The supervisor and the shared story: A creative exploration of narrative constructions.
Through the act of sharing our stories, we create order in a chaotic world, ultimately asking: When does it matter that I am I, and what is that asking of me. Drawing on philosophy and narrative research, we move beyond simply listening to our supervisee toward witnessing, co-creating, and birthing new narratives. We will explore moments where our unique presence as supervisor and supervisee matters most. Participants will engage in creative exercises-from poetry to visual metaphors—to examine the natural affinity with narrative construction.
