Meinrad Craighead: Praying with Images, an hour-long documentary, offers an introduction to the lifelong pilgrimage of Meinrad Craighead and her mystical encounters with the Divine Feminine. As she explains the dreams and shamanic journeys that have often been the inspiration for her art, viewers will be introduced images of the Divine Mother that have appeared around the globe throughout human history. Subsequent programs focusing on the Black Madonna and on Craighead’s lifelong fascination with animals as the sacred emissaries of divine messages will be introduced in this initial program.
