Don't miss Dr. Raviraj Shetty on March 7th! This will be our last workshop this season, and this one will be incredible! Here's the link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/foraging-for-stories-walking-alongside-communities-tickets-1015664037477?aff=erelexpmlt

In his workshop, Dr. Shetty will talk to us about their community work in India, which has traditionally been driven by experts with institutional training who believe that communities don’t know any better about their own health, rights, or dreams. Our history of colonization by European oppressors, casteist control over knowledge production, and industrial-medical complex subjugating lived experiences promote interventions that rob people of agency and locate problems in our rich practices of life.
​
In this workshop, Raviraj will share practices of centering community knowledge in training and interventions informed by everyday living practices to hold space to practice agency over their language, bodies, and dreams. He will demonstrate this through stories of partnership with a group of Indigenous women and youth from rural India who are developing community-led mental health interventions for their own people.

What can we learn from nature and its relationship to therapy? Dr. Raviraj Shetty will discuss this with us at our next Narrative Therapy workshop on March 7th!

Using the metaphor of the mycelium network, the mushrooms, and foragers, Raviraj will offer reflections on the symbiotic enmeshment of stories and communities and on the stance as trainers ‘walking alongside’ with communities as foragers of preferred stories of know how’s and histories of people’s movements that are always present under the oppressive stories and always pop-out in people’s everyday lives in undetermined ways like the masutake mushrooms in a human ruined forests.
