At this event, we explored ancient healing wisdom through the teachings of Hildegard of Bingen, who was an abbess, writer, composer, philosopher, poet and polymath. She is also considered to be the first important naturopath and herbalist of the Middle ages. As a healer, she used various modalities to integrate body, mind and soul through physical, emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions. She introduced healing with the power of the four cosmic elements, natural remedies and nutrition and with the forces of the soul.
Marie shared her amazing journey with Hildegard, talking about how we can combat our vices through opening ourselves up to the healing energy brought about by counteracting virtues. She talked about how fasting can be beneficial for your health if you do it through professional supervision, and imparted Hildegard’s wisdom on holistic healing practices.
Through small group activities we talked about how we incorporate Hildegard’s practices into our lives already and explored new ways to be more present and more in tune with our souls. We practiced mindfulness and discussed how her ancient practices of holistic healing are still very relevant in society today.
Immediately following the workshop, we had a fabulous luncheon. The food was delicious!
