Delight in All of Creation

Overview

‘All of creation, and humanity in particular is showered with greening refreshment and the vitality to bear fruit.’

This ‘greening’ life-force is what Hildegard termed ‘Viriditas’.

Hildegard of Bingen was a 12th century German abbess, polymath, mystic, now Saint. She believed that the earth was home, a region of joy and delight and as such must be admired, cherished and most of all protected.

Through the lens of Hildegard, we will explore viriditas – reflecting on our own ‘greening’ as we immerse ourselves in her music, illuminations, natural remedies and words of wisdom for ourselves and all of creation.
