     "Earth Songs"...
providing opportunities to hear our sisters' voices 

 

Sister circles have the option of installing a "storycatcher" within the circle, a sister-friend who records the stories shared during the gathering sessions' conversations.  The Old Wise Woman refers to the conversations about life issues that take place between sisters as "Earth Songs."  She says the songs are as common as the air we breath, and yet, as individual as each flower that grows...together the voices form a chorus that God hears...quite clearly.  And for that reason, each song becomes a matter of great importance.  

 

The storycatcher forms a sub-circle and organizes sessions that instruct other sister-friends within the circle in the skill of rewriting the stories heard.  Through re-writing, reading, listening and sharing, sister-friends discover how the personal narrative is a healing art for both the writer and the reader. The Storycatcher encourages her sister-friends to discover their own voices, to share their story.  We call them "word artists," and each word artist takes special care to honor each story heard.  What sister-friends have to say can be heard and shared through the products produced. 

  

Encouragement Cards

There are times when the greeting cards on the store shelves are simply too generic for the moment. There are sentiments you want to convey and the words are stuck in your heart.  Wise Sister's "word artists" understand.  They've created four collections of cards for sister-friends to share.  Cards with real words for real life situations.  A new line of greeting cards--cards that speak with wit and wisdom about the "stuff" we face today.

"Storytelling is healing.  As we reveal ourselves in story, we become aware of the continuing core of our lives…  We become aware of the multi-faceted, multi-chaptered ' I ' who is the storyteller.  We can trace out the paradoxical and even contradictory versions of ourselves that we create for different occasions, different audiences... Most important, as we become aware of ourselves as storytellers, we realized that what we understand and imagine about ourselves is a story.  And when we know all this, we can use our stories to heal and make ourselves whole." 
                                                                                                                                                                              ~ Susan Wittig Albert   
Wise Sister storycatchers put into words what the female heart wants to say.  Bound by a deep understanding of their sister's experience, the Wise Sisters writing community uses imagination, intelligence and craftsmanship to create distinctive, relevant messages.  From funny to formal to somewhere in between--Wise Sister Word Artists craft those messages with a passion for enhancing the Christian lifestyle (the walk with the Lord), as well as facilitating the relationship we have with sister-friends and family.
