Deepening Journey
Welcome to the next Journey!
Introduction
There are three journeys that invite you into the Re-authoring the World’s lens and practices which build on one another:
1. Exploring the Landscape
2. Practicing the Art and Craft and
3. Applications in the Field.
In the first journey we explored the landscape of the narrative reauthoring lens and practices that gave you a first taste and experience of the possibilities of this work over the course of 6 themes. Most of you have also started applying these ideas and practices in your life and work. But for some of you, this is not enough, you want to go deeper! The second journey, focuses on the practices of the re-authoring lens which will assist in developing one’s craft in this work. The third journey will focus on specific areas and fields of application of the re-authoring lens and practices that would also include the design of processes and the developing of projects.
The Deepening Journey: Practicing the art and craft
Participants who have completed the Exploring the Landscape Apprentice Path in the introduction journey are welcome to join the Deepening Journey. The second journey, focuses on the practices of the re-authoring lens which will assist in developing one’s craft in this work.
In the Deepening Journey, we will practice the art and craft of narrative re-authoring ideas in 6 workshops. This journey will be much like practicing your scales in music, we will make mistakes and try again and in the end we will each have our own unique sounding practice and craft applied in the diverse fields that we call our work.
This journey consists of 6 workshops where the first two days will be spent in practicing the art and craft of re-authoring work around a particular practice. During the 3-hour group integration session or one and a half hour individual integration session, there would be an opportunity to step on the stage and make your practice visible so that we can also learn from you. The coaching sessions will help participants to weave their own life- and work experiences into their future re-authoring practice.
