In the footsteps of Hildegard

The path of Hildegard. Among the many tourist initiatives for the rediscovery of places or monuments, the one proposed by the Hildegard Academy on Saturday 17 September from 9 to 18, athermitage of Camaldoli it is original.

It is a question of walking a path that is not physically tiring, but as beautiful and full of surprises as it is demanding, like everything that is done with passion and scrupulousness. It is a path led by a group of trainers and experts, with the background of the hermitage panorama, designed for those who want to spend a day in contact with nature, but also with themselves. She has another guide: Hildegard of Bigen, one of the most particular saints linked to the world of nature, science, medicine, food, as well as a Benedictine theologian.

The meaning of setting out.

Each itinerary presupposes the will to move, to progress towards something. This may or may not benefit us. We can give breath to our days by learning in walking the path to have a different outlook on oneself
himself and everything around us. Curiosity is not banned, on the contrary. Faith, for those who have the gift, not even.
The Hildegard Academy promotes this path, a Neapolitan association that aims to consider the individual in his entirety and complexity, respecting the principle according to which it is not possible to heal the psychological wounds of a person without also taking care of those of his body and his soul.

How was this proposal born?

Gaia Rettura, director of the association explains: «This year our academy celebrates our ninth anniversary in conjunction with the 10th anniversary of the sanctification of our wonderful inspirer! We thought of a day to live together, a path to follow, different stages for as many important moments in life ».

A look at the person with the guidance of Hildegard

“I am ignorant, I have not had a complete education, but, in my soul, I am educated” she said about herself Hildegard of Bingen. She lived in 1100 she was not only canonized by Benedict XVI in May 2012, but five months later she was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church. Her name now approaches to Benedictine spirituality, ara to music, now to medicine and even nutrition. Among her notes: & quot; Rye… has many properties. The bread that is obtained is good and strengthens those who are healthy. Even fat people will benefit from it since it makes their meat lose weight even if not lacking in vigor. ” A woman of strong temperament, but also very humble. One of the promoters of the initiative, Professor Francesco Rettura reveals that «Hildegard fascinates with her modernity. She lived in the Middle Ages, she is a saint who talks about music, medicine, social communications in a surprising way. She is a woman who also speaks to the world today ».
