IN THE BEGINNING: CREATION MYTHS FROM AROUND THE WORLD is a beautifully illustrated and informative collection of creation stories from 15 cultures, using indigenous sources. These stories demonstrate that creation is ongoing, everywhere and always, and that all of us are creators all of the time. This engaging book of images and stories is ultimately about creativity in all its forms. Originally an exhibition, IN THE BEGINNING has appeared in museums, galleries, churches, and schools in several U.S. cities. An audio version of the book, in which the myths are read by Amy Walker, is available from Findhorn Press.

I love to write and I love to dance, and I use both as vehicles for my work as a healer. Improvisation is what I teach, and as every moment seems to bring unbidden opportunities from the universe, every day of my life is filled with beauty and surprise. Ecstatic experience is the goal of my work, and I see ecstasy as the ultimate healer of all, from the personal to the cosmic.

Over the years I have:

given birth to three children;

been a midwife in India;

sung in a Gospel choir;

started a farm;

taught my technique of dance healing;

started a hunger organization, Daily Bread;

built a strawbale house;

written 11 books on matter and spirit and

been married to the same man for 50 years.

I feel I am here to help make the transition from a materialistic culture to a culture that recognizes that we are all connected with each other, with the earth and with the cosmos. I live in Berkeley, California with my husband and have 4 grandchildren.

You can read my ongoing "Notes on the passing scene" on Carolyn's Personal News blog at www.carolynnorthbooks.com/news and can check out all my books, including excerpts from each of them, on Carolyn's Books on the website.

The latest are SERIOUS FUN: Ingenious Improvisations on Money, Food, Waste, Water and Home and its sequel WORLDSHIFT HAPPENS: Facing Down the Fear, Waking Up the Mind. They both address the realities of our time with deep seriousness, humor, personal stories and suggestions of how to keep on keeping on.

TW

An Enriching Consciousness Journey for People of All Ages

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2010

Verified Purchase

The conversation between these two profound artists quickly becomes an enlightening celebration of the creative experience. Words and pictures complement and inform each other vibrantly as they visit primordial depths of Source, retelling myths in a way that inspires a reshaping of our awareness of this wondrous world we, too, are creating.

Taking this enchanting and powerful ride through Greece, Egypt, China, India, Africa and beyond with Mayans, Wiccans, Iroquois and more was hypnotizing, humorous, heartwarming and made me feel glad to be alive!
