Florida Talks with Florida Humanities: "Exploring Florida's Sacred Waters"
About this Event
"Exploring Florida's Sacred Waters"
Drawing from the concept of ‘spirituality’ and the environmental humanities, this program explores how Floridians can understand the state’s waters within the context of the sacred, the holy, or the divine. By gathering historical outlooks and present-day environmental movements, Dr. Victoria Machado examines the cultural connections Floridians have to water and various environmental practices these connections inspire.
