The Talking War: Book One - into the Inner Lands of Story by Mike Stillwell At the edge of an inland sea, where stories breathe and old myths whisper, stands the Redoubt-part ruin, part sanctuary. From here, the Therapist Hospitallers set out to heal fractured tales in the Inner Lands of Story, hoping to change the world through symbolic transformation. In this opening volume, a traveller arrives at the Redoubt and begins a journey through landscapes shaped by broken narratives and inner truths. Guided by wise figures like Assagioli and watched from above by Jung's drifting airship, he steps into a world where healing stories might heal souls. Drawing on depth psychology, allegory, and surreal adventure, The Talking War invites readers into a mythic world just one step from our own-where the war for meaning is still being fought, one story at a time.
