Brimming with over 270 short courses, our 2010–2011 calendar is literally drenched with opportunities!

This year we welcome Tibetan Buddhist, Reginald A. Ray ( Mar 25-26-27), world renowned poet-philosopher, David Whyte (May 6 & 7), author/poet/philosopher, Mark Nepo (June 3-4), and depth psychologist, author and wilderness guide, Bill Plotkin (July 12 and July 13-17). The work of these elegant and masterful cultural agents transcends normally exclusive learning realms to offer visionary models of human development toward a deeply imaginative lifestream of vocation and leadership.

NEW this year - in addition to our popular professional and applied certificate programs in: Management and Leadership Skills, Professional and Applied Communications Skills, and Eco-Literacy, is the Carbon and Energy Leadership Certificate created in response to our changing world. It includes 9 comprehensive and experiential short, non-credit modules designed to build awareness and broaden understanding and development of carbon and energy leadership in terms of: influencing change and leading environmental action; leading adaption and mitigation strategies; green energy; and understanding climate change and the value of sustainability through the lens of carbon economics and financing. Take a stand alone course or complete the entire certificate in a flexible timeframe.

Effective July 1, 2010 GST and PST were replaced with a harmonized tax, HST. Any courses that are considered pre-requisites to higher learning or are admissions requirements at RRU, or any of the Professional Development, The Arts and/or Green Learning courses that help to fulfill a certificate, will be tax exempt. All other courses will be subject to applicable taxes.

Watch for your copy of our calendar in the Times Colonist on September 10th or email us and we’ll gladly send you one.

This year, we hope to cultivate the kinds of courageous conversations that encourage the uniqueness of each one of us to become more ourselves in service to the whole, in a willingness to continue living our learning! We hope you’ll join us.
