Imagine two kindred souls meeting across centuries—one, a 12th-century saint named Hildegard of Bingen, and the other, a modern-day indigenous healer, Grandmother Esperanza. Both women, though separated by time, share a profound connection through their love of nature and unwavering faith.

In a recent episode of The Robyn Ivy Podcast, my dear friend Ines and I explored the spiritual kinship between Esperanza and Hildegard. Both women embody a divine presence that bridges the gap between the earthly and the ethereal, showing us the power of deep spiritual connection.

But why are we sharing their story with you, Grace? Because in witnessing such connections, we see endless possibilities for our own personal and spiritual growth. These encounters remind us that transformation is on the horizon when we open ourselves to learning from those who have tread the path of love and devotion before us.

This June you’re invited to journey with us to Germany's Rhine River Valley for a 5 day retreat combining the teachings and healing of Grandmother Esperanza with visits to the sacred sites of Hildegard. Step into transformative experiences, and create spiritual connections that will guide you toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

MORE ABOUT INES REIMERS

Ines Reimers (59), mother of two adult sons, has left her 35-year-long career in the judicial system of Germany only last year to follow her heart. She has found her love to nature and through this began to follow the spiritual path when she experienced the healing qualities of just being in the forest.

In 2017 she discovered the transformative effects of Nonviolent Communication (M. Rosenberg) on relationships and since 2020 gives trainings herself. She is also a mentor to women in leadership positions and as a certified mediator helping couples and families with their conflicts.

This year she accomplished a training as a nature coach to introduce nature to all parts of her work. She lives with her partner and dog Sammy in Mainz (near Frankfurt), a region near where St. Hildegard of Bingen used to live in the 12th century. Deeply interested in the life and work of this extraordinary woman of her time she became spiritually connected and offers seminars to share the legacy of her sacred spirit.
