September, 2017 Collab Salon: Re-uniting Generations – Anna Silnitskaya & Maria Tiunova (Moscow, Russia)

The Great Terror repressions in Russia in the thirties of the previous century took lives of many people, destroyed families, created the atmosphere of shame, fear and helplessness in the society. Two generations later, we are still tracing the signs of the Great Terror in our lives - fear of authorities, fear of standing out, screaming silence around attempts to discuss those events. As insiders and narrative practitioners, we decided to make the first step towards preferred family stories, towards speaking out, towards reuniting with our ancestors. We hosted a meeting for those whose families were, like ours, affected by Stalin repressions. We relied on the narrative means of working with trauma, outsider witness practices and created a collective document in the end. This meeting became a meaningful event in the participants lives, and we would like to continue and share this work.

Extending the Histories of Narrative Practice: Creating Spaces for Emerging Approaches

Narrative practices have evolved in many ways over the decades in response to changing professional, social and cultural contexts. The founders of the Narrative Therapy approach, the late Michael White and David Epston, gave voice to the hope and intention that we would continue to try out different modes of inquiry, come up with new practices, and integrate these cherished ways of being with people that fit with our own local experiences and socio-political contexts. This two-day workshop builds on our deep respect for the evolution of Narrative Therapy while creating spaces for an interplay with other treasured approaches. Please join Lynne Rosen, David Paré and Ian Percy as they honor their narrative roots while bringing together EMDR, somatic-oriented therapies, mindfulness practices and the storylines of our lives.

March, 2017 Collab Salon – From Craft to Art: Apprenticeship in the Artistry of Narrative Practice

Have you ever yearned to study the art of narrative therapy by following in the footsteps of a master? Tom Carlson and Kay Ingamells have both had the privilege of turning their craft into art under the supervision of David Epston and are now teaching others to do the same. We begin by travelling to the heart and the spirit of the practice through the study of case stories. We then move to a sentence by sentence study of transcripts of practice in which the details of questions and question practices are distinguished, examined and taught. In this salon, Tom and Kay will demonstrate these apprenticeship practices using a case-story and a transcript.
