Tomorrow starts TODAY... if you choose POPIA!
Are you ready to break free of the patterns that control you?
We are often unaware of the damaging and unhelpful patterns that repeat throughout our lives. Presence in Action (PIA) is a fascinating, self-resourcing practice that helps us transform how we deal with all we encounter in 
every 
aspect of our lives, relationships and work.
Unlike other personal development and reflective practices, PIA offers a practical framework to illuminate what is playing out within us. It is a simple, accessible, powerful approach to understanding and engaging with ourselves differently. It also equips us to better support others to comprehend, and change, what might be going on for them.
Crucially, PIA equips us to take personal responsibility for what we feel, say and do, moment to moment; AND it enables us to avoid being manipulated or knocked off balance by what others say and do to us.
Who is this for?
It is for anyone who is committed to make lasting, meaningful personal change. Anyone can benefit from PIA because, once you grasp its principles, it will support you wherever you are; whatever your role(s) in life. People practising PIA include those from diverse walks of life, cultures, nationalities and generations, e.g. individuals, parents, musicians, charity workers, teachers, academics, HR professionals, senior leaders, OD consultants, professional coaches, speaking mentors and supervisors of helping professionals. You will be invited to join and continue to get support from our PIA community following participation in this programme.
About the 4-day Intensive
POPIA is for up to 7 in-person or 10 online participants supported by Louie and Practice Partners from PIA Collective - a community of PIA practitioners. You will experience first-hand how the P6 Constellation framework and Emotions Palette help you NOTICE what is present and current within, between and around you, as you practise in pairs, small groups and in the whole group. You will discover how your thinking, feeling and behavioural patterns repeat across time and situations in your life. In the process of illumination, you will experience insights and transformational shifts that will surprise and delight you. Anyone wanting to become a PIA Practitioner supporting others; or wishing to enhance their professional practice begins with this foundational intensive programme.
Theoretical underpinnings (drawing on fields as diverse as systems thinking, complexity theory, cognitive sciences, cybernetics, neuroscience, Natural Inclusion etc.) will be introduced along the way to enable you to make sense of new ways of noticing, understanding and talking about what is going on for you!
However, those who use the P6 Constellation and Emotions Palette DO NOT need to engage with any of these theoretical underpinnings for it to work its magic!
What you learn, will equip you to act wisely, wholeheartedly and joyfully in all aspects of your life.
POPIA will deliver joys and surprises; it will be challenging and sometimes a bit confusing. This is coherent with the nature of this unusual learning experience. It will call on each of you to let go of what you think you know in order to discover what is currently beyond sight or reach. Through this process you will find yourselves increasingly liberated from what binds and blinds you - releasing you into accessing more of your talents and potential.
You will learn to use the P6 Constellation framework to assist you in deepening and extending your efficacy and artistry in and with life. Through practice you will become better able to see, adapt, communicate and take coherent action in any and all circumstances. You will develop the capacity to get unstuck and to liberate yourself into flow. Increasingly, you will find yourself ever more skilled in navigating the complexities and challenges you face, whatever the context.
During our time together we will make connections between ancient wisdoms and new sciences - helping you to connect to wider patterns in nature and the wider world. We will...
...dive deep and stretch high
...reach outwards and touch inwards
...explore what happens within and between us
...engage lovingly and boldly with our deepest selves
...show up, wholeheartedly, as ourselves with each other
...experiment with ancient wisdom and your embodied knowing
...connect where the sacred meets the systemic within, between and beyond
Throughout our time together, we will share, experience, reflect, play, practice and learn together. We will take advantage of all our senses and sense-making - using our bodies, minds and spirits, not in isolation but as the integrated beings that we are.
On the training, you will receive a P6 Constellation Pocket-pal, a mini Emotions Palette, Processing Workpad and Key fob talisman.
Option for more
POPIA Graduates will be invited to continue learning by joining our PIA Collective Community-in-Practice (CiP), free for one year. You will meet others practising Presence in Action in their daily lives. You will also be able to access additional 1-1 and group learning and practice opportunities. Details will be shared with those completing all four days of the training. After one year of membership, you will have the option to become a paying member of PIA Collective which will enable you to continue benefiting from learning with others.

Edinburgh Castle is the soul of the city. Stepping up the castle, as if crossing the medieval period, the ancient walls, the black ancient guns, all tell the smoke of the war. Standing on the height of the castle, overlooking the city of Edinburgh, the red tiles and green trees, the blue sea and blue sky, have a panoramic view.

Edinburgh Old Town

Edinburgh Old City, England, is surrounded by medieval stone buildings and beautiful scenery. Edinburgh is not only a financial town, but also a palace of art. Walking on the street, you can see entertainers&#39; happy performances everywhere. This is the origin of traditional Scottish dress skirts, the blend of art and life makes people linger, it is worth a visit.

The Scotch Whisky Experience

I&rsquo;m a whiskey enthusiast I really loved the royal mile and whiskey experience at the whisky trail, so much of variety to try helpful and experienced staff

Calton Hill

Mountain climbing

Oo西野司oO

&quot;Bagpipes sound from afar, I only care about your news.
The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you.&quot;
This is the location of Jay Chou&#39;s MV &quot;Obviously&quot;,
and it is also the birthplace of J.K. Rowling&#39;s creation of &quot;Harry Potter&quot;.
If you dream of a medieval city in a magical world,
then you must come here in this life.
Every building is a natural movie background,
and every corner seems to hide a secret passage to another world.
In the end, when the sunset on Calton Hill confiscated time,
Edinburgh, becoming amber that never fades, will always remain in my memory.
