'the best' of CCIWNS

invitation to join CCI Europe 2009 in Germany !
Siglind Willms, one of the organisers of the CCI Europe 2009 meeting, writes to CCI World News Service:
'Dear co-counsellors of CCI!
The German organizers' team for the CCI 2009 invites you heartily to visit the workshop in Freckenhorst near Münster. We want to inform you, that going back to a former custom, we 'll have daily one big circle for the whole group in the morning. We are going to work out a schedule, that will be efficient and concentrated, so that this circle will have an adequate duration.
Besides this, we also want to let you know, that we invited members of the Dror community from Israel, to take part in this CCI meeting and continue their process of learning with each other, exchanging ideas and developing the co-counselling method in a good way. Some of us experienced all these things already with members of the Dror community three times and we are looking forward continuing it.
We also want you to know, that there will be no alcohol and no nudity in the workshop. If you have more questions about the workshop, please let us know. We are looking forward meeting many co-counsellors and having a good time together.'

Thanks Siglind for this clear statement. So possible participants do know what the conditions are for coming to the CCI Europe meeting 2009 in Germany.                                   niek (14-11)

According to the CCI practise since 1974, I have always understood that the condition for attending CCI meetings is: ' that I understand and apply the principles of co-counselling (as it

is mentioned since 1996 in 'a definition'); that I have had at least 40 hours training from a member of CCI and that I grasp, in theory and practise, the ideas of pattern, dischar-continue

On request of CCI co-counsellors from the USA, Europe and New Zealand, John Heron is facilitating a two days international workshop just after the every three years CCI international meeting in January 2009 in Aotearoa/ New Zealand. Theme of this workshop is: 'extending the theory and practise of (CCI) co-counselling'. This non residential workshop is open to any active co-counsellor interested in the future of peer self-help whole person development. Accommodation is available at the nearby coastal resort of Orewa, some 45 km north of Auckland at the North Island of New Zealand. To book a place, please send him an email (click) with your phone number. The costs to attend this workshop are minimal.                On the second of this month  continue

a discussion document  John Heron
'This is a discussion document' writes John Heron in his invitation to discuss and publish this writing, 'circulated prior to the workshop on this topic scheduled for 20-21 January 2009 at the South Pacific Centre for Human Inquiry, Auckland, New Zealand.

In 1996 I published two documents within CCI that were relatively independent of each other, based on working with different co-counselling constituencies. The first, 'A Definition of CCI', was, and still is, published on several CCI web sites. It was a conservative update of the original guidelines for CCI published in the first CCI newsletter in 1975.


The second was 'A Little Book of Co-creating', which was the launching version of a much more radical reconstruction of co-counselling. It replaced the terms 'client' and 'counsellor' with 'creator' and 'co-creator' and presented co-creating within a worldview embracing human spirituality and a vision of planetary transformation in terms of a self-generating culture.
I sense that the time has now come to blend these two documents into a pragmatic hybrid of conservative and radical  elements. What is offered below, as a basis for discussion, is a draft redefinition of CCI in a form appropriate both to prevailing CCI structures and usage, continue
