more of the same?
| 30 January 2012
In my editorial of January 12th (CCI Aotearoa 2012 is over!) I shared my vision on several CCI meetings I attended the last years. And their impact for me. So I shared also my recent vision on CCI (for now), because 'I want to live in peace with my past, my present and my future'. Before I go into two recent reactions of readers, I want to adapt a way of expressing from the Tauhara Retreat Center in New Zealand. They say: ' Tauhara is the expression of an unfolding vision'. And I want to adapt that expression by stating: 'CCI is an expression of an unfolding vision'. And the vision is: 'that CCI is a way of living in peace with the past, the present and the future in a non authoritarian environment, respecting everybody and anything'.
Auckland, January 11 The CCI meeting in the Southern Hemisphere, Aotearoa/New Zealand is over. Mixed feelings are the result at this moment. There was no email contact after arriving the second of January at the venue; 'belonging' was the workshop item and 'death' and 'young life' were for me very acknowledged on the background. Now a week ago there was a funeral at the venue. At this time, a week later, there is a celebration for Dave, a member of the New Zealand CCI community who passed away the night before the closing circle of this international CCI meeting.
This last editorial contribution for CCI World News Service in 2011is dedicated to review some highlights of the content of this website in the ending year. This last contribution is written where the idea to start with an internet CCI newsletter, now 11 years ago, came into reality: in Wellington, New Zealand. After the, at that time common production of a ' daily paper' at the CCI international meeting near the capital of Aotearoa / New Zealand in 2000, I decided that it might be time for a follow up. With thanks to those New Zealanders who helped me to produce that 'daily paper' on internet – and thanks to those CCI-USA members, who offered me their feedback on that experiment. 
Tom Scheff recently published a book called: 'What's Love Got to do with it? Emotions and Relationships in Pop Songs.' In March of this year he published in CCI World News Service several articles about this item. Now he publishes a book about this item by 
times a year by email, and only for CCI co-counselors, publishes last Sunday evening also a contribution about a possible 'relationship' between 'creating' and 'discharging' in CCI co-counseling. This Here and Now internet site was a wonderful personal initiative of a member of a British CCI community. It is a pity that this internet (email) initiative in its original intention will not be continued. Though they announce that some email information (about UK – and possible other - CCI meetings) will be published by internet. Quoting of articles of this closed circulation was only permitted if the author was asked permission to do so, and only in CCI circles. The service has been issued for four years and offered members to communicate about issues of their interests and or showing their creative products as poems, visions in writing, sculptures etc.
