Exploring Resilience with Ted Bowman
Sat 24 Sep 2016 to Sat 24 Sep 2016
Exploring Resilience with Ted Bowman using Literary Resources, Writing and Stories: for working creatively or therapeutically with groups, individuals and the self
Suitable for professional and/or personal use.  

Saturday, 24th September 2016, The Friends Adult Education Centre, Brighton
10.30am - 4.30pm   

In this experiential session, participants will explore metaphors of resilience with the intention of promoting resiliency for themselves and others. Through writing experiences, sharing and discussion, participants will extend their resources for doing therapeutic work.

Stories evoke stories. We story and re-story all our lives. Ted Bowman will use story-gathering questions, writing prompts, vignettes from memoir, poetry and fiction to promote the caring exchange when working one to one or facilitating groups. 

Ted Bowman is a family and grief educator who uses stories and literary resources in his workshops, teaching, consultation and writing. He is an adjunct professor in the University of Saint Thomas School of Social Work in St. Paul, Minnesota, his home town. 

Ted is the author of three books and editor of two poetry collections. He has written over 25 articles in professional journals, and over 50 articles and poems in other journals and newspapers. This will be his 20th consecutive year of work in the UK with organisations including Lapidus: The Writing for Wellbeing Organisation and Cruse.
