CIIS Public Programs & Performances is an extension of the California Institute of Integral Studies, a nonprofit university dedicated to personal and social transformation. The mission of CIIS Public Programs & Performances is to uplift and engage San Francisco Bay Area communities by offering a global showcase of performing arts and educational events. Our performances celebrate cultural diversity by presenting traditional and contemporary artists from around the world. Our lectures by leading scholars and authors provide a platform for exploring new perspectives about oneself and society. Our workshops and certificate programs, taught by leaders in their respective fields, encourage personal discovery, spiritual inquiry, and professional development.
This fall we are excited to host pioneering neurobiologist Dr. Daniel Siegel, internationally renowned author Isabel Allende, and the soul-stirring Creole Choir of Cuba, among other distinguished presenters and artists. We invite you to browse through our calendar of events to see our full range of offerings.
And in spring 2012, we are proud to launch a brand new certificate program titled Mindfulness and Compassion in Psychotherapy. This eight-month program features leaders in the research, practice, and applications of mindfulness and compassion to the field of psychotherapy. Our respected roster of instructors includes Sylvia Boorstein, Rob Fisher, Eugene Cash, Rick Hanson, Manuela Mischke Reeds, among others. Please see our website for application and Open House details.
Join us this fall!
