Kairos and Narrative Facilitation

 

We're always looking to find innovative and gripping examples of TLA in action, and Stephanie Sandmeyer in Portland, OR is doing exactly that.  Working with families to create audio snapshots and oral histories, Stephanie works to make sure wisdom isn't lost in the hustle and bustle of contemporary life.  She employs what she calls "narrative facilitation," which utilizes the foundations of TLA work by incorporating tools for the exploration and preservation of individual and family stories. These tools include the recording of oral histories, on-site archiving, workshops and memoir/biography consultation.
