The (un)Summit: Wisdom In Action
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
San Francisco, CA – July 23, 2025 – New Ventures West, a global leader in Integral Coaching and professional development, announces the (un)Summit: Wisdom in Action, a groundbreaking five-day virtual gathering featuring renowned thought leaders Dr. Bayo Akomolafe, John J. Prendergast, Diana Chapman, Minna Salami, and Jessica Dibb. Taking place October 20-24, 2025, this transformative event pioneers a new model for virtual learning that moves beyond traditional conferences to create lasting personal and professional transformation.
Unlike conventional speaker-focused events, the (un)Summit integrates world-class luminaries with New Ventures West’s proven Integral Coaching methodology through an innovative three-part format: thought leaders share cutting-edge insights, NVW’s expert leaders guide collective inquiry, and participants engage in hands-on integration sessions designed to anchor learning into real-world application.
“At New Ventures West, we believe that adult development is most powerful when it is lived, not just learned,” said Sahar Azarabadi, Managing Partner of New Ventures West. “The (un)Summit is our invitation to step into a new way of being, one that is deeply present, connected, and capable of meaningful impact.”
Each day offers two interactive 2.5-hour sessions: morning (8:00-10:30 AM PT) and evening (3:30-6:00 PM PT), allowing global participation. Attendees can choose one or both sessions daily, with each featuring unique content and teachings. The event welcomes coaches, business leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, and change-makers committed to leading with wisdom and compassion.
Drawing on nearly four decades of Integral Coaching expertise and thousands of trained graduates worldwide, New Ventures West will guide participants through aligning cognitive, emotional, somatic, relational, and spiritual intelligences. Attendees leave with practical tools, sustainable integration practices, and expanded networks of like-minded professionals.
Registration is now open with Super Early Bird pricing available through July 31, 2025, followed by Early Bird pricing through August 16. Multiple access levels, General, Digital, and Premium, ensure accessibility for diverse participants globally.
Additional renowned speakers will be announced soon.
