2025 Online* Book Discussion Group
Storycatcher: Making Sense of Our Lives through the Power and Practice of Story
* I am also hosting an in person group at Willow Oak Center for Arts & Learning in Springfield, TN. Details here.
Discover the Power of Story to Transform and Connect
Stories are everywhere, waiting to be discovered—in our daily lives, memories, and dreams. They shape how we understand ourselves, connect with others, and make sense of the world.
Explore the art of storycatching with Christina Baldwin’s Storycatcher: Making Sense of Our Lives through the Power and Practice of Story in a year-long online interactive book discussion group.
Join me for an inspiring year of storytelling and reflection, where we’ll uncover the wisdom and meaning in our personal narratives. In Storycatcher: Making Sense of Our Lives through the Power and Practice of Story, Christina Baldwin invites us to explore the art of storycatching. We will learn to listen with "the ear in the heart" to uncover the wisdom and meaning embedded in our personal narratives. This isn’t about writing fiction or memoir but about connecting to the stories that shape our lives and relationships.
Together, we’ll explore how story connects us, how it transforms experience into wisdom, and how it can heal family heritage through generations. We’ll also reflect on how story influences our spiritual lives, helping us discover our place in the order of things.
What You’ll Experience:
The Art of Storycatching: Learn to listen deeply and uncover the personal stories waiting to be told.
Why We Make Story: Discover how stories help us transform experiences into wisdom and meaning.
Writing in the Seven Generations: Explore how storytelling connects us across time, heals family heritage, and shapes legacy.
How Story Shapes the Spiritual Dimension of Life: Reflect on how stories illuminate your values, spirituality, and purpose.
Through prompts, reflections, and group sharing, we’ll explore how storytelling can connect us, transform our understanding of life, and guide us toward healing and clarity.
