ISI-CNV, based in Nice, is the point at which CAIRN touched the south of France. Five catalogued sources record it.
What the sources show
The member-status list of the surviving regulations records ISI-CNV under France (Italy), with Marco Paret as EXE/FO for NLPIII, hypnotherapy and quantum psychology (CAIRN-2008-MOU). The 2009 partner page names the ISI-CNV Institute in Nice among CAIRN's affiliated institutions and describes it as a training institute in NLP psychotherapy and hypnotherapy in the south of France (CAIRN-2009-VALCROS).
The Avalon / Verdon material names the Valcros Raven Retreat of 2008–2009 in connection with William René Leon, Tibetan and Mongolian teachers and Dr. Marco Paret, and describes escorted journeys of fourteen to twenty-one days to Keltic and Cathar sites in South France (CAIRN-2012-AVALON).
In December 2013 Leon wrote to Paret of rebooting the Professional Doctorate School, with research and development for 2014 and limited annual training events in the Nice area, with Paret as partner (MAIL-2013-12-30-REBOOT).
Nice within the network
Across the whole catalogued corpus, from the draft statutes of 2005–06 to the correspondence of 2013, Nice is the consortium's reference point in the western Mediterranean. It is the seat named for ISI-CNV in the regulations, the city named on the partner site, and the place proposed for the training events of the 2014 programme. The Tibetan and Keltic lines of CAIRN reached Europe through it.
