Consultation Group with Poh Lin Lee
6 weekly Wednesday sessions: January 10 – February 14, 2024

What happens when we shift from viewing our bodies as a single entity to experiencing our bodies as a community of diverse members each with their own experience, position and stories? This consultation group is for folx 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.
Over 6 weekly sessions the invitation will be to engage with the *recent article written on this theme and unpack the ideas within each participant’s practice contexts. This group intends to place the gaze on the relationship between the ideas and specific considerations of context looking closely at practice.

Influence of power and discourse on relational exchange and possibilities
Positioning: Co-research and accompaniment
