Minutes of the Presidents Meeting in Rennes
We met at PSYNAPSE in Rennes, 31 Aug. - 1 Sept. 2024. This meeting was a milestone in the development of our associations.

For me, the highlight of our meeting was the final hour when the energy, enthusiasm, and joy reached its peak in the room. We all spontaneously stood up and stayed standing for a whole hour together in a circle, sharing our key takeaways and plans for the future.
We are all very grateful to Virginie and Philippe from PSYNAPSE for organizing this groundbreaking meeting. They were terrific hosts.

Our Key Decisions

1. Zoom on 13 Nov. 2024 for Cooperation, Marketing, and Visibility
   Yvonne from Austria is leading our new Social Media Team.
   The Zoom meeting for our 300+ Master Trainers was on 13 Nov. 2024. The focus was on the benefits for our Master Trainers from joining the project of our Social Media Group and everything we discussed at the President's Meeting. Master Trainers will find the link to the recording of the Zoom meeting and the summary in their newsletter from 15. Nov. 2024.


2. Our Master Trainers Meeting is 13 to 14 Sep. 2025 in Berlin
   You will find many details in Moodle "Master Trainers Meeting Berlin 2025" and the newsletter for Master Trainers from 16 Oct. 2024.


3. The website www.We-Evolve.World is the roof of our associations.
   We confirmed that We-Evolve.World is our mission. At our 3 days Master Trainer online meeting in the year 2020, we decided that all our associations are under the roof of www.We-Evolve.World. There, we already listed our World Congresses, all our Master Trainers, with the option to sort them by country, and interviews with Master Trainers. More will come soon.


4. Creating a treasure chest of NLP gifts
   Stephan from Germany will contact all our Master Trainers to ask them what they love to share at our treasure chest at www.We-Evolve.World.


5. We founded the Enneagram World Association EWA
   Bento from Brazil is finalizing the curricula and logo. It will be launched soon.
   We also discussed the options for new associations for Health and AI. For the Association: "Artificial Intelligence Training Institutes (AITI)", we are still waiting for training curricula from Master Trainers.


6. We founded the NLPt World Association NLPt-WA
   Nada from Croatia has offered to support other institutes interested in adopting the NLPt model. NLPt is a global 4 years NLP Therapy standard with academic recognition in Austria and recognized by the European Association for Psychotherapy.


7. Our next World Congress is in Poland 2026
   Alicja from Poland organizes our next World Congress in 2026 in Poland. She is supported by Kamilla and Yvonne. You are very welcome to join and support this group.


8. Influence on Education
   Sarah and Brian from Japan create the next edition of our educational tools. You are very welcome to join this group and provide content. There are already 13 members from 6 countries from 3 continents.


9. Tailored Training for Modern Challenges
   Yvonne from Austria is spearheading efforts to create an innovative new training program that offers solutions for the subjective negative experiences of current challenges of many people of all ages.


10. Writing scientific articles
    Bruce from Great Britain offers support for Master Trainers who want to write scientific articles.


11. Academic Recognition for Master Trainers
    Karl from Germany outlined the possibilities for obtaining doctoral degrees and professorships at Azteca University in Mexico.
    


12. Writing Bestseller Books for Marketing
    Karl from Germany is supporting Master Trainers in writing groundbreaking bestseller books for Marketing. More in Moodle for Master Trainers.


13. SOC Questionnaire for scientific proof of the effectiveness of tarinings
    SOC stands for Sense of Coherence. It is an international questionnaire used in over 30 languages to research the perception of life as being comprehensible, manageable and meaningful. We already implemented this in our first step for German NLP trainings. In 2025, we offer this also for NLP trainings in other languages and, after that, for all trainings from all our associations.


14. Announcement of “World Coaching Day”
    We’ve decided to move forward with announcing our own "World Coaching Day." The idea came from Reza.


15. Associations for ethics and quality assurance
    We intensively discussed the importance of Associations in ensuring ethics and quality assurance. To emphasize the benefits of being part of a community, we could recommend writing on sealed certificates a sentence like: "Congratulations! You are now part of the global movement We-Evolve.World, dedicated to making the world a better place for everyone." The idea came from Darko.

The Zoom meeting for our 300+ Master Trainers is on 13 Nov. at 3 pm CET.

The meeting in Rennes was an incredible enrichment for so many reasons.

1. First and foremost, of course: finally meeting in person the people I previously only knew online. What a celebration to meet these international colleagues with so much competence of mind, heart and hand. Together WE EVOLVE. We all share the DNA of Learning, Change, Communication .... The energy and atmosphere were phenomenal from day one.


2. It was enriching to learn how international colleagues spread their ideas and seminars. From word of mouth to AI supported.


3. I am very happy that I will be able to support Kamilla and Alicja in organizing the World Congress 2026 in Poland.


4. A special enrichment was the roundtable: what we offer in our country for our community and what everyone would like to offer elsewhere. We have such infinite resources and so much to share.


5. I am also very much looking forward to soon presenting WE EVOLVE WORLD more via social media and spreading our impact seeds to the world.

It was wonderful to meet so many amazing presidents and colleagues in Rennes and learn about their seminars and projects.

It was a very open exchange among people who care deeply about NLP and its dissemination for the good of humanity. Beyond the program, there were many opportunities to connect and get to know each other. I had many lovely conversations and learned more about how NLP is trained and shared in other countries.

Philippe and Virginie were wonderful hosts. Everything at Psynapse’s seminar center was arranged for our well-being. It was exciting to see how similar our approaches and ideas are regarding our online platforms. There was also a pleasant exchange with the Psynapse team.

Bento gave a detailed presentation on his work in Brazil. It was eye-opening to see how he engages people in NLP through his seminars and manages to positively influence family members as well, emotionally integrating them into the process.

Brian provided musical entertainment with songs he presented as part of his doctoral work. He shared his valuable work with us. Although I don’t know when I’ll make it to Japan, the idea of visiting him and Sarah there fascinates me and would fulfill a longtime dream of mine.

I had been looking forward to seeing Bruce to immerse myself in his English and learn more about NLP research. I enjoyed listening to him and having conversations with him. It was a great honor to drive him to the seminar center at on day. In the end, he even offered to let us call him anytime to practice English. Wonderful!

When I first started learning NLP, Yvonne was my great hero. I had seen her early advertisements and thought, “One day, I’ll be a great trainer just like her.” It was all the more special to spend time with her in Rennes, laughing and discussing things together.

I could go on endlessly describing my encounters with the unique people who make up this organization. Above all, I take with me the feeling that we are a community of brilliant minds, bringing NLP into the world. My personal inspiration is to look beyond the German-speaking world and see what NLP can achieve globally.

My self-appointed task is to create a treasure chest of NLP gifts. For this, I am reaching out to all master trainers to ask if they have something we can add to this treasure chest. In this way, I hope to create an attractive incentive to join our community.

The meeting in Rennes was an absolutely marvelous experience for me. I returned filled with energy, inspired ideas, and a renewed belief in the power of empathy, mindfulness, and generosity that people around the world still possess.

1. Gratitude to Philippe and Virginie
   Philippe and Virginie were extraordinary hosts. Psynapse’s seminar center was thoughtfully arranged for our well-being and comfort, and I was truly impressed by the advanced technology and platforms the Psynapse team uses.


2. Connecting with Colleagues in Person
   Meeting colleagues in person, whom I had previously only met online, was the highlight for me. It was a joy to connect with friends from around the world and learn from their expertise. Together, we embodied the spirit of WE EVOLVE, founded on Learning, Change, and Communication. The energy and atmosphere were electric from day one, filled with magical moments. Meeting Yvonne and Kamila was an explosion of nearly childlike joy, while connecting with Brian during his PhD presentation and having meaningful conversations with Sarah after many years were inspiring and precious experiences.


3. Part of a Greater Mission
   I felt honored to be part of our vast community and our mission to make a positive impact in the world. "We-Evolve.World" is truly dedicated to helping others, and as a community of trainers and practitioners, our collective skills can uplift each other in meaningful ways. We explored several actionable ideas, including:
   • Leveraging social media to share insights and expand our reach, allowing us to connect with many more people.
   • Using platforms like Amazon to publish our works and support each other by sharing resources—whether it’s books, articles, or blogs. Even small gestures like leaving reviews or ratings can amplify our impact.
   • Organizing the next World Congress in Poland is a challenging yet privileged opportunity, and I am delighted to support the organizing team in any way I can.

This meeting was truly inspiring and demonstrated how we can collectively harness our individual potential to help people evolve and make the world a better, happier place.

It was great to reconnect with familiar faces from past World Congresses and see the WeEvolve concept take shape.

After arriving jetlagged from Japan, the energy of the Rennes meeting quickly revived me.

A key development was the creation of a social media management subgroup, signaling WeEvolve's transition from idea to action.

I was also proud of the commitment to publish two more volumes of Evolving Education in the next year, reaching thousands of teachers through our books: "Tools for Educators"

On a personal note, this meeting was special because it marked the culmination of six years of research into "Magic Moments" — those instances when we feel truly alive. Presenting my PhD findings and learning I had passed UCN's requirements was a highlight. More importantly, it was rewarding to see how the concept resonated with coaches and trainers, as helping others feel more alive is at the heart of our work.

I left Rennes feeling energized and inspired to share my research through books and workshops. Meetings like these, and future World Congresses, are vital for sharing ideas and advancing our field.

I was honoured and happy to be a part of the meeting in Rennes.

Among the many important topics and points of interest that came up over the two days, there were two things that strongly resonated with me:

1. The commitment of the group to serving the greater good. In other words, being able to use our expertise not only in a way to generate money, but to also recognize that at the foundation of We Evolve, there exists a real and true goal of helping people. With our unique and significant skill sets, we are using NLP to help others live a fulfilling life and thrive.


2. The idea that together as a community, the trainers and practitioners in We Evolve can support each other in many ways.
   Two concrete and doable actions came to the forefront:
   a) Using social media to share ideas and expand our number of followers and reach out to far more people than if we were doing it on our own.
   b) Using platforms such as Amazon to post our publications and actively support each other by sharing materials such as books, texts, or even compiled blogs. On Amazon, we can add short reviews or even something as simple as a star rating that will propel these works out to a wider audience.

Rennes was so much fun.

Psynapse and their team were such wonderful hosts and we were all made to feel so welcome and loved.

My main reason for attending was to pay Yvonne back for "standing her up" in Innsbruck, because I was obsessed with presenting at a philosophy of science conference and had forgotten we were meant to be meeting for lunch.

But seriously the meeting was to discover how we could work together as a collective to help people evolve in a way that can showcase the best of humanity.

My take-away was how different we are as humans, thus when we meet it is so important to listen and really understand what other people are saying. Some people move at a fast pace, others at a slower pace, and there are a host of other variables too which can be different.

I move at a slower pace and enjoy the academic side as well as working one to one with people. I am looking forward to working within IN & ICI. To conduct basic NLP courses in 2025 and build a UK IN & ICI community. I am hoping that I will be able to use these courses as a foundation to train people in the 7Cs model which is a psychology model, however has much in common with many of the practices within NLP. Hopefully too the 2025 NLP courses will be sufficiently attractive that they will allow me to run a 3rd NLP course and begin to build a UK community of IN accredited NLP practitioners.

Not only did I manage to get some runs in, ( a beautiful way of exploring the city), but I also got a free psychotherapy session with Alicja. She suggested I was quite intelligent, had a wicked sense of humour, but was a deeply conflicted soul. 😍

A wonderful 4 days and thank you to Karl and Nandana, and Philippe and Virginie and their staff in particular. ❤️

The meeting in Rennes was an extraordinary experience, bringing together people with shared passions and interests in one place - a truly invaluable gift.

1. First of all, the Opportunity to Connect
   The chance to meet people who share the same passion, interests, and professional life in one place is a huge gift.


2. Meeting in Person
   Meeting in person, sharing smiles and handshakes, discovering that we already know each other despite only meeting online before—it was a great pleasure to see one person connect with another.


3. Sharing Common Interests
   The opportunity to share opinions on our shared field of interests and professional work was like taking a wonderful walk on a summer evening.


4. Ideas, Concepts, and Inspirations
   Seeing what unites us, exploring where we can go next, how to develop the organization, how to influence the world around us, and how to cooperate for the good of others, the planet, and the world, was highly inspiring.


5. Joy, Openness, and Collaborative Conversations
   The event was absolutely brilliant and very inspiring for future cooperation, complete with specific plans and actions for the future.

A wonderful time and meeting. Thanks to Karl & Nandana and of course to Virginie & Philippe from France. Special thanks to Alicja for the opportunity you created.

It's always an honor to be in the presence of people who are so committed to self-knowledge and human evolution.

During our meeting in Rennes, we were able to strengthen the connection between our goals and gained a deeper understanding of how we act to share what we believe in further.
It was extremely valuable to include social media in our discussion, as it is through these platforms that we will grow as a group.
I also had the opportunity to talk about the Treinamento VOCÊ and the steps Brazil is taking towards developing Emotional Capacity, something embraced by all my colleagues.

I want to deeply thank every participant; it was amazing to be with all of you. To everyone, my best 1234.

It was a pleasure to be in Rennes and meet such a diverse group of experts.

I felt 'at home' in our discussions, and I'm grateful for the insights each of us shared.
I enjoyed our conversations about the psychotherapeutic NLP approach that I offer in the Balkans under the name NLPt. NLP's massive potential in the therapeutic field excites me. I am eager to see how we can further develop and apply this approach worldwide.
NLPt is a global, four-year NLP-based therapy training program that leads to the European Certificate for Psychotherapy from the European Association for Psychotherapy and is academically recognized in Austria. The first year is an extended NLP Practitioner training, the second year an extended NLP Master training, followed by two years of intensive psychotherapeutic training.
I love to support everyone who wants to offer this.
Each participant has been a valuable source of learning for me, and I eagerly anticipate further contacts, exchanges, and collaboration. Thanks for your contributions.

I have already shared the knowledge I gained in Rennes with many NLP Master Trainers in Balkan.

NLP and Hypnosis in hospitals and schools.

We are thrilled to share our vision and ambitious project of integrating Hypnosis into the medical field. We are also exploring the synergies between NLP and Hypnosis in education through an evolving education toolbox and a new project for training Educators with international certificates. This initiative is rooted in collaboration, where expertise, innovation, and compassion come together.

What a joy it was to connect with inspiring partners and build a future where these approaches transform practices and enrich lives. Together, we share the core values of learning, change, and communication. The energy and commitment of our community are truly remarkable from the very first interactions.

Drawing inspiration from international initiatives and sharing our resources to create meaningful impact is what drives us. We are excited to contribute to global events and spread these ideas, planting seeds of change wherever needed. Soon, we will invite you to follow this journey on our platforms because we can evolve and make a difference together.

We were delighted to welcome the presidents and ambassadors to Rennes, many of whom traveled long distances.
Their presence fostered an enriching exchange of diverse yet complementary experiences, shared with warmth and openness.

During the event, we identified commonalities in certain approaches while also appreciating the valuable differences in each participant's vision and methods for development. We presented our marketing and communication strategies, including our magazine, which addresses topics such as hypnosis, NLP, personal development, and brief therapies.

A key initiative highlighted was the distribution of free e-learning training through our monthly magazine, which itself is distributed free of charge. We also proposed offering an English version of both the magazine and the training to benefit the broader community.

These days were filled with meaningful discussions, exchange of ideas, and opportunities for collaboration aimed at strengthening the institutes within the Federation. We eagerly look forward to continuing these efforts at the September 2025 meeting in Berlin.

Nous avons été ravis d'accueillir à Rennes les présidents et ambassadeurs qui ont fait se déplacement assez lointain mais qui nous a permis d'échanger dans un partage et une chaleur des expériences et des vécus à la fois très différents et très complémentaires.

Nous avons pu y trouver des similitudes avec certaines approches et des différences enrichissantes dans ce que chacun a exposé par rapport à sa vision et sur un approche du développement. Nous avons pu présenter les opérations marketing et de communication que nous mettons en place et notamment notre magazine dans lequel nous abordons les thèmes de l'hypnose de la PNL du développement personnel et de tout ce qui touche autour des thérapies brèves.

Nous avons aussi pu présenter l'idée de la diffusion de formation gratuite à travers ce magazine mensuel. Car nous le diffusons gratuitement tous les mois une formation en elearning gratuite avec ce magazine qui est luimême diffusé gratuitement. Nous avons aussi proposé de mettre à la disposition de la Communauté une version de ce magazine et de cette formation en anglais.

Ces quelques jours ont été très riches avec beaucoup de points abordés beaucoup d'échanges de vision et des idées de collaboration futur dans le but d'un développement des instituts composant la Fédération. C'est avec impatience que nous attendons la réunion de septembre 2025 à Berlin.
