Customized Small Group Training Opportunities!
Are you wishing to become a more skilled narrative practitioner? Do you yearn to consult closely with seasoned practitioners to develop specific applications for your narrative practice further? Are you drawn to the idea of working in a small, global consultation group? A group can form as a follow-up to a particular workshop, as a guide through an otherwise self-paced online course, or as independent customized consultation opportunities by members of our training team honing in on specific skill development. Get in touch with us here if you have any ideas for groups you’d like to be part of.
Being part of this consultation group, with gentle invitations to expeditions of my bodies, my imagines and understand further urgencies of care, needs, resonances, things to express, of the collective, in others, in me. I felt immediate possibilities to apply these findings and ideas to my current practices. The guidance of Poh and her offerings transcend the multilayering of spoken languages, sending invitations, questions.. building creative bridges to see, to be seen, to hear and be heard.
iSaAc Espinoza Hidrobo , Artist / trans activistThe multi-storied body consultation group was a place where curiosity, sharing, dialogue, and co-research were headed in new directions. It was a place where the exploration of the landscape of action opened new possibilities. It was a place where the question of “what is possible to know?” was articulated again from a different perspective and in new directions.
Yiannis Kafkas, Narrative Practitioner, PhotographerMy experience with the multi-storied bodies consultation group can be described as expansive, playful, tender, moving, and novel. Poh offered a generous and hospitable space that was both grounding and uplifting all at once, allowing each of us within an international community to co-research with radical care and unapologetic curiosity. This group became a safe passage to re-appear, re-engage, and re-imagine our relationships with not only members of our physical bodies, but also our bodies of knowledge, spirituality, ancestry, music, movement, poetry, and more. The experience enriched my politics and practices both personally and professionally.
