The old mythologies and philosophies of the West are rich and complex and beautiful. They offer up a world in which everything is not only alive, but has purpose and intentionality of its own. A world to which each incarnated soul chooses to come, for a reason, and to offer up a unique gift which can only be expressed through relationship with and participation in this beautiful animate Earth. Join psychologist, mythologist and author Dr. Sharon Blackie (If Women Rose Rooted and The Enchanted Life) and musician-of-Earth Sara Thomsen for Prairiewoods Franciscan Spirituality Center’s annual Spirituality in the 21st Century event, which will be held entirely online via Zoom video conferencing. We’ll explore what it might be to court the anima mundi: the “world soul” of ancient tradition, and to uncover our own part in its unfolding. For more information or to register, visit the event webpage or call 319-395-6700. Join us online as we explore the intersection of spirituality, ecology and story!
