Re-authoring the World

Welcome to the self-discovery module called Re-authoring the World!

What is it about? We will discover and learn how:

• To work with taken-for-granted ideas and beliefs
• What we take for granted in our societies are created, supported and sustained
• To work with the influence of taken-for-granted beliefs and ideas
• Taken for-granted ideas and beliefs shape and maintain our world
• Our acts of refusal and protest bring the gift of the alternative
• To give the competing alternative narratives an opportunity in a world that says: “This is just the way it is!”

How will we learn?

In this self-discovery journey we learn through the moments of our own lives in ways that seeks to ignite the beauty and dignity of all who participates.

Book a coaching session: If you would like to have a conversation about any of the practices or beliefs and ideas in the Self-Discovery Course, you are welcome to book a coaching session.

And there is more: This self-discovery journey is one in a series of five journeys that can be attended as a whole or separately. These journeys address the most important themes of re-authoring ideas and practices. These self-discovery journeys are designed to be stand-alone experiences of learning. If you are interested in integrating the re-authoring ideas and practices into your life and work, you can also take part in an apprentice journey.

You can invite me to adapt and/or facilitate this self-discovery process for your organisation or community.

Acknowledgements: Although the majority of the translated ideas and practices that I use in my work firmly stands on the shoulders of Narrative Therapy, my re-authoring practice has also been infused by Peter Block’s community work (2008), Gervase Bushe and Bob Marshak’s Dialogic Organizational Development (2015), Jeff Zimmerman’s (2018) interpersonal neurobiology, Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht’s (2004, 2014) writings on meaning and presence, many conversations with my colleagues, Tom Carlson (2015-2017), Griet Bouwen and Marianne Schapmans (2015-2018) and my beloved country, South Africa.
