Summary

This is a repost of a Scala Foundation webinar in anticipation of the upcoming Scala Conference in April 2023. The topic of our discussion was Mary and the Burning Bush, so we discussed Mary, the Mother of Christ, and her symbolic significance in Christianity, how she relates to revelation, veiling, body, art, the role and power of the feminine, community, and much more. The Scala Conference will be held at Princeton Seminary, where I will be exchanging with Aidan Hart and other speakers on 21-22 April 2023: Art, the Sacred, and the Common Good: https://conference.scalafoundation.org/ Youtube version with timestamps: https://youtu.be/A68n2M4iFFY Original webinar: Scala Foundation: Margarita Mooney Clayton and Jonathan Pageau on Sacred Art: https://youtu.be/_Wr4j7jGfbQ =============== - The Symbolic World website and blog: www.thesymbolicworld.com - Merch: www.thesymbolicworld.store - Language of Creation, by Matthieu Pageau: www.amazon.com/Language-Creation…ook/dp/B07D738HD8 Support this podcast: - Website: https://thesymbolicworld.com/support/ - Patreon: www.patreon.com/pageauvideos - Subscribestar: www.subscribestar.com/jonathan-pageau - Paypal: www.paypal.me/JonathanPageau Join the conversation: - Unofficial Facebook discussion group: www.facebook.com/groups/1989208418065298/ - The Symbolic World Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/TheSymbolicWorld/ Social media links: - Facebook: www.facebook.com/TheSymbolicWorld - Twitter: www.twitter.com/pageaujonathan - Instagram: www.instagram.com/jonathan.pageau My intro was arranged and recorded by Matthew Wilkinson.

0:03.0	Like, she's the source of body.
0:05.0	I don't know who else to say it.
0:07.0	And so because of that, she's the one who gave body to Christ.
0:11.0	Maybe that's the best way to think of that.
0:13.0	If you understand, it's like, Christ's body doesn't come from anywhere else besides her.
0:18.0	Like, that's out of which his body comes. And so she becomes a stand-in for the church
0:24.7	for all of us. She's a standing for all of us. That is, she is that which gathers us,

1:36.7	This is Jonathan Peugeot.
1:39.0	Welcome to the symbolic world. Thank you. Let me begin. My name is Margarita Mooney Clayton. I am the founder and director of Scala Foundation,
