Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) was a Benedictine Nun who is considered to be the founder of scientific natural history in Germany. Through mystical visions, psychic impressions and observation of nature, she developed a system of natural therapies, using food, gemstones, and medicinal herbs. In this presentation, we will investigate her recommendations based on diagnosis, prognosis, and treatments which combined physical treatment with holistic methods centered on “spiritual healing”, including the application of tinctures, herbs, and precious stones, recognizing that the four elements (fire, air, water, and earth), the four seasons, the four humors, the four zones of the earth, and the four major winds must be kept in balance. We will also review the modern Scientific Validation that supports the continued use of her methods.

Please take a listen to a lively discussion with the pilgrim-filmmaker, Michael M. Conti, about his first film: The Unruly Mystic: Saint Hildegard. His film series, The Unruly Mystics, “explore the wellness and spiritual connection to creativity, nature and science.”

About Michael Conti

Michael M. Conti—Pilgrim-filmmaker, director-writer–found personal direction in Hildegard’s example and dedicated a film to the magistra’s legacy and her impact on numerous people he interviewed—healers, performers, artists, and academics.

The Unruly Mystic: Saint Hildegard premiered in Germany, was screened by invitation at Harvard University, and delighted audiences worldwide. In 2019, he travelled and filmed along the Hildegard Way in Germany to connect with Hildegardland more deeply.

Michael has over 25 years of experience in video production and creative direction. As a director, editor, producer, and consultant, Michael’s successful track record, beginning in Hollywood, is representative of his work through Crazy Wisdom Films.
