Healing Story Alliance is a not-for-profit, educational, arts organization which provides online resources and concert, workshop, and community programming in support of storytelling as a healing art.
Description
Join us for the next event in the new Healing Story Alliance series where authors are interviewed about their creative writing processes and the healing power of storytelling. Conversations focus on deepening our understanding of the connections between story, storytelling, and healing.
In this session, Lee-Ellen Marvin will interview Christina Baldwin about her book Storycatcher, Making Sense of our Lives through the Power and Practice of Story. Published by New World Library, this book has remained in continuous print for twenty-five years. An accessible, story-based hybrid of memoir and education, full of writing prompts and inspiration, the book has been used by tens of thousands of storycatchers.
Audience participation is encouraged, with opportunities to ask questions and share observations inspired by Christina’s’s work and the interview. This event benefits The Healing Storytelling Alliance, dedicated to promoting healing through the art of storytelling.
