A Special Year: the 10th Anniversary of Michael White’s Passing
This year will mark the 10th anniversary of Michael White’s death. It’s a time for reflection, as we trace some of Michael’s contributions to our practices and thinking including his careful attention to language, artful question-asking and respectful stance. In 2018, instead of our annual Vermont June workshop and camp, Re-authoring Teaching is partnering with Narrative Initiatives San Diego (NISD) to offer a narrative gathering on Coronado Island, San Diego in March 2018. Building on the legacy of Michael White: A decade of Narrative Developments will will look back and spring forward as we come together to reimagine narrative therapy.
Narrative Gathering on Coronado Island, San Diego: March 28-30, 2018
A Collaborative Venture: Both NISD and Re-Authoring Teaching as non-profits share common missions. Both missions include the commitment to protecting, sharing, and expanding Narrative ideas into the future. However, while NISD’s mission centers more around growing the local community in San Diego, Re-Authoring Teaching’s mission focuses on connecting the broader international community. Themes of Local and Global knowledges are shaping this Gathering.
We hope you will join us as we look back together on the rich history of Michael’s work as well as reflect on the ways we have carried on these past 10 years after the loss of Michael, keeping close to his work and proposing further developments. The Gathering is designed with multiple formats, creating opportunities for many to speak and reflect about their continued work. We imagine coming together as a local community in San Diego and an international global community to consider Michael’s influence on the field and how narrative practices have been developed over the last decade to influence each of us and our respective communities in particular ways. We’re not thinking of this Gathering as a “conference” per se, in the sense of having privileged voices of experts talking and others taking notes. Rather, we offer a context for community learning, for centering and de-centering practices, for layers of multigenerational, diverse conversations that reflect on a variety of topics, personal, local and global.
Please consider joining us.

Parenting and Narrative Practices Group
February 13, 2026 - April 24, 2026
3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Zoom (Link TBA) Following the Collecting Crumbs of Wisdom: Narrative Practice & Parenting workshop, this group is for those who wish to continue to meet in a supportive parenting community, learning with and from each other. As facilitators, Akansha, Poh, and Peggy will not position themselves as experts, but rather as guides through experiential exercises and facilitators of intentional conversations. Together, we will engage with narrative ideas and practices to enrich our stories—interviewing one another, co-researching our relationships with the children in our lives, documenting our practices, and sharing both crumbs of wisdom and the hard-earned lessons learned along the way.
