Traveling troupe brings romp to Howland The jolly play Death and the Fool presents a musical romp through medieval Europe, when droves of people died from the plague and purveyors of whimsical folly did their best to leaven the mood. The play, which will be performed by the Happenstance Theater on June 20 at the Howland Cultural Center in Beacon, is promoted as family-friendly, although one of the characters is Death. "Kids have to deal with deep stuff all the time," says Sabrina Mandell, who co-directs the Maryland-based troupe with her husband, Mark Jaster. "This is no worse than church." Mandell, who also performs, is the visionary. "I usually lead the charge and wanted to deal with the more shamanistic roots of theater," she says. "I'm interested in alchemy and art, like [Hieronymus] Bosch. I proposed those things to the ensemble, and they went at it full bore." Death and the Fool, which began touring last year, is a spinoff from the full-scale production Adrift: A Medieval Wayward Folly, which opens a three-week run in Maryland starting next month to celebrate the company's 20th anniversary. The 50-minute, four-page script balances humor and gravitas but omits the music, dancing, puppets, slapstick and manic antics, says Mandell. Costumes make it easier to identify the five actors, including Mandell and Jaster, as they perform multiple roles. The play is loosely based on Tarot cards, but knowledge of that mystical realm is not required, Mandell says. "Few people will get the references, but things center on archetypal characters, like the fool, death, oracles, the magician." The ensemble also introduces obscure medieval instruments and performs period pieces from the Dark Ages, including works by composer Hildegard von Bingen, active in Germany during the 12th century. Jaster brings along a hurdy-gurdy, "which is mistaken for a pump organ or calliope organ grinder," he says. The real deal looks like a neckless violin; a crank at the bottom causes a mechanical bow to "circle underneath the six strings and create a drone, like bagpipes." Jaster also has a flute, a handheld tabor pipe, two portable harps, a chalumeau, — precursor to the clarinet — and a Baroque ukulele shaped like a lute. He enjoys wreaking havoc with the bombard, a double-reeded oboe-style instrument. "It looks innocent, but packs a punch for fanfares and intros," he says. "When we rehearse, the rest of the cast asks me to step into the other room or go outside." Happenstance Theater specializes in historic-oriented work. Another of its productions, Barococo, is set during the Baroque era. "People are nostalgic, and history is big now," says Mandell. "The aesthetics of different periods clash with the modern, but the topics are universal and the settings elevate the work because people seldom see that look in theater, film or TV." Despite the silliness, the heady message about enjoying life in the face of imminent death resonates as it did 900 years ago. "The content is playful and ridiculous," says Mandell. "But it's also quite moving." The Howland Cultural Center is located at 477 Main St. in Beacon. Tickets for Death and the Fool, which begins at 2 p.m. on June 20, are $10 at dub.sh/death-fool or $15 at the door.

How did a cloistered, twelfth century nun become a visionary, composer, healer, preacher, and adviser to popes and emperors?Despite having visions from childhood - even in the womb, she claimed - Hildegard of Bingen waited until the age of 42 when she heard a divine command to “write what you see and hear”, a moment that launched one of the most remarkable careers of the medieval world, including as creator of the most distinctive surviving sacred music of the Middle Ages.Dr. Eleanor Janega is joined by Dr Hetta Howes, to explore the extraordinary life, dazzling theology, and legacy of Hildegard.MORE:Julian of NorwichListen on AppleListen on SpotifyLives of Medieval NunsListen on AppleListen on SpotifyGone Medieval is presented by Dr. Eleanor Janega.

För tio år sedan slog Sara Parkman igenom med albumet "Sara Parkmans skog". Sedan dess har hon trampat upp en egensinnig stig mellan uråldrig folkmusik och hypermoderna harmonier. Nu knackar hon på hemma hos Strage för att prata om sitt nya album "Aster, atlas", om sin uppväxt i en prästfamilj i Härnösand, om att upptäcka folk- och proggrock genom filmen "Tillsammans", om att följa Voltaires råd att odla sin trädgård, om att hämta liturgisk kraft genom att skriva på latin, om att vilja hänga med Hildegard av Bingen på 1100-talet, om sin skräckblandade kärlek till black metal, om att sjunga för kor, om att bli kallad "skrikande miljöpartistfitta" på Flashback och om varför det är svårt att samla på fioler: "Du kan hitta en skruttgitarr för tusen spänn som låter fantastiskt, mina fioler kostar 100 000 kr styck, det är relativt billigt för att vara bra instrument."

Scripture warns of a Great Apostasy. Our Lady of Fatima promised that her Immaculate Heart would triumph, but not before a period of suffering, confusion, and persecution. Father James Altman joins John-Henry Westen to argue that the signs are all around us: a Church in crisis, a hierarchy lost in ambiguity, and a world preparing to welcome a false savior.The conversation spans Fatima's delayed consecration of Russia, the ignored request to consecrate France to the Sacred Heart, and the prophecies of saints like Hildegard, Padre Pio, and Archbishop Fulton Sheen. Sheen, in particular, foresaw that the laity would one day restore the Church while clergy and bishops abandoned their posts.Altman is blunt: this is not the time for complacency. The synodal church, the replacement of confession with "listening centers," the normalization of sin, the silence of cardinals, all of it points to a spiritual collapse foretold centuries ago. But prophecy is not meant to inspire fear. It is meant to prepare.The end is not the end of the world. It is the end of the world. And for those who remain faithful, the triumph of the Immaculate Heart is already certain. The question is whether Catholics will be ready when the Antichrist makes his entrance.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

Mitten im historischen 3000 Seelen Ort Meisenheim, umgeben von Weinbergen, wurden barocke Bestandshäuser renoviert und modernisiert und 2014 als Romantik Hotel Meisenheimer Hof eröffnet. Markus Pape und seine Frau Clarissa haben am Fluss Glan ihren Traum zum Arbeiten und Leben gefunden und für ihre Gäste ein besonderes Genuss-Ensemble erschaffen. Der gebürtige Sauerländer ist Koch aus Leidenschaft und lernte in deutschen Top-Adressen: „Geprägt hat mich Jena-Claude Bourgueil mit seiner klassisch-französischen Küche. Bei Dieter Müller habe ich u.a. den perfekten Umgangston in der Küche gelernt.“ Warum es in seinem Hotel keine Zimmernummern gibt, was Hildegard von Bingen mit dem Schwester-Weingut zu tun hat und mit welchem Menü der Sternekoch seine Premiere beim Schleswig-Holstein Gourmet Festival im Romantik Hotel Waldschlösschen gefeiert hat, erfahren Interessierte in der Podcastfolge 96.

Description Christopher Perrin welcomes Dr. Matthew J. Smith, founder of Hildegard College, to discuss why he left a tenure-track literature career to build a deliberately small, relationship-centered “micro college” in Southern California. Smith describes modern higher education as expensive, bureaucratically bloated, and often unable to offer a unified vision of learning—especially when general education becomes a “Wild West” and majors drift toward professional specialization rather than formation. Hildegard's alternative model centers on a common great-books curriculum organized around six foundational questions, paired with “entrepreneurial arts” that train students to design and launch real ventures rooted in meaningful work. The conversation explores why generalist formation matters in an AI-saturated economy, and why polymathy may be a more realistic pathway to flourishing than narrow specialization. Perrin and Smith then turn to Smith's forthcoming book The Lost Tradition of Beauty, arguing that modern education has lost beauty as an intellectually serious category—reducing it to ornament or aesthetics rather than a transcendent that illuminates truth and shapes goodness. They close by discussing what it would mean for schools to recover beauty not merely in décor, but in the lived environment of learning: sound, space, attention, and shared life that draws students out of themselves and toward the whole.Episode OutlineSmith's academic journey: graduate school motivations, love of the liberal arts, and entering college teachingThe problem in contemporary higher education: cost, debt, bureaucracy, specialization, and lack of a unified visionDiscovering the “alternative college” movement and visiting models (great-books and classical micro colleges)Why relationship matters: mentorship, friendship, shared curriculum, and non-anonymous learningHildegard College's distinctives: one degree, one major, one shared curriculumThe six foundational questions that organize Hildegard's great-books “Foundations of Thought” sequenceLiberal arts + entrepreneurial arts: “creative action” as redemptive work and practical formationWhy “Hildegard”: Hildegard of Bingen as a model polymath and cultural contributorStudent and faculty profiles: internships, civic partners, and bivocational teachersLiberal education in an AI economy: generalists, adaptability, and meaningful workThe Lost Tradition of Beauty: why beauty is intellectually muscular, objective, and formativeBeauty in schooling: beyond ornament to vocabulary, participation, attention, soundscape, and lived wholenessHow to learn more: admissions, preview weeks, and online “redemptive entrepreneurship” coursesKey Topics & TakeawaysHigher education often lacks a unified telos. A “comprehensive university” can produce radically different educational experiences across majors, without shared formation. Cost and debt intensify the crisis. Smith describes the economic burden alongside a weak “return” in both formation and earnings. Micro colleges can rebuild the human scale of learning. Smallness protects against anonymity and makes mentorship and accountability unavoidable. A common curriculum can generate a true academic fellowship. Shared books and shared questions create shared rites of passage and shared intellectual language.Polymathy is increasingly practical. As AI changes entry-level work, broad formation and transferable habits may matter more than narrow competencies. Entrepreneurship can be “creative action,” not mere profit-seeking. Hildegard frames entrepreneurship as participation in God's redemptive work through building and service. Beauty is not optional decoration. Smith argues beauty is objective, rationally discussable, and essential to moral and intellectual renewal. Recovering beauty begins with recovering vocabulary. Schools cannot pursue what they cannot name, describe, and practice.Questions & DiscussionWhat is the “accidental shape” of higher education you've experienced—and what does it do to formation?What would a “unified vision for learning” look like in one concrete institutional decision?Why does relationship matter so much for transformational learning?Describe a time your learning changed because of mentorship or friendship rather than content alone. What are the strengths and limits of a single, common curriculum?What do students gain when everyone reads the same books and wrestles with the same questions? Are “polymaths” a luxury—or a necessity in an AI-shaped economy?How could schools cultivate breadth without becoming shallow (depth-through-few, long apprenticeships, layered skills)?What do you think of pairing great books with “entrepreneurial arts”?If students must build real things, what guardrails ensure the building remains ordered toward the good?Suggested Reading & ResourcesThe Lost Tradition of Beauty by Dr. Matthew J.

In dieser Folge des WELTKUNST-Podcasts „Was macht die Kunst?“ spricht Lisa Zeitz mit der Kunsthistorikerin Julia Voss über die Ausstellung „Natur und deutsche Geschichte. Glaube – Biologie – Macht“ im Deutschen Historischen Museum und darüber, wie sich das Verhältnis von Mensch und Natur über Jahrhunderte verändert hat. Im Zentrum des Gesprächs steht Hildegard von Bingen, deren Visionen, Bildwelten und Naturverständnis bis heute nachwirken – zwischen Spiritualität, Ökologie und Popkultur. Ein zentrales Thema ist die Frage, wie historische Bilder und Erzählungen bis heute unser Verhältnis zur Umwelt prägen – von der Kartoffel als preußischem Machtinstrument bis zur Entstehung des Kindergartens und den frühen Umweltbewegungen der 1970er-Jahre. Der WELTKUNST-Podcast „Was macht die Kunst?“ wird in Partnerschaft mit Volkswagen Group Culture.

Manchmal, wenn Zeit ist, höre ich gerne geistliche Musik. Das ist Musik, die biblische oder liturgische Texte nimmt und sie vertont; ob aus dem Mittelalter von Hildegard von Bingen, Claudio Monteverdi aus der Zeit der Renaissance, Händel, Bach oder Praetorius aus dem Barock und noch sehr viele mehr. Und es ist oft ein sehr diffuses Gefühl: Die Musik entführt scheinbar Geist und Seele in eine ganz andere Sphäre und beschwingt oder wühlt auf, beruhigt oder tut einfach gut.Und ganz oft bleibe ich dann so sehr in den Noten und Klängen gefangen, dass ich Raum und Zeit vergesse und ganz berührt bin, wenn nach langer Zeit ein Nachrichtenjingle kommt oder die CD zu Ende ist. Musik wäscht den Staub des Alltags von der Seele, heißt es nicht umsonst. Und noch ganz anders geschieht es, wenn man selbst singt oder ein Instrument spielt oder elektronisch Musik macht.Vorige Woche ist mir das seit langem mal wieder passiert. Wir haben uns zu viert auf der Orgelempore der Mutterhauskirche getroffen, um zwei wundervolle Gesänge zu üben und zu wiederholen, die wir schon lange kennen, aber nur noch selten singen. Für das Jubiläumsfest einiger unserer Schwestern wollten wir das aber gern mal wieder tun. Und ich bin immer wieder verblüfft darüber, wenn die Melodie angespielt wird und die ersten Töne kommen, dann singt es quasi ganz von allein aus mir heraus. Und es kamen in meinem Hinterkopf ganz viele Szenen wieder deutlich hervor, die mit diesen Gesängen und den Feierlichkeiten aus den ersten Ordensjahren zusammenhängen. Und es war dann, nach der kurzen Probe, den ganzen Nachmittag wie eine Dauerschleife eines Filmes mit dieser wunderschönen Musik.Heute ist vielleicht ein guter Tag, um mal wieder die Lieblingsmusik zu hören oder mal etwas ganz anderes und die Seele mit schönen Klängen umarmen zu lassen. Gönn es Dir. Es wird Dir guttun.

Moderation Martin Gross/Gesendet in Ö1 am 18.5.2026++Tausende Menschen haben gestern in Washington an einer von der US-Regierung initiierten neunstündigen Gebetsveranstaltung unter dem Titel "Rededicate 250" - also in etwa "Neuweihe 250" teilgenommen. Als Redner traten neben zahlreichen christlich-evangelikalen Predigern auch Verteidigungsminister Pete Hegseth und der Vorsitzende des Repräsentantenhauses, der Republikaner Mike Johnson, auf. (Gross)++Bei der derzeit laufenden Kunstbiennale in Venedig widmet sich der Heilige Stuhl heuer einer ganz besonderen Figur: Die Arbeit von Hildegard von Bingen wird an gleich zwei Standorten gewürdigt. Die Ausstellungsmacher zeigen dabei die Vielfalt der mittelalterlichen Mystikerin, Wissenschaftlerin und Künstlerin. (Cornelia Vospernik)

Ze schreef een opmerkelijk essay in (https://www.trouw.nl/tijdgeest/na-mijn-rondje-in-de-sportschool-voel-ik-mij-altijd-beter-maar-nooit-voel-ik-mij-minder-alleen-in-de-kerk-wel~b66d55cb/)Trouw (https://www.trouw.nl/tijdgeest/na-mijn-rondje-in-de-sportschool-voel-ik-mij-altijd-beter-maar-nooit-voel-ik-mij-minder-alleen-in-de-kerk-wel~b66d55cb/) - een essay dat ze zelf omschrijft als haar coming-out als gelovige. Want ja: na jarenlang zoeken durft schrijver Josha Zwaan dat inmiddels hardop te zeggen. Zwaan schreef de bestseller Parnassia en heeft een achtergrond als gedragswetenschapper. Gaandeweg haar leven ontdekte ze dat er iets nodig is wat groter is dan zijzelf om overeind te blijven. Iets dat verder gaat dan ratio, zelfhulp of controle. We praten ook over haar nieuwe roman Wilgenkind, die een indringende vraag stelt over mantelzorg: moet je zorgen voor iemand die niet goed voor jou heeft gezorgd? Josha had een moeizame relatie met haar ouders - maar wat kan er gebeuren als de dood dichtbij komt? David Boogerd spreekt Josha Zwaan samen met vaste gast Stefan Paas, theoloog en hoogleraar aan de VU Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht.

Today AC & Isaac welcome herbalist and teacher Olatokunboh Obasi back to the Plant Cunning Podcast for a second interview, now speaking from outside Nairobi, Kenya. Obasi shares that she's finishing a doctorate in clinical nutrition while working toward opening an integrative women's health clinic, and explains how nutrition, changing food systems, and modern indoor life affect herbal outcomes. She discusses divination and geomancy, genetics as “codes” responding to environment, and how she navigates multiple traditions—Yoruba as her root, alongside Taíno and Kenyan indigenous practices—without collapsing them into one. They explore Kenyan healing culture, including lineage-based herbalism, diviners, birth workers, and bone-setting (lila) meridian work, plus a story of discovering an East African betony for headaches. Obasi also defines traditional African medicine as diverse, spiritually centered, and regionally distinct, and critiques material reductionism in Western herbalism while pointing to figures like Culpeper and Hildegard as bridges back to spirit.00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro01:45 Ola's Life in Kenya03:50 Why Clinical Nutrition05:52 Divination and Genetics09:31 Lineages and Training11:41 Navigating Multiple Traditions16:47 Plants Calling in Kenya22:15 Healing Culture in Kenya24:40 Bone Setting and Lila28:32 Community-Based Medicine34:32 Defining African Traditional Medicine36:16 Spirit First Healing36:47 Lineage And Bioregions37:45 Cross Cultural Herbal Exchange41:37 Reclaiming Spirit In Herbalism44:02 Traditional Western Medicine45:44 Astrology, Culpeper, Hildegard50:17 Centering Over Scrolling53:07 Rest Boredom And Reading54:07 Rethinking Academia And Art58:27 Craft Culture And Kenya

Higher education is in upheaval, and a wave of "micro colleges" is reimagining undergraduate formation. Matthew Smith, co-founder and president of Hildegard College in Costa Mesa, California, joins Mark Labberton to talk about a tiny school marrying the Great Books to redemptive entrepreneurship. "We need young adults who are coming out of college who are failure resilient." In this episode, Smith reflects on the demographic cliff, the limits of professionalized majors, and why eighteen-year-olds need formation before a career. Together they discuss higher ed innovation, redemptive entrepreneurship, beauty as a public good, and what employers really want. Episode Highlights "We need young adults who are coming out of college who are failure resilient." "Most of these schools are endeavoring at least to promise a fruitful career … leaving behind what most 18 to 23 year olds actually need." "I would warn people away from universities that cannot clearly answer the question, what will all students learn at your school?" "First you need to seek what's true and good, what's worthy of being loved. Then you need to be formed into the kind of person that loves it. And then finally, the natural outlet of that is creation." "If there's a problem, they figure it out. They're not just asking their computers what the answer is." About Matthew Smith Matthew J. Smith is the founding president of Hildegard College, a Christian liberal arts micro college in Costa Mesa, California. He holds a PhD in Literature from USC, and taught for fifteen years at Azusa Pacific University before founding Hildegard College. His scholarship covers Shakespeare, John Milton, John Donne, and George Herbert; he has authored or edited four books on early modern literature and religion, and is working on a new book on beauty.

This week we're continuing down the Sheldrake path with The Physics of Angels by Matthew Fox and Rupert Sheldrake, where a theologian and a scientist try to make sense of angels in a modern context. Pulling from figures like Aquinas and Hildegard, we explore whether these “beings” might actually point to forms of intelligence or organization we still don't fully understand. Whether you buy it or not, it's a solid look at how our view of reality might be a lot more limited than we think. Welcome to this banger Plus+ Extension! The long awaited uber saga that is From the Mundane to the Magnificent is at hand! This remarkably fun story is very much an epic tale loaded with insights that will take your mind off of the nonsense found littered about this so called “reality”. Part one offers us instructions for leaving the restrictive body for astral exploration, a new look at the Earth and solar system only to bring it all home by shrinking to the size of an atom, and stopping to have a chin wag with a cell offering their interpretation of life from their perspective. Thank you for being on Plus+ with us! Sit back and enjoy a fresh perspective that could change everything about your Youniverse and unlock hidden potential within yourcelf.  The Physics of Angels: Exploring the Realm Where Science and Spirit Meet   From the Mundane to the Magnificent - Vera Stanley Alder LinksPlus+ ExtensionThe extension of the show is EXCLUSIVE to Plus+ Members.

Il est passé à 2000 à l'heure ce mois d'avril. J'avoue que je n'avais pas forcément bien anticipé l'augmentation substantielle de ma charge de travail avec le lancement de mon site nowplaying.cool.Les journées me paraissent plus courtes que jamais, alors que je publie en moyenne 4 articles par jour en plus de ma journée de travail. Ne vous prenez pas, je fais ça avec un grand plaisir et une passion intacte.

Medizin aus der Natur und die Kunst, wieder auf den eigenen Körper zu hörenWas hilft, wenn der Schlaf bröckelt, der Körper zwickt und der Alltag langsam zu viel wird? Bertram Kasper spricht mit der Heilpraktikerin und Autorin Melanie Wenzel über Naturheilkunde für zu Hause, über Selbstfürsorge ohne Selbstoptimierungswahn und über die Frage, warum Heilpflanzen oft da ansetzen, wo wir längst spüren, dass etwas aus dem Gleichgewicht geraten ist. Eine Folge, die Mut macht, klein anzufangen, klar hinzuhören und dem eigenen Körper wieder mehr zuzutrauen.Darum geht's in dieser Episode:Warum Naturheilkunde nicht bloß Symptome wegdrücken will, sondern den Menschen als Ganzes in den Blick nimmt.Weshalb Selbstwirksamkeit heilsam sein kann, gerade dann, wenn wir uns erschöpft, überfordert oder ausgeliefert fühlen.Welche historischen Stimmen Melanie Wenzel geprägt haben, von Hildegard von Bingen bis Paracelsus.Warum Bitterstoffe, einfache Hausmittel und drei Kräuter auf der Fensterbank oft schon ein guter Anfang sind.Weshalb Wechseljahre nicht nur als Mangelgeschichte erzählt werden sollten, sondern auch als Phase der Neuorientierung, der Rückkehr zu sich selbst.Was bei pflanzlichen Mitteln zu beachten ist, besonders im Zusammenspiel mit Medikamenten.Ein praktisches Rezept aus dem Gespräch, ein Nasenöl für Erwachsene bei Erkältung und verstopfter Nase.Besonders schön ist der Gedanke, dass Gesundheit nicht aus immer mehr Trends entsteht. Nicht aus Eisbaden um jeden Preis, nicht aus dem nächsten Wundermittel, sondern oft aus etwas viel Schlichterem: hinhören, reduzieren, dranbleiben. Oder, wie Melanie Wenzel sinngemäß sagt, man muss garnicht alles auf einmal ändern, manchmal reicht ein erster, ehrlicher Schritt.Zitat der Folge:„Jetzt ist es Zeit. Was möchtest du? Jetzt wird es dein Leben.“Melanie WenzelErwähnt in der Folge:Buch „Herbal Healing Medizin aus der Natur“ von Melanie WenzelHinweis: Diese Folge ersetzt keine medizinische Beratung.

Episode #109: Prattling on about Hildegard of Bingen, the Syble of the Rhine...

What does it really mean to follow a calling when the very institution that shaped your faith no longer recognizes you? In this powerful episode of Your Radical Truth Podcast, Margaret Mary O'Connor sits down with Reverend Shanon Sterringer for a deeply honest conversation about vocation, excommunication, and the courage it takes to walk a path that few are willing to take. Shanon's journey began inside the Roman Catholic Church, where she served for more than two decades in ministry, leadership, and theological education. Her call to priesthood was not something that came from outside the Church. It was formed within it. Yet when she answered that call through ordination, she faced the reality that many women before her have encountered. Separation, scrutiny, and ultimately excommunication. What makes this conversation so compelling is not just the doctrine behind it, but the lived experience. Shanon shares what it felt like to receive multiple formal letters, how the process unfolded over time, and why the emotional impact goes far beyond what canon law can explain. This is not simply a theological issue. It is a deeply human one. At the same time, this episode goes far beyond the topic of excommunication. A central thread throughout the conversation is Shanon's lifelong study and devotion to St. Hildegard of Bingen. As a scholar, retreat leader, and founder of the Community of St. Hildegard Church and Hildegard Haus Shrine, Shanon brings a grounded and expansive understanding of Hildegard's life and work. You will hear a perspective on Hildegard that is rarely shared in full. While many know her as a mystic, herbalist, or composer, Shanon paints a much more complete picture. Hildegard was also a theologian, visionary, leader, and at times deeply traditional in her thinking. Her legacy includes music, healing practices, theological writings, visionary works, and over 400 letters that reveal a candid and often surprising voice. This episode also explores how Hildegard's influence is alive today through Shanon's work. From sacred gardens and retreats to hybrid learning experiences and community gatherings, Shanon has created a space where people can encounter Hildegard in a tangible and meaningful way. Whether someone comes for spiritual connection, intellectual curiosity, or personal growth, there is an open invitation to explore. You will also hear about The Green Shepherdess, Shanon's fair trade store inspired by Hildegard's vision of balance, sustainability, and care for creation. It is another example of how spiritual principles can be lived out in everyday life, reaching people far beyond traditional religious settings. Throughout the conversation, themes of leadership, integrity, and personal truth continue to surface. Shanon's story is not only about women's ordination. It is about what happens when you choose to live in alignment with what you know to be true, even when it comes at a cost. This is a conversation for anyone who has ever questioned authority, navigated a major life shift, or felt called to something that others did not understand.

El doctorado es el título otorgado por la Iglesia católica como máxima distinción a grandes personalidades cuyos escritos y enseñanzas han influido profundamente en la teología cristiana. Aunque la figura fue instaurada a finales del siglo XIII, no reconocerá a ninguna mujer hasta que en 1970 el papa Pablo VI nombra doctoras a la abulense Santa Teresa de Jesús, responsable de la reforma del Carmelo en el siglo XVI, y a Catalina de Siena, dominica terciaria del siglo XIV. Casi tres décadas después, en 1997, Juan Pablo II incluyó en la lista a la santa francesa Teresa de Lisieux, una joven carmelita descalza fallecida en 1897. Por último, en 2012, Benedicto XVI promovió el doctorado de la alemana Hildegarda de Bingen, polifacética abadesa benedictina que vivió en el siglo XII.En total, cuatro mujeres en una nómina que suma 38 doctores hasta la fecha. Otras personalidades religiosas se encuentran actualmente en estudio para su posible distinción; entre ellas, la carmelita descalza y filósofa Santa Teresa Benedicta de la Cruz, judía conversa nacida como Edith Stein y fallecida en el campo de exterminio de Auschwitz.Este documental, con guion de Ana Vega Toscano y diseño sonoro de Samuel Alarcón, se acerca a las cuatro doctoras siguiendo la cronología de sus nombramientos. Intervienen Silvia Mas, profesora del departamento de Historia de la Iglesia de la Pontificia Università della Santa Croce y editora del libro 'Doctoras de la Iglesia y patronas de Europa'; Victoria Cirlot, catedrática de filología románica de la Universitat Pompeu Fabra, editora de Hildegard von Bingen en español y autora de 'La mirada interior. Mística femenina en la Edad Media'; Josemi Lorenzo Arribas, doctor en historia medieval y especialista en monacato femenino; y José Carlos Martín, doctor en historia de la teología, miembro de la Academia de Historia Eclesiástica y profesor del máster del Dicasterio de las Causas de los Santos. Suenan también en el programa grabaciones históricas procedentes del Archivo RTVE que retratan cada proclamación.Escuchar audio

Patrick opens with thoughts on how smartphones at the table subtly alter relationships, then fields calls about forgotten saints like Hildegard of Bingen, the oddities of canonization, and whether attending a bridal shower at a cohabiting couple’s place sends the wrong message. Questions zigzag across everything from the possibility of George Harrison’s late return to faith, the connection between classic movie scores and traditional masterpieces, to the enigma of why people say "River Jordan" instead of "Jordan River." Humor, moral wrestling, and unpredictable detours abound as Patrick guides listeners through faith, music, and modern life’s small provocations.

For this month's episode of Magus we're going Medieval and talking about the one and only Sibyl of the Rhine, Hildegard of Bingen!Born at the tail end of the 11th century, during the religious fervor following the First Crusade, Hildegard was given to an order of Benedictine monks through a pretty strange quirk in the Holy Roman Empire's tax code. Even in infancy however she reported visions of the "Living Light" - a supernatural spiritual phenomenon that revealed to her occult truths about the real ways the Universe functioned.Maintaining the secret of her revelations until the age of 42, she then spent the next four decades writing trance-inducing musical compositions, books of trailblazing philosophy, and the earliest surviving mystery play, as well as overseeing the construction of two convents, arguing with Frederick Barbarossa, becoming the first named female artist in history, and so much more.A pioneering herbologist, crystal healer, and 'White Witch' who sought to heal the cosmos through 'balancing' the individual, did she really commune with the Living Light to enable her discoveries, or was she simply a migraine suffering bookworm who pulled the wool over people's eyes?If so, where did all of her knowledge actually come from, and how much of it has proven to still be scientifically valuable over 800 years after her death?Also, after her music and created language, Lingua Ignota, were rediscovered during the 19th century occult revival, could it be that society is only now catching up with the implications of her work? Loosen your hair, pin on a white silk veil, and lets sing divine arias until we lose consciousness.Either that or just kick back and listen into to the Music of the Spheres, as this is one of those episodes that may just offer you a route to commune with the divine... We really hope you enjoy it, and Eleanor will speak with you again on Saturday for this week's Local Legends episode all about Montgomeryshire with author, anthropologist and pursuer of the paranormal Dr Jack Hunter!Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcastREGISTER FOR THE TALES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND TOURVisit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

On this week's episode we're winning like Gwenwynwyn and exploring the historic Welsh county of Montgomeryshire!We talk medieval drama in the early days of the kingdom of Powys Wenwynwyn, up to the creation of Montgomeryshire and the crowning of Owain Glyndwr as Prince of all Wales.Digging up some shiny trinkets along our way, we gaze at the highest waterfall in the UK, Pistyll Rhaeaedr, and row our boat down the once glorious Montgomery Canal.Better be on the lookout for danger though, because the fearsome Red Bandits are on the loose, along with some suspicious blue goblins, a flying viper, not to mention a saint who might just be a giant!Then we delve into The Mabinogi for the inspiration for Eleanor's story, "A Strange Arrangement", based on the legend of Blodeuwedd.We hope that you enjoy the episode, and we will speak to you again on Thursday with our brand new episode of Magus all about Hildegard of Bingen!Three Ravens is a Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on a historic county, exploring the heritage, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more.

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.Harp takes center stageKathy Kienzle is a retired principal harp of the Minnesota Orchestra. She's looking forward to the upcoming Bakken Ensemble performance where the harp gets to shine. This season Bakken Ensemble celebrates 30 years. The performance is 4 p.m. Sunday, March 1, at Westminster Hall in Minneapolis.Cheryl Losey Feder is the guest harpist, and Kienzle says this is a wonderful chance to hear her perform chamber music up-close, rather than with the full Minnesota Orchestra.Kathy is particularly looking forward to hearing André Caplet's “Conte Fantastique,” which she calls “extremely difficult and very, very fun to hear.”Kathy says: One of the reasons I really love this piece is people think of the heart as a very beautiful, soothing, pretty instrument. And this piece really looks at the dark side of the harp. It's based on a story by Edgar Allan Poe called “The Masque of the Red Death,” about a group of nobles who hole up in a castle and throw a masked ball while the populace dies of a plague, only to be killed off by a masked figure dressed as a plague victim.— Kathy KienzleA visionary's early years on stageBrianna Regan is a former stage manager and ongoing arts fan in Minneapolis. She has seen both Theatre Elision's current and previous productions of Grace McLean's musical “In the Green,” and she liked it even better this time. The musical is about the early years of Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), a German Benedictine abbess, visionary, and composer whose writings spanned medical, natural history, philosophy, music and more. The 90-minute musical focuses on a young Hildegard's early years, when she entered the church after having visions. She is cloistered with an older nun, Jutta.Brianna describes the show: It's a small, five-person cast that really deals with how to be a woman in the world, how to deal with using your voice, speaking up, being present and how to heal from trauma. This time around, I really think it is even more relevant in our current political environment, as well as what we are dealing with here in Minnesota; it really hit me and gave me that kind of catharsis. The artists in the show are just absolutely incredible. I cannot say enough good things about their musical talents. It is a little bit of a weird musical, but I will say, from start to finish, the story pulls you in.— Brianna ReganChamber music in NisswaStephen Gurney of Bemidji is a retired English professor with a self-described “indefatigable love of classical music.” He and his wife plan to make the drive to Nisswa to see the Lakes Area Music Festival perform Mozart and Borodin.The concert is Sunday at the Lutheran Church of the Cross at 2 p.m. Saturday's performance at Pillsbury Castle in Minneapolis is sold out. The program contains three pieces of chamber music by Mozart, Dvorak and Borodin.Stephen offers some background on Borodin's “String Quartet No. 2 in D Major”:Stephen says: Borodin was one of the Russian five. These were five Russian composers who endeavored to express Russian folk music and even liturgical music in their in their works. Borodin was by trade a chemist, and actually contributed a great deal to the advance of organic chemistry, but the Second String Quartet is a pure love song from beginning to end. It was dedicated to his wife. It was written and given to her on one of their anniversaries.— Stephen Gurney

“There were a whole bunch of these women who were publishing music during their liftetime in 17th-century Italy. I find it's important that young women know that they were composers other than Hildegard and Fanny Hensel who were writing. These women's voices were buried for so many years, and yet they were writing in the same styles as their male contemporaries. We can learn about our times now by looking to the past and to think critically about who we're lifting up and whose voices we are amplifying now based on how things have progressed over history.”Dr. Meredith Bowen is an Assistant Professor of Choral Music at Michigan State University where she teaches graduate choral literature, conducting at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and conducts the auditioned treble ensemble, Mosaic.

Why history lessons drain passion – and how we can fix itHistory should ignite curiosity, creativity and connection. Instead, too often, it does the opposite.In this powerful History Rage Live episode, host Paul Bavill is joined by medievalist, broadcaster and historian Professor Janina Ramirez to rage against the way history is taught – and how rigid curricula, “great man” narratives and siloed subjects are snuffing out a lifelong love of the past.Drawing on her own personal journey, Janina explains how school history almost drove her away from the subject she loved, why women and ordinary people remain marginalised in classrooms, and how our education system has all but killed the polymath. From medieval walls to modern smartphones, she makes a passionate case for interdisciplinary history that reflects real human lives – not just battles, kings and dates.Along the way, the conversation ranges widely:• Why women's history is still treated as optional or tokenistic• How figures like Christine de Pizan and Hildegard of Bingen challenge everything we think we know about the past• Why timelines matter – but rigid periodisation often doesn't• How digital access could create a new generation of polymaths• And why rewriting history isn't about politics, but accuracyThis episode is essential listening for teachers, students, parents, historians and anyone who's ever felt bored by history lessons – and wondered why.If you've ever loved history but felt pushed away by how it's taught, this rage is for you.About the guest: Professor Janina RamirezProfessor Janina Ramirez is a medievalist, art historian and broadcaster, and President (for life) of the Gloucester History Festival.

Hildegard of Bingen | It Runs In The Family | Marlee Kastens by First Christian Church

Friends of the Rosary,Saints are like anyone else, despite how we consider them as spiritual heroes preserved from our day-to-day activities. They struggled with the same things we do, and loved the same things we do. They are not simply models to be admired.There are saints in ordinary life, in art and poetry, in motherhood, psychology, and even politics. There is a huge diversity. Each one uniquely reflects some aspect of the divine reality.The only difference is that they were smart enough to understand that what finally matters is having a holy life by being the person that God wants us to be.Above all, the saints are friends of God.And we can find a saint who is like every one of us.Léon Bloy wrote, "There is only one sadness, and that is not to be saints."Let's keep in mind that only people in heaven will be saints.Bishop Barron wrote about the diversity of saints:"There is Thomas Aquinas, the towering intellectual, and there is the Curé d'Ars, who barely made it through the seminary. There is Vincent de Paul, a saint in the city, and there is Antony, who found sanctity in the harshness and loneliness of the desert. There is Bernard, kneeling on the hard stones of Clairvaux in penance for sins, and there is Hildegard of Bingen, singing and throwing flowers, madly in love with God. There is Peter, the hard-nosed and no-nonsense fisherman, and there is Edith Stein, secretary to Edmund Husserl and colleague to Martin Heidegger, one of the most famous philosophers of the twentieth century. There is Joan of Arc leading armies, and there is Francis of Assisi channeling peace. There is the irascible Jerome and the almost too sweet Thérèse of Lisieux. There is Catherine of Siena, who stood up to popes, and Celestine V, who only reluctantly became pope. There is the grave and serious Bruno, and there is Philip Neri, whose spirituality was based on laughter."Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

St. Catherine of Siena (1347 - 1380) was a "third order" Dominican, spiritual advisor, and a mystic, but also a nurse, and a kind of free-lance politician. She wrote letters of advice (and criticism) to cardinals, bishops, and royalty. She negotiated peace (or tried to) between warring city states, and - like St. Hildegard before her - she had permission to preach and teach. Her "disciples" and spiritual advisees included women and men, laity and clergy.

These aren't fringe ideas or speculative theories. We're talking about the foundational experiments that shaped modern physics: Michelson–Morley, the Sagnac effect, Airy's findings, and the behavior of light in different media. Bennett explains why these results never actually aligned with the narrative textbooks insist on, and how later interpretations were engineered to keep the model intact.We explore the deeper tension underneath the science: the commitment to a worldview that insists humanity cannot occupy a privileged position in the cosmos. Bennett argues that the Copernican principle functions less like an inference and more like a dogma — and when experimental results contradict it, the results get reframed, ignored, or buried. His critique isn't emotional or conspiratorial; it's a sober, technical walk through data that refuses to fit the prevailing cosmology.From aether theories to Newton's bucket to the “axis of evil” in the cosmic microwave background, this conversation opens a door into questions most of us never realized were on the table. Whether you agree, disagree, or simply want to think more critically about the experiments behind modern physics, this is a discussion worth sitting with.You'll Learn:[00:00:00] Introduction[00:11:41] The moment that sparked questioning the very foundations of relativity[00:13:53] What the Michelson Morley experiment actually showed, and how it was misinterpreted and used to reify relativity[00:25:59] The experiments beyond Michelson-Morley that prove aether exists and Earth doesn't rotate[00:34:31] Newton's bucket, inertial frames, and Mach's competing explanation[00:46:15] Why the cosmic microwave background's "axis of evil" points directly to Earth[00:53:28] Why Airy's "failure" was actually a success in falsifying heliocentrism[01:04:11] The nuanced difference between geocentrism and geostatism, and why neither requires a flat Earth[01:21:57] Why GPS had to be engineered around relativity, not built on it[01:33:13] What is aether and what is the alpha model?[01:37:07] What Hildegard of Bingen's medieval vision reveals about Earth's central role in creation[02:01:30] The profound connection between aether, consciousness, and the nature of God[02:11:26] When coincidences become evidence of something beyond the physical[02:14:09] Long-buried artifacts and texts are emerging at this critical moment in historyResources Mentioned:Galileo Was Wrong by Robert Bennett and Robert Sungenis | BookVixra Monographs | WebsiteThe True Conception of the World according to Hildegard von Bingen | BookAn End to the Upside Down Cosmos by Mark Gober | Book or AudiobookFind more from Alec:Alec Zeck | InstagramAlec Zeck | XThe Way Forward | InstagramThe Way Forward is Sponsored By:RMDY Academy & Collective: Homeopathy Made AccessibleHigh-quality remedies and training to support natural healing.
