Dear anybody interested, might you wish to become a BNIM trainer? If not, don't bother to read on if you do, then you might want to consider a plan which myself and Deborah Rodriguez currently co-tutoring the five-day training sessions with me have as a possibility. Our next BNIM five-day training intensive is in April 2018. You will have received a flyer earlier today about this. Prue and I are planning to spend the next year, and possibly the next two years, mostly at our cottage in France. Since it takes two co-tutors to run the bnim five-day intensive, this might well mean that there will be no such intensive between April 2018 and May 2020, when I hope to celebrate my 80th birthday, Brexit-willing. *If possible, however, we would like to continue to provide two or 35-day BNIM trainings during those two years and afterwards. But, for that, we need another BNIM co-tutor [with access to a domestic or institutional space where the six trainees +2 co-tutors can work effectively].* *If you are interested in exploring further the idea of becoming such a BNIM trainer/cotutor, and if you have already had some experience in using both BNIM interviewing and BNIM case-interpretation methodology , then we invite you to consider doing the following:* 1. *Updating yourself by joining in the April 2018 5-day course as currently organised, experiencing the five-day course both as a trainee but also as an auto-ethnographer concerned to see how the training works (or doesn't?). A sort of trainee-observer. (April 19th - 25th).* 2. *Staying in London for one day longer (Thursday 26th April) for a sustained discussion among actual and would-be co-tutors of key issues around the running of BNIM trainings.* I should stress that there is no special need for future BNIM trainings to occur in London. They happen to have been in the past, because they could be held around the table in our kitchen in North London. It would be probably quite a good idea – though maybe it would slightly discourage trainees coming from abroad – for it to be held somewhere else. Clearly this would be subject to agreement between the two co-tutors, as would the financial arrangements surrounding the gross income per training of normally [£825 x6 = just under £5000) minus net expenses]. *So, if the thought becoming a BNIM trainer at all appeals to you, do write in and let us know of your interest. * *Best wishes* *Tom* P.S. you may be interested in running shorter training courses, shorter than that of the default five-days. Over the last 20 years, I run courses ranging from half a day to one day to 2 days on BNIM-interviewing and/or BNIM case-interpretation. The April 2018 (five-days +1) format could also be used by people interested in these possibilities. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the BIOGRAPHIC-NARRATIVE-BNIM list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=BIOGRAPHIC-NARRATIVE-BNIM&A=1
