Contribute HERE: https://throne.com/language_of_the_soulWhat happens when the world breaks your heart and everything you thought you knew crumbles around you? In this deeply personal conversation, Dominick Domingo steps away from his hosting role to discuss mythic fiction novel "The Seeker" with his sister, humanities professor René Urbanovich. Their discussion unveils the powerful transformation story at the heart of this ancient myth-inspired tale set in Bronze Age Minoan culture.Inspired by Dominick's own brush with death during the pandemic, "The Seeker" follows Amitayus, a young man scouring the Greek isles for his missing mother, Dianora. Unbeknownst to him, she is a Goddess, rendering him a demigod unaware of his divine heritage. What begins as a physical journey becomes an internal odyssey of rediscovering one's true essence—a journey we all share. As René and Dominick explore the novel's themes, they reveal how the protagonist’s struggles with despair, disillusionment, futility and self-loathing mirror our own cycles of transformation.Pick up 'The SEEKER' as an audiobook on  AudibleOr in print and Ebook (Epub, Nook Kindle) format on AmazonGuest Host BIO: Rene Urbanovich is a leading voice and Creativity instructor in the Los Angeles area, having coached singers from television, film and the Broadway stage.
