Upcoming Events & Trainings
Registration is open for the following narrative trainings and programs. CEUs are available.
Folx Tales: Weaving Stories of Resistance
Date and Time: Friday, May 30, 2025, 10am to 5pm ET
Location: online via Zoom
Join us for Folx Tales, a day of collective resistance to dehumanization, marginalization, and objectification, grounded in the Narrative Worldview. Through relational listening practices rooted in curiosity, humility, accountability, and attuned witnessing, we’ll explore how to stand with those seeking dignity, justice, and care. This year’s gathering centers on sharing and witnessing often-unseen stories of Resistance — the quiet, powerful acts that rise in response to oppression. Together, we hope to link lives and imagine the kind of world we want to build and protect.
Narrative Therapy in Practice
Date and Time: Friday and Saturday, June 6 and 7, 2025, 10am to 5pm ET
Location: online via Zoom
Instructors: With Suzanne Gazzolo, PhD and Matt Mooney, PhD
Registration Fee: $280 or $255 when registrant has completed NTI's "What is Narrative Therapy?"
This two-day training is for people wanting to learn how narrative therapy ideas are put into practice in therapeutic settings. In particular, we explore externalizing practices and skills in the context of deconstructing and re-authoring therapy conversations. Clinical examples and experiential exercises will help support participants’ learning. Participants can expect to learn how narrative practitioners work to help people separate their lives from problems and identify new steps they can take that fit with their hopes and values.
Linking Therapists’ Lives Through Shared Practice:
A Narrative Consultation Group
Date and Time: September 9, 2025, through May 27, 2026, twice monthly on Wednesdays from 12pm to 1:30pm ET
Location: online via Zoom
Instructors: With Suzanne Gazzolo, PhD and Matt Mooney, PhD
Registration Fee: $2,000
This narrative practice group is for therapy practitioners interested in furthering their relationship with the Narrative Worldview and building community around shared values and purposes. We are excited to offer a program with a focus on presenting and witnessing each other's work. We ask that you have completed a year-long narrative training program or an equivalent prior to participation.
Matt and Suzanne were inspired to offer this program after over 10 years of weekly learning and consulting together with other colleagues committed to developing skills and relationships aligned with the Narrative Worldview.

This year-long Narrative Certificate Program is for people interested in developing a rigorous personal understanding of the Narrative Worldview and its social justice ethics and practices. The goal of this course is to help participants establish a solid foundation for their narrative practitioner identity and preferred ways of helping. Drawing from participants' personal and professional lived experiences, the course emphasizes a peer experiential-learning philosophy and community-building orientation.
