What to expect from this blog…
Welcome to the Storycatcher blog!
This is going to be fun—as there is no shortage of stories in the world!
This is going to be emotional—as story has the power to open and close our hearts on the power of words alone.
This is going to be inspirational—because story is the source of how we discover our interconnectedness to others and the world around us.
This is going to be informative—because story is how we remember, how we discover, how we make our way.
My name is Christina Baldwin and I’m a Storycatcher—a person in awe of story—just about any story. I believe we make our world through the stories we recite to ourselves, the stories we tell each other, and the stories we decide to live out together. To change any of this—our selves, our relationships, our communities—we first need to change the story that binds us into a story that releases us. This blog is a place for catching stories and exploring one of the most powerful tools of the human mind.
Come in. We’re glad you’re here.
Hello Christina ,
I have heard you speak as a keynote presenter in Denver at the journal conference in June. I cried after your presentation , your words touched so my heart .
I bought your book the story catcher and I am now writing my story . I have jouranled
for many years and also graduated from Lucia Capacchione program so I do collages and drawings with my left hand to write my story .
Before I met Lucia I participated for almost three years to a spiritual group led by Paul Ferrini . We worked with circles as the core practice , their community called their circle Affinity Group . I became facilitator and did these groups even over the phone on a conference call so people from all over the world called .
Because of my story and my core wound I am attracted to to community building , circles
art expression to share the story .
It is the first time a participate in a blog , so I will take some time to look through…
Thank you for inspiring me and reminding me what I love to do most to write my story.
