Dear Reader,
Welcome to this profoundly diverse collection of papers from Greece, Hong Kong, Australia, USA and Denmark.
These range:
— from practice based explorations about stories of the body … to narrative practice in the new media age
— from work within an Aboriginal community context in Australia … to explorations of Colombian magical realism
— from work with people with an intellectual disability in Hong Kong … to creativity research in Denmark
— from considerations of contemplation and creative solitude … to narrative responses to dreams and spiritual experiences during times of grief.
Narrative practitioners continue to expand the boundaries of the field in vibrant and creative ways!
As always, we look forward to your feedback.
Warm regards,
Cheryl White
