     September 23, 2024 - December 2, 2024
     4:00 pm - 5:30 pm

    with Poh Lin Lee

    Bi-weekly Monday Consultation Group: Sept 23, October 7 & 21, November 4 & 18, December 2.
    • 4:00 - 5:30 pm EST (*please note a 1-hour time change starting November 3rd for EST):
    What happens when we shift from viewing our bodies as a single entity to experiencing them as a community of diverse members, each with their own experience, position, and stories? This consultation group is for people who are interested in centering post-structural, narrative practice, intersectional feminisms, and community ideas in accompanying individuals, couples, families, and communities in conversations that are inclusive of bodies. Following many requests, Poh will offer a consultation group in a slightly different format. Six bi-weekly sessions from September 23rd through December 9th will feature a live conversation with Poh and a group member centering multi-storied bodies practices/ideas. Fellow group members will be invited into particular witnessing exercises/positions, drawing on multi-storied body ideas. The hope is to stitch together some of the many exercises and ideas we have explored in previous groups and workshops and consider together what it means to grapple and move in dedicated co-research within an unfolding conversation. Frankie Hanman-Siegersma (they/them) will join the consultation group as a special guest and facilitate the discussion and unpacking of the live interviews.

    Layout of each session

    • 45min conversation between group member and Poh
    • 30min group discussion

    Padlet will be available as a pin-up board for noting and sharing any emerging ideas, questions, observations, or associations sparked by the consultation group and staying connected between consultations. 

    Sessions will only be recorded when requested by the group member who is being interviewed.

Introducing Poh

Poh Lin Lee is a Chinese Malaysian Australian woman who comes to her practice through multiple experiences and relationships as a narrative therapy practitioner, social worker, co-researcher of trauma/displacement, writer, teacher, film protagonist and creative consultant.

Since 2004 Poh has been engaged in therapeutic co-research with people and communities responding to themes of experience such as family and state violence, displacement (from rights, land, home, body, identity, relationships), liminality and reclaiming practices of staying with experience and preference. Creative and therapeutic fields intersected for Poh whilst working with people seeking asylum within a film project with director Gabrielle Brady, Island of the Hungry Ghosts (2018).

Frankie Hanman-Siegersma (they/them) is a descendent of Dutch, British and Irish settlers, living on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung land in narrm (Melbourne, Australia). Frankie is a narrative therapy practitioner within a peer-led LGBTIQ+ suicide support service, and with folks whose lives have been shaped by the effects of transphobia, homophobia, racism, and other structural inequalities. Frankie is interested in the movement of neoliberal, individualistic therapy towards activism, and collective liberation. They enjoy facilitating opportunities for ritual, poetry, music, and pop culture in their work alongside community members.
