Our mission is to share a wide variety of approaches to healing and happiness.

The Katonah Study Group (KSG) was founded over 20 years ago.

Founders Mark Banschick, a psychiatrist, and Cindy Blum, a clinical hypnotherapist specializing in past life regression, began holding enlightening and mind-expanding presentations in northern Westchester County, New York in 1999.

The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way we work — in 2020 we stopped in-person meetings and suspended our membership program. As a result, KSG has gone global.

With virtual programming, we’ve enabled a diverse community from around the world to attend — and also present. Whether you are a medical professional, a nurse, a therapist, a holistic practitioner, or a curious member of the general public — everyone is invited to attend KSG events.

We share 10 presentations from September through June. Each event…
