About this event
This workshop is not adding new tools to an old toolbox, but re-imagining the toolbox itself.
It is an invitation to explore the subtle art of opening spaces where new worlds of being become possible. This workshop introduces an approach to therapeutic practice that moves beyond traditional methods, creating fertile ground where transformation can naturally emerge.
Together, we’ll explore how narrative practices and the creative arts can create powerful spaces for client discovery. This isn’t about adding more techniques —it’s about cultivating a way of being that invites clients into new possibilities for their lives.
Drawing from narrative therapy, autobiographical exploration, and transformative learning, this workshop offers:
Ways to hold space where clients can safely reauthor their stories
New approaches to help clients discover their own wisdom
Practices that honor the complexity of human experience
Methods for staying present open and authentic in your therapeutic work
Opportunities to reflect on your own narrative as a practitioner
Learning Objective Participants Can Expect From This Event
- Begin to discover that to be the practitioner is to be ‘a clearing’
- Begin to understand ‘being’ not as as existing nor as the opposite of doing, but as ‘living life as possibility’
- Begin to be aware that the greatness in practicing is not in knowing more but in ‘escaping our thrownness’
Who is This Workshop Appropriate For?
- This gathering welcomes psychologists, therapists, counselors, and coaches interested in deepening their practice through the arts and thepower of story. We’ll learn together in a collaborative environment where your experience and insights contribute to our collective understanding.
- Join us in this exploration of how we might better accompany our clients on their journeys toward meaningful change.
How May This Workshop Impact Your Practice?
- This workshop doesn’t just add techniques to your professional repertoire—it has the potential to fundamentally shift how you engage with clients and understand your role in the therapeutic relationship…Long term, perhaps the most significant impact comes in how you show up as a practitioner. Participants typically experience a shift from “doing therapy” to creating spaces where transformation becomes possible through authentic presence and creative attunement.
