Storied Conversations
This workshop explores the ways in which we can listen, hear
and elicit stories. We cover presentation of ourselves as
a story, ways in which we offer alternate stories and the
value of the witness. For decades I have worked with youth-at-risk, people who have
experienced trauma and in mental health centres, learn the skills to facilitate storied
conversations.
Life Story
Our lives can be seen as a series of stories. Together we
can develop past events/memories into good tales for the telling.
We will create a supportive development and telling environment.
We will explore appropriate metaphors and cultural tales to
embed our story.
Storytelling, Drama and Robotics
For 5 years I have been coaching youth and teens in robotics clubs to communicate, form a team based on joint core values, develop strategy and design. Basically learn communication via the arts.
