Re-authoring Teaching

What Re-authoring Teaching does

Re-Authoring Teaching is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2008 and incorporated in 2010, headquartered in Cornwall, Vermont, that operates a global learning community dedicated to narrative therapy — a social-constructionist therapeutic approach. The organization is led by founder and Executive Director Peggy Sax, PhD, with governance from a Board of Directors including President Larry Zucker. Its core offering is a training and professional development portfolio built around narrative therapy methodology, comprising self-paced online courses (seven currently available, two in development) approved for APA continuing education credits through Alliant International University, live online and in-person workshops (including Vermont-based workshops and Narrative Camps), the yearlong NextGen Collaboratory series of six bi-monthly gatherings, monthly Collab Salons with a library spanning over nine years, and Guided Consultation Groups with faculty. A public YouTube channel hosts 100+ free videos functioning as top-of-funnel content marketing.

The organization's underlying technology stack is conventional: a WordPress-style website integrated with self-paced course delivery, Zoom for live events, YouTube for free video content, Mailchimp for newsletters, and Facebook/Instagram for community engagement. The proprietary intellectual property is its curriculum, recorded content library, and pedagogical "collaboratory" model — a blend of community, laboratory, and collaborative learning. Notable technical-adjacent components include APA-approved CE credit infrastructure through Alliant, donation processing via Zeffy, and the Collaborative Narrative Network Training Calendar that aggregates partner offerings from Dulwich Centre, SDSU MFT Program, Evanston Family Therapy, Narrative Practices India, and others.

Re-Authoring Teaching monetizes through a tiered membership program (Semester at $30/4 months, Subsidized Annual at $90, Sustaining Annual at $120, Patron Annual at $200, and Patron Lifelong at $1,500 one-time), individual course and workshop fees on a sliding Patron/Sustaining/Subsidized scale, $25 add-on fees for CE credit certificates, and tax-deductible donations. Its primary customers are licensed narrative therapy practitioners, counselors, psychologists, social workers, and marriage and family therapists globally, alongside graduate students in counseling and psychology programs and narrative therapy educators at universities. The organization serves a global audience spanning the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, the U.K., Canada, Belgium, India, Chile, and Singapore, with the Vermont location anchoring occasional in-person workshops.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• PESI: Large, established behavioral health CE provider offering seminars, online courses, and CE credits across many therapeutic modalities. Comparable in delivering CE credit to licensed mental health professionals, but at vastly broader scale and across all modalities rather than a single specialization.
• NICABM: National Institute for the Clinical Application of Behavioral Medicine—online CE and training provider for mental health practitioners. Comparable in audience (licensed clinicians seeking CE) and online delivery, though broader in scope and larger in scale.

Direct peers

• Dulwich Centre: Adelaide-based center founded with Michael White, co-originator of narrative therapy. Core strategic partner that jointly offers the Master of Narrative Therapy and Community Work program and shares faculty across events—the most directly comparable organization.
• Ackerman Institute for the Family: Family therapy training institute offering workshops, certificate programs, and CE-eligible courses to licensed practitioners. Comparable as a specialized therapy training provider serving licensed mental health professionals with continuing education.
• Zur Institute: Online continuing education provider for mental health professionals offering CE-eligible courses across niche topics. Comparable as a smaller, specialized online CE platform targeting licensed therapists.
• IFS Institute: Internal Family Systems training organization offering online courses, workshops, and CE credit for a specific therapeutic modality. Highly comparable operating model—single-modality specialty training with online delivery and practitioner community—though for a different therapeutic framework.
• The Satir Institute: Global training organization for the Satir Model, offering certification, workshops, and online learning to therapists and coaches. Comparable niche-modality training provider with international reach and community-driven programming.
• Taos Institute: PhD program and professional community rooted in social constructionist theory, the philosophical foundation underlying narrative therapy. Many Taos graduates and faculty overlap with Re-Authoring Teaching's community, making it a closely adjacent peer in mission and offerings.
• Narrative Therapy Initiative: Chicago-area training organization offering narrative therapy workshops and courses, featured alongside Re-Authoring Teaching on the Collaborative Narrative Network Training Calendar. Directly comparable niche peer in the same modality.
