am quite close to the
intersection of the 405 and 90 freeways, and only a few short miles from the 10
freeway. If you are visiting Los Angeles and staying near the airport,
this is only a few minutes drive away from the airport and thus, a number of
hotels and motels. I also offer
private emotional release sessions.
For more information, please see the
Resources Page.
