Drawing on literature from the Song of Songs, The Gospel of Mary and other gnostic texts to contemporary works, on images from Sophia and Isis to the present, and on music from Hildgard of Bingen to contemporary composers such as Francis Poulenc and Arvo Pärt, we will explore the figure of this long-repressed but powerful archetype of transformation. Amplification of the lecture material through image, and especially through music, will allow for deeper understanding. We will approach the dark, hidden, but positive feminine through the figure of Mary Magdalene, long associated with the Black Madonna, and other legendary figures and trace her origins through her predecessors.

In this participatory and exploratory workshop, participants will continue to experience their own introverted responses to image, music, and literature of the archetype of the dark feminine. How do the responses of modern men and women contribute to understanding the archetype? Discussion will allow the group to come to some group assessment of her importance, and an understanding of why in our time she is increasingly important in the collective. Participants may want to read the contemporary bestseller, The Da Vinci Code, to get a flavor of some of the material that will be presented. Participants will receive a suggested reading list and discography.
