Episode Summary
In Episode 21, master storyteller William J. Hornyak kicks-off our third season of the How Humans Work Podcast on The Nature of Stress. Will shows us how both stories and storytelling have power and medicine inside of them to aid us in our times of stress.
At the outset of this show we learn how the craft of storytelling came into Will’s life and what he discovered about stories and their telling: to trust in his love of story to carry the moment. Further, we hear from this master of lore how images and moments in a story are condensed source of energy which can awaken the depths of our psyche.
Gradually we find ourselves hearing Will spin not one, not two, but three different stories which all have something to teach us about how stories and storytelling can transform the way we look at the world, including our adversities. In the tales and the telling we gather a greater understanding of not just how humans work, but how the magic of stories can help us be wiser, more imaginative and prepared to meet life’s ordeals.
You’re heartily invited to listen-in to this one, because with Will and his beloved friends (Biddy Early, Finn McCool and Scheherazade) we adventure into the land where lore, magic, and medicine meet.
