Main intention and format of our Colloquium:
The online colloquium aims to connect integrally oriented and like-minded researchers and practitioners by offering them a forum to exchange experiences around innovative approaches to complex social challenges. It is designed to strengthen the dialog and connection between IFIS' members and friends, mostly spread out in different countries and even continents.
We invite new colleagues to join us and be part of IFIS’ community of integral research and inquiry. New presenters are always welcome.
In order to maintain a protected space, the recordings are not being published

Endorsements:
"The IFIS Colloquium is self-selected group of individuals with years of combined experience in we-space, circling and insight practices such as Bohm Dialogue, Collective Presencing, and Theory-U process. There is a lot of capacity to hold various flavors of negative capability. We ranged across a palette of silences, sharing on many levels, dimensions and octaves with verbal sharing being just one. We discovered that we can break the tension or extend it, we can agree to see it all and be seen, and to just notice our reactivity without making it wrong. In that blurring of the boundaries between giving and receiving shined glimpses of co-generative potential." (Lisa Norton)

Exploring and deepening Coherence: Learning Journeys by Cohere+
The EU-funded Cohere+ project that IFIS is part of is currently developing online and on-site learning journeys for change-makers who wish to improve their skills of creating more and deeper qualities of coherence in groups and social fields.
In this Colloquium, we will present some of these learning journeys for testers and early adopters to explore, hoping that you might help us to fine-tune them over the summer.
