Registration for Collecting Crumbs of Wisdom: Narrative Practice and Parenting

As three mothers shared voice messages in the cracks of their day, Akansha was in the thick of it, caring for two children under two years old, sleep-deprived with a baby on her breast, while Peggy was accompanying her grandchild to visit a college campus. Poh had just finished making school lunches and trying to remember if the kids had fed the guinea pigs. Each of us experienced growing excitement as we worked together, envisioning a workshop devoted to parenting guided by principles that hold the most meaning for us in our personal narrative journey, conveying the labors of parenting across the lifespan and in our diverse contexts. We envision positioning ourselves not as ‘knowers’ but as those who experience parenting from the inside out, continually learning from our experiences as we go.
