Engage in an in-depth look at leading edge ideas

and approaches in one Sagience program area: mind, body, brain, or spirit. The Module Program provides in depth learning about the program area of greatest interest to you.

Program Sessions

Participate in a 3 or 4 week program that focuses in depth on the Sagience program area that you choose. Engage in weekly 90-minute program sessions, which involve presentation, discussion, exercises, and Q&A. Mind, body, and brain modules involve four sessions; the spirit module three sessions. Participate live in sessions by telephone, listen live on the internet, or listen to session recordings at your convenience. The sessions are taught by Dr. Catherine Fitzgerald, President of Sagience, LLC and by guest presenters who are recognized experts.

Resource Library

Explore a private, Web-based Resource Library, which contains Power Point slides and an annotated bibliography for each session, as well as assessments, articles, and book chapters. The Library also contains a series of Sagience Insights (proprietary reports that distill information from key books and other sources) and Sagience Research Reviews (proprietary research summaries about critical topics).

Application Groups

Participate in a small group of peers that meets weekly for 60 minutes throughout your module. Discuss program topics in more depth, share resources and experiences, and get support for changes that you want to make. Each group has a skilled facilitator to help participants deepen their understanding of the program material and develop practical strategies for taking action.

Module Application Groups meet at a variety of times. Sign up for the group that best suits your schedule. A list of groups and their meeting times will be emailed to all participants following registration.

Special Sessions and Special Interest Groups

The Sagience program is designed to be a live and engaged learning community. To enhance learning and customize the program to your interests, we will offer Special Sessions (one-time presentations by an expert) and Special Interest Groups (facilitated, multi-session discussion groups). The topics for these events will be based on interests expressed by participants.

Examples of Special Sessions from a past program include a session on a leading-edge assessment of complexity of mind in leaders and a session focused on case examples of the use of SPECT brain scans. Examples of Special Interest Groups from a past program include a group focused on implementing the UltraSimple Diet (M. Hyman, 2007) and a group focused on using Sagience program material in coaching practice.
