Connect With the Soul of the Green Man: An Ancient Symbol Beckons Us to Spiritual Growth and Planetary Community
Time: Fri 11:00AM
Venue: Episcopal
Style: Speaking
Content Type: Ancient Symbol Unites Humanity & Nature
Description: The Green Man speaks to us in the twenty-first century, just as he did to our long-ago ancestors. He’s an ever-changing symbol, with powerful significance for humanity across time and space. Author and educator Kenneth McIntosh has been on a personal journey chasing after Jack-in-the-Green in Ireland, the British Isles, Europe, and America, resulting in his new book The Secret of the Green Man’s Soul. This presentation will combine teaching, storytelling, images, video, and coloring activity (optional) as we pursue this forest trickster from ancient Rome to a 21st century news controversy, from Paganism to Islam, Christianity, and Eco-Spirituality; in Medieval Cathedrals, timeless rituals, Pilgrim Trails, and nearly-forgotten tales. He connects ancestral awareness with scientific discoveries of a living, conscious reality found in the world of nature. Come face-to-face with the Green Man; learn, share, and open yourself to his transforming power.
