  • Suicide from A Magical Realist Perspective: Incarnated Stories from the Colombian Amazons
     October 27, 2025
     4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
     Zoom (Link TBA)

    • How might we unlearn to listen monolingually (in one or more languages) to stories of life and death beyond eurocentric conceptualizations of suicide and prevention and toward a pluriversality?
    • How can we understand and respond to ‘suicide’ otherwise when learning from communities for whom the word suicide and the physiological and anatomical body do not exist, like the indigenized communities from the Colombian Amazons including the Tikuna?

Workshop Brief Description

I intend to introduce the perspectives of the Critical Studies Network on the medicalized, criminalized, and moralized perspective to suicide in therapy from a magical realist lens. I will share experiences of decolonial healing from indigenized communities from the Colombian Amazons. This is an invitation to therapists to a conversation on therapy and suicide, in relation to life and death liberation that steers away from an anti-psychiatry stance or dismantling and deconstructive proposals, engaging instead epistemic humility and pluriversality.  An option to think, sense, listen, and engage with life and death otherwise will be at the center of the discussion.
