“The Vision of Hildegard”
A happy 918th birthday to Hildegard of Bingen, the twelth-century “celebrity” monastic whose philosophy, music, theology, choreography, drama, and vision defied all convention. Despite her orthodoxy, her ideas about the harmony of body and spirit, the emptiness of thought without action, and theory that music speaks to the divine in each of us, still holds inspiration for us today. This service will be filled with Hildegard’s music and poetry. Rev. Bret Lortie speaking.
