Friday 19 December 2025, 10am - 5.30pm UK
Our way of talking about and teaching ‘The 10 Ways’ keeps changing and evolving. This is an opportunity to join that conversation. We’ll spend the first part of the day exploring the way we call ‘Vocation’, including looking again at 'Working with the 10 Ways through the 6 Streams', which has been introduced into the PCC in recent years. And then we’ll turn our attention to the ways that call us beyond, into the more mysterious realms of surrender, allowing, undoing and letting go, from ‘Freedom from Self-Assessment’ to ‘Freedom from Death’.
These days are informal - we will use the time to cover what is most interesting to the group.
The fee for each day is £175 (ex UK VAT). If you're in the UK we will need to add UK VAT at 20%.
We want to make this opportunity available to everyone, and know that everyone's financial resources are different, so you are also welcome to let us know that you would benefit from a reduced fee. We'll get in touch to agree with you what can work.
Winter Graduate Day : Integral Supervision, hosted by Neena and Lizzie
A day to explore the possibilities of supervision - as integral coaches, parents, friends, colleagues and any other role where we hold power in our lives.
Neena and Lizzie are excited to be offering our Thirdspace Winter Graduate day on 5th December 2025 on the topic of Integral Supervision. This will be an experiential day where we invite you to bring your live, life-giving questions for inquiry and support. This may encompass explorations such as:
How am I being, practicing (serving) in the realms of my work and wider-life?
What kind of questions, dilemma's or delights am I in the midst of?
Our intention is to share with you a model of developmental supervision which we regularly practice amongst our Global Teaching Faculty. In our experience, it provides a rich, communal container for our ongoing unfoldment - both individually and collectively. Being in community, sharing our lives, our challenges and our gifts will be at the heart of our day together.
Our vision is to create a space together that honours the ways we serve. Filling our own teapots so that the tea we pour can deepen in its nourishing, wise and integrity filled nature. The heart of Integral Supervision is to widen the net of wisdom and compassion, enabling us to experience deep, presence filled support for all we’re up to in the world.
Our secret title for this workshop is called 'Serving those who Serve' and we will be delighted to share this with you.
We hope to see you on 5th December, we’d love to have you gather with us,
Please book your place and we’ll send you an invoice.
The workshop fee is £180.00 (£150.00 + UK VAT). If you're in the UK we will need to add UK VAT at 20%.
Attendance will count for your annual recertification as an Integral Development Coach.
We are committed to making our learning accessible to everyone, so please just drop us an email if the workshop fee is a barrier to your participation. We will be glad to respond.
Please save the date and we’ll be in touch with further details about the topic for the day.
Open to everyone - our graduate community, friends of Thirdspace, your partners, friends, children, pets. Come and gather and meet people in person. It will be a relaxed, 'everyone welcome' time on Sunday 7 September from 2pm to 5pm. We’ll meet just inside Sheen Gate of Richmond Park in SW London: what3words location music.agree.vision
The nearest train station is Mortlake. It’s about a 10/15 minute walk from the station and there are lots of coffee shops / places to get a sandwich on the way up from the station to the park gate.
As you come into the gate, we’ll be somewhere on the right hand side of the gate in the forest area just beyond the car park area. You can also drive if you live nearby and the car park is very near to the forest area where we’ll gather picnic style.
You can bring whatever you’d like to eat, drink, share, play and we will simply hang out, chat and be together for an afternoon. We’ll be hoping for some late-summer sunshine.
Everyone is welcome - family members, friends etc. And we hope to gather as many of us together as we can.
Part 2: Working With Your Clients
Part 2 of this programme is intended to support you in opening up paths for supporting your coaching clients in working with their own system of self and parts with kindness, truthfulness and compassion. You’ll need to complete Part 1 in order to join Part 2. You can read more about Part 1 here.
On Part 2 you will have the opportunity to continue to attend to the path of your own development. Through conversation, practice and reflection we’ll support you in
working ‘in the moment’ with parts and essential self
supporting your clients in staying in compassionate contact with those parts that may have been pushed away or exiled
being of support to your clients in freeing parts that have taken up ‘no-longer-called-for roles’ in bringing their gifts.
There will be a strong practice and reflection thread to our four days together, with many opportunities to step into the wonder of working with parts, self and process with others in the group.
The programme is offered entirely online and runs from 10am to 6pm UK time each day. We will gather in an intimate and welcoming community of learning on Zoom, with 18 places open to anyone who is a graduate of the PCC and who has completed Session 1 of this programme. The four days will be led by Neena, Lizzie and Justin.
Fees for Part 2
We are developing models for fees that can themselves be as inclusive as possible. We want to make our work increasingly available to everyone. To support this we’re offering three different choices for fees for this module:
Attender - the standard course fee of £1200 (+ UK VAT if applicable)
Supporter - an opportunity to make it possible for others to join us. You pay a course fee of £1200 (+ UK VAT if applicable) + a donation towards someone else’s place. We suggest a donation of £300 or £400 but you can choose to donate less or more as your resources allow
Supported - a reduced course fee of £400 (+ UK VAT if applicable)
If these fees don’t work for you, please speak to us. We are committed to finding ways to have our offerings be as inclusive as we can.
An informal, conversational day of study and learning with Justin
Towards the end of February I'll be hosting the next of our informal study days, which will run on Zoom with between 6 and 12 people, depending upon how many people are available and interested in joining. Each day stands alone so you can join whether or not you’ve been with us for one of these before.
The Ten Ways are such a powerful way into working developmentally with our clients, and with ourselves. This will be an informal study day in which we'll study the later stages in the Ten Ways together - the worlds they invite, and the developmental shifts between them. We'll also include looking again at 'Working with the 10 Ways through the 6 Streams', which has been introduced into the PCC in recent years.
I’ll look forward to seeing you there.

Two standalone days of study and learning with Justin
Towards the end of December I'll be hosting two days of informal study groups, which will run on Zoom with between 6 and 12 people, depending upon how many people are available and interested in joining. Each day stands alone so you can join just one or both.
I’ll look forward to seeing you there.

Thursday 19 December 2024, 10am - 5pm UK
Martin Heidegger's philosophy can do so much to illuminate our lives. He gives us powerful distinctions for observing ourselves, for seeing how we change, and for undoing much of the reductionist narrative that our contemporary society pulls us into. There's also much of integral development coaching that draws on his work. This informal study day will draw on all of this. You do not have to know anything about Heidegger’s work, or to have studied philosophy, to join us. And you don’t need to read his over-complex and confusing work - we will learn together with pictures, conversation, and from all of our questions. All you need is an openness to learning, to being deeply curious, and to be up for an inquiry into life with fellow learners.
Friday 20 December 2024, 10am - 5pm UK
The Ten Ways are such a powerful way into working developmentally with our clients, and with ourselves. This will be an informal study day in which we'll study the earlier stages in the Ten Ways together - the worlds they invite, and the developmental shifts between them. We'll also include looking again at 'Working with the 10 Ways through the 6 Streams', which has been introduced into the PCC in recent years. There’ll be a follow-up day in February on Power to Vocation and Beyond.
Please save the date and we’ll be in touch with further details about the topic for the day.
For some time now we’ve been drawing on a powerful body of work - ‘Internal Family Systems’ - as we have worked with our own development and with our clients in our coaching practices. It’s a way of understanding people that proposes that we’re never just ‘one thing’ but constituted as a system, or ‘family’, of inner parts that are in an unfolding process of ongoing relationship with one another and the world. As well as the many parts of us (some of which are protector parts, some of which are ‘exiled’ parts carrying both burdens and gifts) the model proposes an enduring Essential Self - wide, deep, compassionate, present - which can attend to the parts, support them and, when called for, lead the family of parts in skilful ways.
The approach has strong resonance with all we teach on the PCC and has an enormous degree of explanatory power - how we get stuck, how we might compassionately liberate the gifts we could bring, and how we can honour and integrate what is more difficult or challenging within us. It opens up new ways of understanding development (in the 10 ways), personality (as in the 3 Panels, Enneagram), and the ‘essential self’ with the many qualities and virtues that we can bring into the world. And it lends itself very pragmatically to working sensitively and powerfully with the unfolding developmental and relational process of our clients in all four human domains. It’s a wonderful and coherent adjunct to the skills of coaching you’ll have learned in the PCC.
Part 1: Working with Our own Inner Systems with Compassion and Inclusion
In our first 3-day session we’ll focus on ways we can work with our own inner systems and how they have us show up in the world of others. We intend that you leave the first session with
powerful new distinctions and practices that can help you begin to observe and work skilfully and compassionately with your own inner family systems - in support of everything belonging and in support of your own ongoing unfoldment
ways to further develop your sensitivity, care and creativity in working with yourself that can form the foundation for working with others.
The programme is offered entirely online and runs from 10am to 6pm UK time each day. We will gather in an intimate community of learning on Zoom, with 18 places open to anyone who is a graduate of the PCC. The three days will be led by Neena, Lizzie and Justin.
Fees for Part 1
We are developing models for fees that can themselves be as inclusive as possible. We want to make our work increasingly available to everyone. To support this we’re offering three different choices for fees for this module:
Attender - the standard course fee of £900 (+ UK VAT if applicable)
Supporter - an opportunity to make it possible for others to join us. You pay a course fee of £900 (+ UK VAT if applicable) + a donation towards someone else’s place. We suggest a donation of £300 but you can choose to donate less or more as your resources allow
Supported - a reduced course fee of £300 (+ UK VAT if applicable)
If these fees don’t work for you, please speak to us. We are committed to finding ways to have our offerings be as inclusive as we can.
Part 2: Working With Our Clients, March 2025
A second session which supports you in extending your understanding to your work with your clients will run over four days in March 2025. We encourage you to reserve a place on Part 2 here if you would like to complete the whole programme with us in 2024.
Dates: 16 October, 20 November, 18 December, 15 January, 19 February, 19 March
Time: 6.30pm-8.00pm via Zoom
Our intention is for the Book Club to be a regular practice in reading and sharing. Each month we will explore a set of facilitated questions: making space for conversation and reflection and honouring our tradition of learning as a community. We want to invite an ever deepening understanding of human development, supporting both our work with clients and with ourselves.
Sessions will include a short orientation to the topic by the Book Club host, followed by time in groups to reflect on our individual and collective learning, before coming back together for a group review. We hope that this structure will give the opportunity for as many people who would like to join us to do so while providing the intimacy of small group discussion.
Attendance at all six sessions will count for recertification as an Integral Coach for the coming year.
This programme is a mix of theoretical base in an action learning set format which brings together a small group of learners (maximum 6 per group) on a journey of discovery around the business of coaching. It aims to support participants in answering the typical questions that you have as you embark on setting yourself up as a coach and developing a business in a crowded market place.
The intentions of the programme are …
To discover your unique talents as a coach
To dream about where these talents could take you
To design ways of delivering your talent into the world
To deploy and then cross check back as we learn together
The programme includes a midway individual coaching session with the course lead.
PRACTICALITIES
The programme will run over 3 months - with online sessions of 2.5 hours every two weeks on the following Tuesdays from 9.30-12 noon UK:
14th October, 28th October, 11th November, 25th November, 9th December, With the final session at the start of the year on 6th January.
The fee is £850.00 + VAT if applicable. We ask you to pay a £30 (inc VAT) deposit to secure your place, which is transferrable to other Thirdspace events. Please speak to us if you’d like to participate but the fee makes it difficult for you to do so.
Open to everyone - our graduate community, friends of Thirdspace, your partners, friends, children, pets. Come and gather and meet people in person. It will be a relaxed, 'everyone welcome' time on Sunday 7th September from 2pm to 5pm. We’ll meet just inside Sheen Gate of Richmond Park in SW London: what3words location music.agree.vision

Deepening the work of Session 1: Centring on your commitment, we are offering three further days of Somatic Awareness.
Session 2: Centring in your relationships (10th November)
Session 3: Speech Acts through the body (2nd February)
Session 4: Blending and staying centred (26th April)
The workshop will be led by Bobby Davies and Andy Rogers.
Somatic Coaching teaches us how to become a deep observer of how we think, the stories that run through our head, our moods and emotions in these stories, the sensations in our body (SELF) and the actions taken as a result.
This in-person workshop will allow us to explore our conditioned tendencies, practice centering, and work with new ways of being in our bodies to support our commitments and declarations in the world.
By working with a Somatic Coach our stories can get re-wired THROUGH the actions and practices we take with our body. And the more we practice, the more EMBODIED they become, and a NEW SHAPE emerges.
And as a holistic observer, fully using our BODY/SELF as a valuable resource, we find more choices, more possibilities, new actions.
The workshop will be led by one of our Alumni (Fellow travellers ) Bobby Davies, who is also a qualified Somatic coach with the Strozzi Institute and Andy Rogers who has studied deeply in the somatic stream.
Dates: 18 October, 15 November, 20 December, 17 January, 21 February, 20 March

WORKING WITH PARTS & PROCESS: MODULE 2: WORKING WITH OUR CLIENTS
Module 2 of this new programme is intended to support you in deepening your own skilfulness in working with your own unfolding developmental process with kindness and compassion AND stepping into skilful ways of supporting your coaching clients in doing the same.
We will gather in an intimate community of learning on Zoom, with 18 places open to anyone who participated in the pilot Module 1 in July 2021, or the Module 1 in November 2021. The four days will be led by Neena and Justin.
The programme will be specifically oriented towards integrating bringing a parts and process sensitivity into your practice as an integral development coach. We’ll study and practice together working ‘in the moment’ with parts and essential self, and we’ll discover ways to be of compassionate support to our clients in freeing parts that have taken up ‘no-longer-called-for roles’ in bringing their gifts. There will be a strong practice and reflection thread to our four days together, with many opportunities to step into the wonder of working with parts, self and process with others in the group. And, as with every Thirdspace programme, we’ll build together an intimate, welcoming and supportive environment for our sincere enquiry and the joys of learning together.
