The Center for Creative Inquiry launches their first winter term of classes on February 13 
 

The Center for Creative Inquiry (CCI) is excited to launch their first-ever winter term offerings of workshops and classes which help people explore and engage in the richness of the human experience. The (CCI) is committed to discovering the hidden depths within daily experience - the extraordinary within the ordinary. Courses aim to identify and challenge basic assumptions that limit knowing and ways of experiencing. With a methodology that cuts across disciplines, the CCI approach is interactive, experiential, cooperative, engaged and helpful for anyone who wants to learn to ask new questions in new ways. It's also just plain fun, stimulating, surprising, and always new.

 

Creative inquiry is a multidimensional way of thinking to find out who we are and what makes us tick. Through active communities of inquiry, the teachings strive to channel a new understanding into people's lives and the social structures of the culture we inhabit.
