In this seminar we will learn about medieval humoural medicine as practiced in the monastic setting and how Hildegard took the teachings to a
higher level. Whilst Hildegard?s language is comfortably ensconced in her enigmatic visionary experiences she also uses imagery and metaphors drawn from familiar Judeo-Christian literature. Herbs, stones, music, psalmody, prayer and meditation are woven in a truly holistic/cosmological method of healing.
