Hildegard and the Arts
Hildegard's Awakening
Was Hildegard von Bingen a visionary artist?
How do the illuminations of her visions use art as a way of knowing ?
Lynn Carol Henderson, Ph.D. in Women’s Ritual Art, creates a series of Hildegard inspired paintings to accompany her story laden analysis of this 12th century mystic’s visions and illuminated mandalas. Explore correspondences of Shamanic and Visionary symbols and patterns in an interactive meditation and art making exercise. In this journey through the portals of Hildegard’s and Dr. Henderson’s images, workshop participants will awaken their own visual thinking.

There is an old women who lives in the sky
See her weave see her fingers fly
She is within us
Beginning to end
Our Grandmother Sister and Friend
She changes everything she touches and everything she touches changes
She changes everything she touches and everything she touches changes
