Drawing on decades of research and embodied practice, she reveals how devotional music, ritual drumming, and ecstatic dance open gateways for healing the heart and soul.
Explore the Sacred Traditions of Southern Italy
Through rare footage never before shown outside Italy, participants are invited into a world where ritual and magic are still alive. From Sicily to Campania, we encounter the sacred sites of the Black Madonnas known as the Seven Sisters.
Experience the rhythms of the tammurriata, the haunting beauty of women’s chant, and the vibrant feast day celebrations. These Black Madonna ancient healing traditions are rooted in ancient women’s wisdom and the veneration of the Earth Mother, carrying echoes of:
- Cybele
- Isis
- Ancient mother goddesses
This participatory journey reveals how the Black Madonna remains a source of protection, healing, and liberation, especially for those on the margins.
