Stacy Horn grew up on Long Island, got a B.F.A. from Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, and a graduate degree from the Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU. She was once a telecommunications analyst for the Mobil Corporation.She is a writer and just finished her seventh book titled The Killing Fields of East New York: The First Subprime Mortgage Scandal, a White-Collar Crime Spree, and the Collapse of an American Neighborhood. The book is scheduled to be released in January of 2025.In 1990 she founded a New York City-based online service (aka social network) called Echo. Echo is an online community filled with people who log in everyday to talk about whatever—work, love, how hard life can be, and what's on TV (my favorite obsession). Horn stopped doing anything to promote Echo years ago, but is glad it's managed to survive. In between writing and research, TV, and the occasional movie or book, she loves talking to people on Echo.In her spare time, Horn sings with the Choral Society of Grace Church, and drums in a band called Manhattan Samba (but only very rarely these days). And, enjoys raising and spending time with her pet cats.Website stacyhorn.comBooks Unbelievable: Investigations into Ghosts, Poltergeists, Telepathy, and Other Unseen Phenomena from the Duke Parapsychology Laboratory.

Ever Dream of Tapping Your Way to A Pain-Free Life? Dr. Larry Burk M.D., C.E.H.P. believes we can Let Magic Happen- By Tapping Our Way to a Pain Free Life. Does that sound like a dream come true to you? His use of EFT includes working with symbolic grief-related illnesses such as sinusitis, post-nasal drip in conjunction with After-Death Communication using imagery and dreamwork. He now combines dreamwork with tapping and hypnosis in his coaching practice, focusing on healing the shadow issues of the lower 4 chakras. He is the Nautilus award-winning author of Dreams That Can Save Your Life and Let Magic Happen. Larry gives talks, seminars, and leads retreats on the techniques and the Power of Tapping. On The Dreaming Healing show, watch as Larry shares his tapping wisdom with us, such as how and why our emotions manifest as emotional pain and how we can heal ourselves using his tapping techniques. Dr. Larry Burk says, “My very first tapping experience was with a Duke student whose hives after a car accident cleared in one EFT session.” Guest Bio: Dr. Larry Burk M.D., C.E.H.P.- Larry’s story begins in his hometown at the University of Pittsburgh where he did his medical school and radiology residency training… “There I got in on the ground floor of MRI just as it began to flourish in 1985. Personal experience pushed me to pursue research in MRI of the shoulder at Thomas Jefferson University after doing a musculoskeletal fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania, eventually leading to the first study of MRI in professional baseball players with the Philadelphia Phillies. Then, I was unexpectedly launched into a multifaceted adventure into holistic healing in 1987. The next stop on my journey was private practice in Virginia Beach where I was introduced to the Edgar Cayce material and medical intuition. This caused a significant paradigm shift in my worldview. In 1993 I moved to Durham, home of my alma mater, Duke University, and the Rhine Research Center, formerly the Duke Parapsychology Laboratory. I took a job as section head of musculoskeletal radiology at Duke and pursued parapsychology research in intuitive diagnosis, eventually becoming a founding member of the American Board of Scientific Medical Intuition and Rhine board president for a year. I started the Mind-Body Medicine Study Group. The deaths of a friend and my father led me into the world of dreams and shamanic journeying. I co-founded the Duke Center for Integrative Medicine in 1999 and then began to practice acupuncture, hypnosis, and dreamwork at various clinics at Duke. In 2002 I was introduced to EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) and became a Certified Energy Health Practitioner through the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology in 2010 and was certified in hypnosis by the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis in 2011. I published Let Magic Happen: Adventures in Healing with a Holistic Radiologist in 2012. Health-related dreams inspired me to publish a research paper in 2015 on women who had warning dreams about their breast cancers before diagnosis. I gave a TEDx talk on Cancer Warning Dreams that Can Save Your Life in 2016. My use of EFT includes working with symbolic grief-related illnesses such as sinusitis, post-nasal drip in conjunction with After-Death Communication using imagery and dreamwork. Please join me on the next step of the journey by reading my book about Dreams That Can Save Your Life. My dream research continues at the Duke Breast Imaging Center. I now combine dreamwork with tapping and hypnosis in my coaching practice with a focus on healing the shadow issues of the lower 4 chakras.” https://www.letmagichappen.com/ Video Version: https://youtu.be/Nd9NoQ17CEw Call in and Chat with Kat during Live Show with Video Stream: Call 646-558-8656 ID: 8836953587 press #.  To Ask a Question press *9 to raise your hand Have a Question for the Show?

What if the intro song to Cheers wasn’t about a bar, but instead about an online community where everyone knows your name? That’s what Stacy Horn created when she launched Echo, an online community that sought to connect New Yorkers. But Echo wasn’t Stacy’s first go at creating a community. While studying at NYU’s ITP (Interactive Telecommunications Program), she was working in the telecommunications department at Mobil and had an idea to connect employees and improve processes by way of an internal community. The community failed but throughout this conversation, Stacy’s learnings from this first experience come up over and over again: the importance of actively seeking out a diversity of voices and experiences to be represented in your community, having a clear intention and set of community guidelines, and creating a space for the best in people. Today, Echo is nearly 30 years old. Its archives are on record with the New York Historical Society and the historians that look back on its conversations will be in for treat. In fact, it’ll be like they stumbled into a neighborhood bar full of people that have been chatting with each other for years. Stacy also shares: Why she failed when it came to starting an internal community for Mobil’s employees The costs and infrastructure behind Echo, including an NYC street excavation How she made Echo an inclusive space for women Echo as an archive to pivotal moments in NYC’s history, including 9/11 Our Podcast is Made Possible By… If you enjoy our show, please know that it’s only possible with the generous support of our sponsor: Higher Logic. Big Quotes On building an internal community for Mobil employees in the 80s: “The reason my [internal community] failed was that a number of [employees] across the country had just decided they were going torpedo it and just not participate. They were going to make sure it didn’t work. The reason they did that was not because they were bad, evil people trying to destroy my corporate dreams. What I saw as a way of finding problems and fixing them, they saw as exposing their mistakes.” –@stacyhorn On starting a community based on your passions: “People will sometimes ask me if they should start a community … tied to their passion. … My answer is usually that, well, if you start a community, you’ll still talk about that passion but you’ll have a whole new passion that’ll suck up your time and that passion is community management. It takes you away from that hobby, that love, that passion, and puts you into that seat where you have to maintain the environment so that other people can have that same passion that you once had and hopefully still do.” –@patrickokeefe On where she was hoping to see more progress: “It isn’t the internet or any of our tools that have failed. It is still us. It still comes right back to us and the people that are spreading ugliness. It’s them, not the internet. It’s a shame that they have a platform that they didn’t have before which allows them to grow. Again, the ugliness is in them.” –@stacyhorn About Stacy Horn Stacy Horn, who Mary Roach has hailed for “combining awe-fueled curiosity with topflight reporting skills,” is the author of six nonfiction books. Her newest is Damnation Island: Poor, Sick, Mad & Criminal in 19th Century New York. Her previous books include Imperfect Harmony: Finding Happiness Singing with Others, Unbelievable: Investigations into Ghosts, Poltergeists, Telepathy, and Other Unseen Phenomena from the Duke Parapsychology Laboratory, and The Restless Sleep: Inside New York City’s Cold Case Squad, which received starred reviews from both Kirkus and Publisher’s Weekly. Over the years Horn has produced pieces for the NPR show, All Things Considered, including the 1945 story of five missing children in West Virginia, the Vatican’s search for a patron saint of the internet, and an overview of cold case investigation in the United States. Horn is also the founder of the New York City-based social network Echo. Echo was home to many online media firsts, including the first interactive tv show, which was co-produced with the then SciFi Channel.

G&D 03-08-09Unbelievable: Investigations into Ghosts, Poltergeists, Telepathy, and Other Unseen Phenomena from the Duke Parapsychology LaboratoryScientists have always disdained parapsychology, but there was a brief moment in the early 1930’s when the scientific community thought, well, okay, ectoplasm, seances and table rappings aside, maybe there is something going on. Duke opened a lab to study the various phenomena, and for a few decades, a group of serious scientists and graduate students tried to find if there was anything to it all. Unbelievable is the story of what they did and did not find.
