A Winter Retreat with St. Hildegard of Bingen

Wednesdays, in January and February:

Using the book Set the World on Fire: A 4-Week Personal Retreat with Female Doctors of the Church by Vinita Hampton Wright, we will delve into the life and prayer of

St. Hildegard of Bingen.

A celebrated Doctor of the Church, Hildegard is a model for us of engaging life with great passion and creativity. She was a mystic, poet, musician, theologian, healer, naturalist, and so much more.

During the four weeks, we will learn about the sources of her holy curiosity and holy creativity, meditate on what God is saying to us through her, and focus our prayer on specific questions to help us follow God’s call to our own gifts. The author tells us, “[Hildegard] can inspire us to dwell deeply in our own experiences of faith and allow God’s energy to bring about creative work in whatever form . . . Who knows what will happen when we commune with our Creator and learn who we truly are!”
