As there is no Spring without Viriditas there is no Spring at The Cloister without a Hildegard retreat!
In this mini zoom retreat we will explore Hildegard's association with three archetypes (mother, visionary, healer) and how this speaks to our own soul's journey.
There is in all of us, sons and daughters, a deep longing for our motherly home. The medieval German Abbess HILDEGARD OF BINGEN has seen this deep longing embedded at the heart of human creation. Though she was never a birth mother herself she has become a mother to many. A fore-mother, a mother in spirit, an example of motherhood, a strong symbol for the mother archetype. For her, motherhood has always also been a powerful metaphor for the life force of all creation. Birthing wisdom is at the center of her cosmology, philosophy as well as her spiritual teaching.
Retreat with us
We will meet online in a small group setting to learn more about the mother archetype as well as the archetypes of the visionary and healer and how it shows up in Hildegard's philosophy and spiritual teaching and how she embodies them all.
If you long for a sacred time of learning, retreating, journaling and contemplating this is for you.
I am looking forward to welcome you on this journey, Almut
