AN EVENING WITH DR. MARY CONDREN
At St. Brigid's Centre for the Arts and Humanities
(St. Patrick at Cumberland)
$20 General Admission / Free for Festival Members

Dr. Mary Condren is a pioneer in the renaissance of Celtic Mythology. Her revolutionary work, The Serpent and the Goddess: Women, Religion and Power in Celtic Ireland, is a landmark in the study of world culture. In our reimagination of the world Dr. Condren suggests a way forward that acknowledges the past and embraces the new millennium. Power, sexuality and economics are forever entwined in our contemporary narrative. Join us in a celebration of life and an evening of widening rings of being.

Presented by St. Brigid's Centre for the Arts and Humanities with the support of the Writers Festival, Carleton University's College of the Humanities-Religion, and Ottawa University's Department of Classics and Religious Studies and Faculty of Arts.
