The convivium is rest from labours, release from cares and nourishment of genius;
it is the demonstration of love and splendour, the food of good will, the seasoning of friendship, the leavening of grace and the solace of life... Everything should be seasoned with the salt of genius and illumined by the rays of mind and manners.

15th century Italian philosopher and academic Marsilio Ficino

Our Workshops

OFFERED BY CONVIVIUM AND ITS PARTNERS:

Integral Development Coaching (IDC) delivers a hands-on introduction to the fundamentals of Integral Development through a blend of practice, reflection, skill-building, and theory. The course satisfies the prerequisite for the Professional Coaching Course (PCC) and is offered in Canada in both French and English by certified practitioners through Convivium.

Thwarting the Inner Critic is a two-day workshop for coaches whose purpose is to detect, discern and find liberty from our inner critic’s hold on us so that we are free to be whole, resourceful, alive, courageous and imaginative (April 18-19 2012, Ottawa).

Future offers in Canada will be posted to the website as they become available. These will include special events workshops featuring senior New Ventures West faculty members as well as subject specific events on topics relevant to coaching offered by Convivium or its partners. We’re growing our Canadian offers slowly but surely so stay in touch with us!
