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.

Day 1 Presence and Absence - What Heidegger’s philosophy can teach us about life and coaching

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.

Day 2 Deeper Into the Ten Ways: Balance to conversations

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.

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.

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.

Beginning in October 2023, Thirdspace are offering the 4th season of our Book Club that will run over 6 monthly online sessions, open to all PCC graduates and current PCC students.

Dates: 18 October, 15 November, 20 December, 17 January, 21 February, 20 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.

Session 2: Working With Your Clients

Session 2 of this new 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 will also 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.

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.

Fees for Module 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 £800 (+ UK VAT if applicable)

• Supporter - an opportunity to make it possible for others to join us. You pay a course fee of £800 (+ 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

WORKING WITH PARTS & PROCESS: MODULE 1: WORKING WITH OURSELVES WITH COMPASSION AND INCLUSION

For some time now we’ve been bringing ‘Internal Family Systems’ into our coaching practice. 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 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 an enormous degree of explanatory power - how we get stuck, how we might compassionately liberate the gifts we could bring - and 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, in combination with ‘Focusing’ (a way of working with the moment-to-moment unfolding of the rich and complex systems that we are), it also lends itself very pragmatically to working sensitively and powerfully with the unfolding process of our clients. It’s a wonderful and coherent adjunct to the skills of coaching you’ll have learned in the PCC.

We intend that you leave the first module with 

• powerful new distinctions and practices that can help you begin to work skilfully and compassionately with your own inner family systems

• ways to further develop your sensitivity, care and creativity in working with yourself that can form the foundation for working with others.

Fees for Module 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 £700 (+ UK VAT if applicable)

• Supporter - an opportunity to make it possible for others to join us. You pay a course fee of £700 (+ 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)
