July 2015 Collab: Imagining new possibilities with young people and their families

On July 19 @ 5pm New York Time), Laurie Markham & David Marsten shared reflections on imagining new possibilities with young people and their families. Drawing from their own work as well as their current book project with David Epston, their presentation ignited lively conversation. We had lots of requests for the slides and recording (see below). . THANK YOU! Now, we can hardly wait for Laurie and David to come back in 2016 for Re-authoring Teaching's first official Book Launch: Narrative Therapy in Wonderland with David Marsten, David Epston and Laurie Markham!

May 17, 2015 Collab Salon: Queer Counseling

As featured guest for our May Collab Salon, Charley Lang presented on the topic of Queer Counseling & Narrative Practice. Beginning with three definitions of "queer," he posed questions about how binaries are helpful and not helpful in our lives. Charley brought us through polarities, as expressed through a recent "pulp fiction" art project. Thank you, Charley for this presentation, and for being our Collab Salon co-host. Your keen intelligence, teaching skills and generosity of spirit are so appreciated by all. We look forward to more opportunities to learn from and with you!

April, 2015 Collab Salon: Absent but Implicit

Thank you Maggie Carey for joining us for our April Collab session! Maggie presented on the ‘absent but implicit’ as a response to what has been problematic, and scaffolding this as an action. She also shared some thoughts about possible links between the ‘absent but implicit’ pathway and what is happening in the brain when we ask the questions that we do in using this pathway. Our plan was to show a couple of videos from Maggie's upcoming courses on Rich Story Development; however, we experienced a bit of techno/bandwidth difficulty. I will post the links to these videos below.

Michael White Workshop Notes- Collab Salons

In the December 2015 Collab Salon, Linda Moxley opened a conversation about Recuperating Michael White and re-curiositizing narrative therapy. Sharing her meticulous notes from two of Michael White’s workshops (1991; 2007), Linda evoked Michael’s voice,  rescued the said from the saying, and captured some of his intentions and innovative thinking. She guided us to particularly pay attention to themes, shifts in language and zig-zagging. The January Collab Salon continued this conversation with a focus on bringing Michael’s inspiration forward into the future. These recordings and notes are visible to Collab Salon Members.
