daily programs

Besides early morning activities there was a wide range of workshop items available at the CCI international meeting in the USA (April 12-17). Like a 12 steps meetings and meditations. And after the daily breakfast, lunch and dinner, there were the daily opening circles – facilitated by different persons- and the daily 'next day program-meeting' in the afternoon, the daily meeting of the  support groups – each of about 6 persons – .

After registration and settling in on Tuesday, with the help of members of the 'welcoming committee', there was a 'newcomers meeting' facilitated by Dency Sargent (USA) and Joke Stassen (the Netherlands). Some 10 'newcomers' got information about the in- and outs of this kind of meeting so they could feel themselves more easily at home.
After dinner (good food) there were evening offers like the impressive  dance and fun night offered by Markus and Jeanette from Germany on Wednesday night. They got  their whole audience busy in co-creating  an unbelievable peace of music together! Next day evening was a 'rise up singing along' offer by Jullie and Susanne, a 'safe group touch' offer by Skip and an offer to follow 'a dvd-crash course' by Cathy. Friday evening was the already scheduled 'talent show' in which the participants proved their ability to perform their personal capacities supported by the validating free attention of their audience. Saturday evening, after a 'silent-' and 'live auction' ($ 2.400 for the benefit of CCI-USA activities) there was the usual 'Dance'.
The 'real work' of this gathering, attending the workshop/topic group offer of your choice for that time slot, or work in pairs on whatever you personally want to work on, started Wednesday afternoon.
