This talk is entited Crafting Souls: Mysticism and Creative Practice. It is presented by the University of Calgary's Department of Classics and Religion.

Speaker, Dr. Harri Hudspith, Associate Lecturer in Visual Culture at the University of the West of England, is an artist and practice-based researcher who uses drawing, writing, installation, and performance to think about histories and questions of language, body, and knowledge.

Mysticism has long been associated with notions of religious experience, altered states of consciousness, and experiences beyond rational control. In a Christian context, the term conjures images of Divine union, ecstatic levitations, locutions, and ineffable revelations.

This lecture will rethink mysticisms as practices of crafting or making souls through actions of imagination, reading, prayer, and writing.
