Family Dialogue
Linda Ellinor
What happens when a dialogue practitioner stops facilitating others and turns the lens on her own family? Linda Ellinor, co-founder of the Academy of Participatory Democracy and author of 'Dialogue: Rediscover the Transforming Power of Conversation', records a dialogue session conducted within her own family system.
Linda Ellinor brings decades of dialogue practice to one of the most challenging containers imaginable: the family. As a co-founder of AofPD and a practitioner whose work has shaped the field internationally, Ellinor is well placed to test dialogue's principles where roles, history, and emotional charge run deepest. This recording documents that session, offering a rare window into what dialogue looks like when the facilitator is also a participant, when the relationships predate the practice, and when the stakes are personal rather than organisational. The result is a resource that illuminates both the possibilities and the pressures of bringing dialogue home.
