PIA: Café Conversations
sharing stories about Presence in Action
What is going on in your life that is NOT how you want it to be? What can you do to change it?
Access the power of Presence in Action!
How? The P6 Constellation is proving to be a powerful way for people across contexts, generations and cultures to liberate themselves from stuck and destructive patterns in their lives, helping them to transform themselves and their relationships. We call this Presence in Action.
But what is it? How does it work? Can anyone do this? Why not come along to hear personal stories about how we are using the P6 Constellation on a daily basis to navigate life’s challenges.
We would love you to join us: Louie will be joined by one or more PIA Practitioners from our Community-in-Practice (CiP) who are embracing this approach to move through life with more joy and freedom. We have experiences to share which may excite and surprise you – stories of struggle, joy, celebration and wonder. We share how our friends, families, colleagues and kids are being impacted by the changes in us. Be ready to be touched and inspired to try out this radically new approach to human transformation.
We can’t wait to meet you!
If you are intrigued and want to find out more over a cuppa, register via Eventbrite.
There will be a nominal fee to cover expenses. You can purchase refreshments on arrival at the café.
EPIA: Encounter Presence in Action
introducing the P6 Constellation
EPIA is for 6-24 participants.
This one-day introductory learning event opens you up to encountering Presence in Action through the portals of the P6 Constellation. Louie invites you to open up to the possibilities of liberating yourself from life-long stuck patterns that get in the way of you having the life and relationships you really want. You will get introduced to the basics of the P6 Constellation – what it is (and is not); what it does (and does not do); how despite some similarities, it is fundamentally different from conventional coaching and therapeutic approaches. More importantly, you will gain a sense of how it can equip you to engage with yourself and others more compassionately, joyfully and hope-fully.
Louie shares how the P6 Constellation came into being. She signposts some of the academic theories and complexity principles that inform / make sense of its form and process. One or more of our PIA Practitioners will share their own experiences and will support participants to ‘have a go’ for themselves.

POPIA: Praxis of Presence in Action
resourcing yourself for life
This four-day intensive programme will resource you wherever you are, whatever you do – supporting you personally and professionally to navigate and transform the stresses and distresses you experience in your work, life and relationships. POPIA is for up to 7 participants supported by Louie and 1-2 Practice Partners from our Community-in-Practice (CiP). 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 dsicover 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 Presence in Action Practitioner supporting others; or wishing to enhance their coaching, supervision or therapeutic 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 access 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!
POPIA Graduates have the option to become members of Presence in Action Collective and to participate in advanced learning offerings within our PIA Apprenticeship Learning Ecosystem.

Presence in Action Practitioner Training
transforming lives with the P6 Constellation
Currently we have five ripples of learning which develop, reflect and acknowledge your capacity to work with more people ‘in the room’ using through Presence in Action, using the P6 Constellation. This means handling greater complexity and unpredictability. POPIA equips you to be a Self-Practitioner enabling you to develop greater resilience, resourcefulness and self-mastery. To be recognised as a Community Accepted Practitioner (CAP) working safely with others, you will need to join our Community-in-Practice (CiP) and participate in CiP gatherings at least twice a year.
COMMUNITY ACCEPTED PRACTITIONER (CAP) PROGRESSION
For those wishing to support others in a professional capacity, you can progress to: CAP(1-1); CAP(Groups); CAP(Associate Supervisor); and CAP(Associate Trainer). To gain and retain your acceptance as a PIA practitioner, you embrace and follow through on our shared CAP Commitments.
CAP(1-1)
POPIA participants experience the power of the P6 Constellation to bring about personal transformational shifts. It takes practice to integrate this pioneering approach in support of our ongoing personal development. It takes committed practice with other learners to develop the confidence and sufficient acuity, agility and fluency to support other people facing challenges in their own lives. As P6 Constellation practitioners, we need to go there first before presuming to work with others. People wishing to become 1-1 Practitioners declare their interest. They attend a 2-day CAP(1-1) Orientation training and embrace the CAP Commitments. Full details are made available to those wishing to progress.
CAP(Groups)
CAP(1-1) Practitioners wishing to use the P6 Constellation with groups undertake a 3-day CAP(Groups) training and embrace the CAP Commitments. To extend their own learning, they support the delivery of EPIA and POPIA learning events as Practice Partners for new participants. They also commit to only running P6 Constellation group sessions in partnership with other CAPs. Full details are made available to those wishing to progress.
CAP(Associate Supervisor & Associate Trainer)
Those progressing to this advanced training take on the fusion of both practice and theory as well as embracing the CAP Commitments. They support the delivery of CAP(1-1) and CAP(Groups) learning events as Practice Partners. In addition, they shadow and contribute to the delivery of EPIA and POPIA learning events alongside the Lead Trainer.
Community Accepted Practitioner (CAP) Commitments
To be recognised as a PIA CAP in our Community-in-Practice (CiP), you will need to:
- Be active members of the CiP
- Annually participate in at least 2 CiP gatherings
- Participate fully in the relevant CAP learning event
- Engage in self-reflection and peer-reviewed case conversations with fellow Community Accepted Practitioners
