Chapter Two: STORYTELLING and CATHARSIS

Order the book that inspired the podcast, Language of the Soul: How Story Became the Means by which We Transform at dominickdomingo.com/books"Take your broken heart—make it into art." —Carrie Fisher, actress.  In this episode—fifth in this season's exploration of the Language of the Soul book—we explore the mechanics of catharsis. From the moment Aristotle coined the term to assign cultural value to the arts in the face of fascism, the catharsis art provides has transformed us emotionally, while shifting our thought forms and paradigms. The cleansing is threefold: the creative process serves as purgation for the artist, then vicariously for the patron. And as always, through the ripple effect, society evolves in kind. Order the LOTS book at Dominick's Author PageWe would love to hear from you! Send US a text message.
