CCI Ireland 11th-17th August 2025

The 2025 European CCI will be on the island of Ireland at the beautiful Corrymeela Community Centre. The CCI theme is 'Reconciliation' and we invite you to join us in this unique venue on the stunning coast of Northern Ireland. The Corrymeela Community Centre was founded in 1965 to provide a space where all sides of the conflict in Northern Ireland could meet and work towards reconciliation. That is still the reason that the centre exists and the community played an active role in the Peace Process. This fundamental philosophy is expressed in the buildings, in the meditation room, in the design of the gardens and in its scenic location looking out to Scotland over the sea.

This area of Northern Ireland, part of the ancient kingdom of Dál Riada, has many interesting and beautiful places to visit including the Giant’s Causeway, Rathlin Island, Ballycastle town and the beautiful Murloch Bay where scenes from Game of Thrones were filmed. On your way home, you could take a tour of the famous Bushmills Distillery.

About the workshop

All CCI co-counsellors are invited to 6 days of co-counselling, workshops, dance, music, fun, games and much more, including art in a dedicated and well-equipped studio. There is accommodation for up to 85 people in a variety of rooms - single, twin and triple. The venue is fully accessible with a small number of wheelchair-appropriate bedrooms. Vegetarian, vegan and special diets can be catered. Please note that the venue does not allow alcohol or non-medical drugs. Come and recharge yourself, be part of community, meet other co-counsellors and grow together.

The CCI is created by all participants - anyone can offer a workshop and the daily programme will be decided each morning in the opening circle. Everyone will have the opportunity to join a support group - a small group that will meet at the same time each day to provide a 'home' in the busyness of a large event. All CCI co-counsellors are welcome whether it’s your first or your fortieth CCI residential.

Pricing

As the venue is in Northern Ireland, all prices are in £ sterling. A limited number of discounts is available based on much you can afford to pay. We also invite donations to support co-counsellors with fewer resources.

Deposit for all types of room is £200 and the balance must be paid by 1st June 2025

Unfortunately there are no facilities for camping as the venue insurance cannot cover camping on the site.

Bookings open 1st August at 12:00 Ireland/UK time, 13:00 European Time. If there is demand, we may be able to arrange a coach from Belfast International Airport to Corrymeela.

Questions: cci2025ireland@gmail.com

Good Life (part 1): A six-week CoCo Skills+ course for co-counsellors that starts in May 2024.

Do you have a stubborn pattern that seems to be difficult to budge?
Do you want to explore further your emotional world beyond your regular sessions?
Do you want to deepen your co-counselling skills for yourself and others?

Good Life is a holistic CoCo course where you will be able to explore deeper layers within yourself through expressing your feelings and being in touch with your body. You will explore with existing and new tools deeper layers within yourself, through your feelings and your body. You could also call it personal development.

You can free yourself from deeper and often still unconscious patterns. Patterns that you actually know keep hindering you from living freely.In whatever situation you may find yourself in, you will enjoy the benefits of this course for the rest of your life.
As a co-counsellor, you will build on your interpersonal skills and expand your intuition and empathy for humanity.
If you are interested, you might also discover that there’s more ‘between heaven and earth’.
This course will enable you to expand and learn more about yourself and others.
Working together we will ensure that the ‘hard work’ and ‘good feeling’ will enrich our life experiences.

Dates 14 May, 21 May, 28 May, 4 June, 11 June, 18 June.

(Part 2 takes place in the autumn and builds on what we have explored in Part 1).

Time 18.30 – 21.00 BST (GMT+1)

Online, with possibilities to join other community events

Early bird rate until April 30, 2024

Rim, Marcus and Floriane

My name is Rim and I am a member of the Paris Cercle d'Ecoute Mutuelle. In coordination with the German CCI, we would like to invite you to a meeting beyond the borders of language.
We are sending you this email because you are one of the 44 people present at the CCI who speak several languages. In total, 18 languages were represented at the CCI this year. This is a precious thing for an international collective, and we want to emphasise it even more.
We also believe it is necessary to create a more inclusive IAB for people whose first language is not English. Let's experience linguistic diversity together, as part of our commitment to listening to each other! To this end, we invite you to a CCI egalitarian practice meeting (co-counselling) per zoom. Egalolingualism means that no speaker is sidelined because of their lack of command of the language.
This is our goal, and we want to work with you to achieve it. If you have any ideas or suggestions, we'd love to hear from you.

The meeting will consist of an opening circle, reflections, mini-sessions and a closing circle.
We will work in multilingual groups, focusing on emotions rather than content, working non-verbally and using the signs of the invitations that you will find in the attached document. No need to revise, but take a look at it if you wish.
It will be facilitated by Markus and Floriane.

European CCI in Germany

From saturday 13 july to Friday 19 july 2024

Hi lovely co-counsellers,
All CCI co-counsellors are warmly invited to the 2024 European summer event in Germany.

About the event The venue will be in Papenburg, Germany. Information can be found in their flyer in German or English.   Further information can be found here or here.

Registration

Registration for this CCI will be opened on Friday, 29 September 2023 at 14.00 German time. Be quick if you need a single room.
The link will be: https://buytickets.at/cci2024germany/937340 (You can't see the website before that date.)

Mike Root, from the USA, informed us about the following upcomming international event:

CCI  USA Annual Workshop, Tuesday, May 9 - Sunday, May 14, 2023

You are invited to join us for

• CCI-USA's Annual International Workshop
• Date: Tues., May 9 to Sun., May 14  2023
• Location: Wisdom House Retreat Center in Litchfield, Connecticut (www.wisdomhouse.org)
• Theme: Lights, Camera, Life Action!

Please consider joining us! Bursary help is available if money is a concern -- we can also help with local housing and transportation needs before and after the workshop. Two important updates about the workshop:

• We will NO longer require a PCR lab test prior to attendance at the workshop. We still plan to do daily antigen testing (self-administered nasal swabs) prior to and at the workshop. We did that last year, and it went very smoothly -- organizers supplied the tests, and participants simply added that to their morning wake-up routine. For many of us, doing what we can to reduce the risk of transmitting or catching Covid makes deciding to attend CCI much easier -- especially because many of us are looking forward to real hugs, and have no interest in social distancing!

• We'll also be offering Fundamentals Part 1 at the workshop for newcomers to co-counseling! Fundamentals participants will share circles, meals, and some other activities with workshop participants, while learning and practicing Fundamentals in morning and afternoon sessions. Fundamentals spaces are limited -- anyone interested should contact Judy Hartling (judyahartling@gmail.com or 413-454-1585) as soon as possible.

More information about the workshop and Fundamentals class can be downloaded from below. If you have any questions about the workshop, please let Mike Root or Kathryn Bass know.

• Mike Root - CCI-USA Communication Coordinator, rootm0525@gmail.com
• Kathryn Bass - CCI-USA Communication Coordinator, kataroobass@gmail.com

If you're ready to register, you can use this Google form to register online, or you can mail in the paper form attached.

(Anyone interested in Fundamentals should contact Judy Hartling before registering -- judyahartling@gmail.com.)

We hope to see you there!
Mike & Kathryn

What is a CCI Workshop?

A CCI Workshop is a multi-day space where the CCI Co-Counseling community comes to connect, celebrate each other, and grow. There will be circles with the entire community from around the world. There will be opportunities to do paired sessions.
There will be 5 to 6 person support groups that meet daily to support each other through Co-Counseling.

There will also be offerings throughout each day called topic groups, which are 90ish minute sessions that may or may not involve Co-Counseling but generally involve personal growth, mind, body, spirit, or community. Some topic groups will be planned in, and others can be offered as the workshop goes along. This is a peer community, and everyone is encouraged to contribute. This results in a co-created organic workshop that evolves as the days go by.
