Discover guidance to living a life of beauty and balance in harmony with your heart.
In this three salon series, scholar Kayleen Asbo will guide participants through how to create a rhythm of life that sustains the spirit through encounters with the "hermetic life” in wisdom traditions across the centuries, from the Greek philosopher Pythagoras to Mary Magdalene.
Each week will have a special emphasis:
Week One: The Archetype of the Hermit from Pythagoras to Parsifal and Jedi Knights
Week Two: From Egypt to France and Ireland: Mary Magdalene and The Hermetic Roots of Christian Contemplation
Week Three: The Wisdom of the Anchorites: Hildegard of Bingen and Julian of Norwich
