WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?

This learning opportunity is part of our emerging PIA Apprenticeship Learning Ecosystem (PALE).

In two 12-month series, the first commencing 9 April 2026, you are invited to join a steady-flowing learning encounter supporting you to develop your fluency and artistry in practising and sharing Presence in Action (PIA).

Alongside others, you will experience, witness, grapple with and practise sharing Louie’s doctoral account of what, between 2010-2022, gave rise to, and supports the efficacy of our PIA praxis and Symmathesic Agency.

WHEN WILL SESSIONS TAKE PLACE?

Sessions will take place monthly, on the second Thursday of each month, 1800-2030h

Sessions will be ONLINE, in PIA Collective's kumospace platform https://www.kumospace.com/piac-community

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Participating is primarily FOR YOU FIRST - because you want to learn more and become more agile in practising PIA and understanding why it works!

Sessions are open to ALL members of PIA Collective. This is being offered to support each and everyone of you to embed PIA as a daily living praxis.

Some of you might know for sure that you want to become Associate PIA Trainers. If this is you, you will participate in both Series. You will also attend TWO Train The Trainer (TTT) Practise events (3.5 days) which will wrap around each ASG in 2027 and 2028.

HOW IS THIS STUCTURED?

Sessions will be available in TWO series over two years. You can attend in an ad hoc way OR book for an entire series (which is cheaper overall and includes the e-publication).

In each session, we will chew on bite-sized chunks from Louie's doctoral submission, sharing our experiences, questions and exploring personal and collective confusions and conundrums.

Series 2 (2027-2028) will be similar and different. Similar, in that registered participants will attend monthly sessions, having undertaken mutually agreed preparatory engagement with topics (selected session-by-session). Different, in that Louie will take a step back, opening the space for those participants on the Associate PIA Trainer trail to 'take turns' to step forward into hosting and facilitating the learning experiences of everyone else in the space.
