Come to McCoCo 2019
Four Day Residential:
Thursday 2 May 6 pm to Monday 6 May 3 pm
At the 20th anniversary of McCoCo in 2018 Janpieter Hoogma stepped down as organiser.
... a BIG thank-you from us to Janpieter for his energy, enthusiasm and focus which helped this event to thrive until now.
So many people wanted the annual event to continue that several people have formed the new organisers’ team: the event is well supported and has sound financial backing.
We all love coming to the beautiful venue at Wiston Lodge for this annual co-counselling residential, and we hope you’ll join us in spring next year to co-create another great experience together.
We are delighted to offer the McCoCo 2019 residential workshop. We are offering this exciting, international, supportive and beautiful space from Thursday evening 2 May to Monday 6 May. This will be the 22nd McCoCo residential workshop. The Monday is a Bank Holiday for everyone in the UK.
We have booked again the wonderful venue 45 miles south of Edinburgh called Wiston Lodge. It is a magnificent 19th century former hunting lodge, set in 52 acres of beautiful grounds, including much woodland and streams. There are several spaces suitable for different kinds of workshops including a hall for dancing and a big room for the opening circles. For more pictures of the venue, click here.
The workshop program will follow the same format as many other co-counselling residentials,: a structure will be offered within which the participants will co-create the programme each day. Anyone can offer a co-counselling workshop or ask for a topic group, massage, music, meditation or indeed any activity that makes your heart sing. As well as participating in workshops and support groups or simply having co-counselling sessions you can choose to enjoy dancing, chatting with people from overseas in front of a log fire, walking in the lovely grounds or up the nearby Tinto hill etc.On the final evening we often have a ceilidh (informal cabaret).
Are you hesitating? New to Co-Counselling?
We extend an especially warm welcome to Co-Counsellors who have recently completed Core Training Fundamentals or who have not been to an event like this before. This event provides an opportunity for you to meet Co-Counsellors from throughout the UK and beyond. We will offer a workshop at the beginning of the workshop to help eveyone settle in to the event.
Feeling rusty...?
No problem, the only requirements for having sessions is to be able
- to give your free, aware caring attention to your client
- to refuse to enter into a session contract or to give a suggestion if you don't want to
- to keep confidentiality
If you are able to do this, you will very quickly remember again what you have learnt earlier in Co-Counselling, especially when you experience the support, freedom and encouragement that McCoCo has on offer.
Staying with a co-counsellor before of after McCoCo
We can possibly offer accommodation with Co-Counsellors in Edinburgh or the local region.
