Hildegard was a composer, healer, preacher, theologian, mystic and visionary: a woman of her time and out of her time. Born in the 11th century, she was the founder and Abbess of a community of Benedictine nuns in the Rhineland, and her extraordinary range of writing includes revolutionary thinking about medicine, music, the Trinity, the interdependence of male and female and of all humanity with creation. She corresponded with the Pope, preached publicly against corruption in the church and public life, and in 2012 was declared a Doctor of the Church.

June Boyce-Tillman will introduce her life, work, music and ideas, and why she is a theologian for our time as well as her own.

The Revd Dr June Boyce-Tillman is Professor Emerita of Applied Music at the University of Winchester and an Extraordinary Professor at North West University, South Africa. She is a composer, hymn writer and the convenor of Music Spirituality and Wellbeing International which brings together healing, the arts and theology, and author of numerous books including 'Creative Spirit: Harmonious Living with Hildegard of Bingen'.
