On this week’s LoudenClear ComfortCast, I’m speaking with activist, author and wisewoman Christina Baldwin about her award-winning book, StoryCatcher.
Do you love stories? A good storyteller can keep you spellbound for hours on end… Christina and I talk about how the power of story can come alive in the U.S. culture again. Listen to the podcast….
P.S. Even though the Inner Organizer is based on the calendar – and yes, the year is half over (can you believe it?!) but, it’s SOOO much more than a calendar…it truly is an engagement calendar with your soul. Click here to scoop up your copy.

Hello Jennifer,
I listened to your podcast and visited Ms. Baldwin’s web site. She is an inspiring person. I was particularly impressed by her story of the South African tribe. Our Western society is so much away from that “primitive” way of thinking, and into an ever growing disciplinary, high-tech structure that reproduces violence and criminality.
Our society is also far away from the storytelling process. It relies so much on TV and cinema and song writers for its entertainment.And what kind of entertainment this is! Guided, prefabricated, clonated.
It is also worth thinking of the concept of entertainment in our times: it is no longer the “education of the soul” that the Ancient Greek “psychagogia” ment, when the great poems of antiquity were creating their stories that we still admire.
Let us think that the great epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey were narrated down through generations of people, before being put to writing. Just think about it: so many people involved, so much human experience, art, heart and soul.
So, the Storycatcher idea is definitively a work worth studying, and a process worth following.
Thank you Jennifer for bringing it to our attention in such a sweet way, introducing us to this special writer.
