CHE Salons are held every other week. This the the place to come and find inspiration as you acquaint yourself with CHE's inner and outer workings. On these evenings people who are actively engaged with CHE and guest speakers presence who they are and what they are involved in. The practice is to approach subjects from the perspective of the whole using models of Spiral Dynamics, the Integral Model and Theory U.
Salons are lively gatherings where people engage in 'big talk' – talk that amuses, challenges, amazes, and is sometimes passionately acted upon. From the ancient Greek symposia to Gertrude Stein's famous Paris gatherings, salons have always been the incubator of provocative – at times even dangerous – ideas: the frontiers of cultural change.
—Salons, the Joy of Conversation
CHE Salons usually are a combination of experience and theory. Presenters are people who are experts in their field and who presence a topic that is close to their heart based on their own experience while offering a transcending perspective. They are invited to push their own envelopes with the audience gathered so the evening will bring them new insights as well. Once the presenter has brought the theme to life, the common exploration begins. To be able to tap the collective wisdom and intelligence we practice unusual ways of conducting conversations, like talking to the middle, not reacting on what another has said and working with silence.
The evenings are hosted by people who fulfill roles within CHE NL. They do this in such a way that those present learn while they listen to 'what wants to be said' as the topic discovers more of itself through those who are present. Some Salons are held in English and on the Dutch spoken ones you will always find people ready to translate or speak English for your benefit.

Every two weeks there is a CHE Salon. This is the place to get acquainted, to experience the CHE way of working and thinking, and to gain inspiration. At the salons, the people who are active within the CHE show who they are and what they are doing. At the same time, we practice approaching subjects from the perspective of the whole using models such as Spiral Dynamics, the Integral Model and Theory U.

—Salons, the Joy of Conversation
The CHE salons are places where you can gain new insights and practice with them. Always a combination of experience and theory. The lecturers are knowledgeable people who, from their own experience and transcending perspective, shed light on a subject that is close to their heart. Initiators are invited to explore their own boundaries with the company present, so that the evening also provides them with new insight. When the initiator has brought the theme to life, the joint research starts. In order to tap into the collective wisdom and intelligence, we practice unusual forms of conversation in the salons such as speaking to the center, not responding to each other and working with silence.
The evenings are facilitated by people who fulfill a role at the CHE. They 'host' in such a way that the attendees learn to listen to 'what wants to be said' so that the subject discovers more of itself through the attendees.
The agenda for the salons in 2018:.
