Ten Years of Creative Inquiry January 2010
 
CCI Center Greetings!

I am glad to share with you our sense of real accomplishment as we reach the end of CCI's first decade. We have plenty to celebrate. The annual CCI Consciousness Conference is the leading event of its kind in the field.  TSK Online Programs are expanding, and there are two TSK retreats planned for this year. We have a new home in Berkeley's Mangalam Centers (see photo), and we will be offering more Berkeley events in the future, including some brand new programs. As you can see from the calendar below we have a busy year planned.

Please accept our good wishes for the coming year and decade. May knowledge and creativity benefit us all.
