Center for Creative Inquiry extends its gratitude to GlobalGiving and the helpful, consistent support of the donors we have been connected to here. While we still have a ways to go in meeting our goal, we see the commitment in both our in-person and online community to promote our wish in developing an educational guidebook and educator's manual designed to equip educators with the insights and practical tools to bring Nowhere into classrooms.
We have had some exciting developments over in Berkeley, CA! We took part in Downtown Berkeley's Bay Area Book Festival, with CCI taking this opportunity to host a soft launch of its new space on Harold Way, setting up tables that it shared with its sister organization, Mangalam Press. Jack Petranker, senior teacher at CCI, led two 20 minute full presence mindfulness sessions during the festival, opening CCI’s doors to the public for the first time. More than two dozen people attended each session.
The interest expressed by community members and newcomers of all ages confirmed that CCI could offer the Berkeley community a thriving space for exploring mindfulness, full presence, and creativity. We are excited to take what we have learned from the Book Festival and apply it to our offerings going forward.
