Encountering Mary Magdalene Past and Present
A Lecture/Interactive Workshop with Kayleen Asbo
Hosted By
Fish Interfaith Center
Department of Religious Studies at Wilkinson College
Kayleen Asbo is a passionate scholar—a cultural historian, musician, writer and teacher who weaves myth, music, psychology, history and art with experiential learning. Dr. Asbo’s doctoral research culminated in her “Passion and Paradox: The Myths of Mary Magdalene in Music, Art and Culture.” A faculty member of the Pacifica Graduate Institute and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, she also regularly teaches for the Osher Life Long Learning Institutes at UC Berkeley, Sonoma State University, and Dominican University and leads pilgrimages to sacred sites in Europe, including the south of France to “Walk in the Footsteps of Mary Magdalene.” Join us for an afternoon as Dr. Abso leads us through a labyrinth of history, art, interactive experiences and sacred music in search of the truth about Mary Magdalene’s role in the early days of Christianity and what she has to teach us about surviving—and thriving—in these complex times.
