The CCI sign language of CCI session ingredients is now available. (click here) This version is the result of a back to the CCI basic weekend early in June this year at Donkerbroek (the Netherlands). As reported in CCI World News Service, the participants of this 'refreshing' weekend came from different parts of the globe. So came Masako from Japan and I invited her to translate the CCI session ingredients in her original language. And here is the result! We celebrate that with thanks for her input!

It also is the title of a little booklet (123 pages, almost half A5 size, about 10,5x17,5 cm, published in Great Britain 2010 by www.lulu.com, copyright by Personal Transformation) as an introduction to (CCI) co-counselling (ISBN 978-1-4457-4752-1).

It is a handsome booklet and in several – if not most – and sometimes more personal approaches and wordings, this information can nowadays already be found on internet.

In my personal welcome in reply to the open letter of Dror to members of CCI, I refer to the fact that some of the (European) CCI members in 2006 were shocked. Because for them, suddenly, participants showed up at this European CCI meeting, without being accredited (by themselves and supported by others) after their CCI fundamentals.
