Catherine Ann Jones holds a graduate degree in Depth Psychology and Archetypal Mythology from Pacifica Graduate Institute where she has also taught. After playing major roles in over fifty plays, she became disappointed by the lack of good roles for women and wrote a play, On the Edge, about Virginia Woolf and her struggle with madness in a world gone mad, i.e., WWII. The play won a National Endowment for the Arts Award. Ten of her plays, including Calamity Jane (both play and musical) and The Women of Cedar Creek, have won multiple awards and are produced both in and out of New York. Her films include The Christmas Wife (Jason Robards and Julie Harris), Unlikely Angel (Dolly Parton), and the popular TV series, Touched by an Angel. A Fulbright Research Scholar to India studying shamanism, she has taught at The New School University, University of Southern California, and the Esalen and the Omega Institutes. Ms. Jones is often invited as a keynote speaker to various writing conferences and also the Merrill & Lynch sponsored Women, Wealth, & Wisdom Conferences. Her book, The Way of Story: the Craft & Soul of writing, is used in many schools, including New York University writing programs. Based in Ojai she leads The Way of Story and Heal Your Self with Writing workshops throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia.
