Storycatcher

by Christina Baldwin

Storytelling – both oral tradition and written word – is the foundation of being human. In this powerful book, Christina Baldwin, one of the visionaries who started the personal writing movement, explores the vital necessity of re-creating a sacred common ground for each other’s stories.

Each chapter in Storycatcher – Making Sense of Our Lives through the Power and Practice of Story, is carried by a fascinating narrative – about people, family, or community – intertwined with practical instruction about the nature of story, how it works, and how we can practice it in our lives.

Whether exploring the personal stories revealed in our private journals, the stories of family legacy, the underlying stories that drive our organizations, or the stories that define our personal identity, Christina’s book encourages us all to become storycatchers – and shows us how new stories lay the framework for a new world.
