 Christina Baldwin and Ann Linnea
The Circle Way
with Christina Baldwin and Ann Linnea, Co-founders, PeerSpirit Inc.

Christina Baldwin is a writer and seminar presenter of 30+ years experience. She has contributed two classic books to the exploration of journal writing, including the well-known classic, Life's Companion, Journal Writing as a Spiritual Practice, revised and reissued in 2007 after 100,000 original sales. This work led her to a long study of personal growth and group dynamics and as a result of that experience she wrote Calling the Circle, the First and Future Culture to explore how social container releases needed wisdom. In recognition of the requirement for increased spirituality, she wrote, The Seven Whispers, Spiritual Practice for Times Like These. Her most recent book, Storycatcher, Making Sense of our Lives through the Power and Practice of Story, reminds readers of the necessity of story to communicate in all areas of professional and personal life.

Christina holds a B.A. in English with honors and Phi Beta Kappa from Macalester College, and a M.S. in Educational Psychology from Columbia Pacific University. She currently lives on an island near Seattle, WA, from which she travels extensively to lecture, teach, and call people and organizations into conversations of heart, meaning, and activism.

Ann Linnea is a writer and educator with decades of experience serving the art of dialogue in a fascinating range of settings. Whether she's guiding people on a wilderness quest or presenting a workshop to business leaders, Ann embodies the stewardship of wild things, which has characterized her life and work.  She began her writing career in Utah, authoring hiking and skiing guides during her years as U.S. Forest Service naturalist in the 1970's. In 1991, Ann co-authored the award-winning Teaching Kids to Love the Earth. In 1992, she designed her own mid-life rite of passage and became the first woman to circumnavigate Lake Superior by sea kayak (an 1,800 mile journey). Deep Water Passage, A Spiritual Journey at Mid-Life, describes this journey, portraying her extraordinary physical courage and even more extraordinary spiritual trial and transformation. In 2002 she worked with a local environmental education organization to publish A Journey Through the Maxwelton Watershed. In 2010 she co-authored The Circle Way: A Leader in Every Chair with Christina Baldwin as a legacy contribution to two decades of pioneering circle work. Also out in 2010 is her full color Keepers of the Trees—A Guide to Re-Greening North America, the result of decades of devotion to making natural history accessible to the ordinary person.

In 1994, Ann and Christina co-founded their educational company, PeerSpirit, Inc. Ann has keynoted at the University of Minnesota, "Bonds between Women and Water," conference; the University of Wisconsin, opening convocation; and the National Park Service, Alaska Regional Conference. She has worked with numerous healthcare and education institutions, non-profits, and religious communities. When replenishing herself at home she enjoys gardening, hiking, kayaking, and bicycling. She has two grown children and one adorable grandson.
