This talk draws on Dr. Minji Lee’s recent publication, The Medieval Womb: Hildegard of Bingen's Views on the Female Reproductive Body.
Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179), a German Benedictine nun, believed that human beings possess the power to heal themselves in body, mind, and soul as being created by God and inheriting the divine power.
Hildegard of Bingen used the concept of viriditas, the greening power, to explain human health and reproduction as analogous to the vitality by which trees and plants draw water and nutrients from the earth to produce leaves and flowers.
Details: The fee for this workshop will be paid at the museum and will reflect museum entrance fees. We also ask that participants mark their attendance with additional donations in the memory of, and honor of, Ashton Clatterbuck.
Ash was a young trans person from PA who took his own life in 2024.
The Ashton Myles Clatterbuck Memorial Fund is an ongoing tribute
to his commitment to social justice.
