Themes that will be covered in the conference include: Open Dialogue, Working with Trauma, Psychosis, Working within a Recovery House creating a Framework that works, Storytelling that heals. Sexual Abuse; does narrative working offer a way forward for victims and their families? Can Psychiatry and Spirituality ever work together?

The second book by Lewis Mehl-Madrona and Barbara Mainguy is called Remapping Your Mind: The Neuroscience of Self-Transformation through Story will also be launched.
The speakers bring with them a wealth of experience of working alongside clients that have not responded to mainstream interventions. A mixture of short presentations combined with discussions, conversations, and workshops designed to give delegates time not just to hear from our speakers but also explore in greater detail the ideas behind how the speakers are putting these ideas into practice this is a conference not to be missed.

Barbara Mainguy will be doing a pre-conference workshop on Creative Embodied Narratives on 12 May 2017
Join us for a one-day workshop to work with embodied story.
We are made by the stories we carry. Stories can rest deep in our body/mind. Though we may not be verbalizing them, they are surely being told in the way we are in the world and in the way we feel. Some stories can be unspoken for years and can feel like they will always be unspeakable. Some stories may lie so deeply they feel as though they are written in our bones and have always been a part of us. Some stories feel so familiar we think we will never be able to rewrite their truth. Creative arts approaches help us to locate and work with those stories in a container of metaphor and creativity. We use collage, mask, movement, drama, paint, sand, clay etc. to work intuitively and creatively in a supportive environment to find new perspectives on old stories, and to discover and transform those stories that may feel hidden and indeed may be unknown to us.
Barbara Mainguy is a Creative Arts Therapist who has worked in an integrative psychiatric practice with her husband Lewis Mehl-Madrona. Co-author of Remapping Your Mind, Barbara uses multi-modal creative arts to help people find their hidden storylines.
