The Unruly Mystics

Welcome to The Unruly Mystic: A Sanctuary for Spirituality, Nature, and Curiosity.

Explore the lives and legacies of history’s most "unruly" visionaries—those who looked beyond the ordinary to find the divine. From the 12th-century visions and healing "Viriditas" of Saint Hildegard of Bingen to the wild, sacred landscapes protected by John Muir, we celebrate the rebels who found God in music, nature, and the creative spirit. COMING SOON: We are currently in post production for our third film: The Unruly Mystic: Albert Einstein. This new film will explore the profound connection between scientific curiosity and spirituality, bridging the gap between Einstein’s "cosmic religious feeling" and the mystical experiences of the past.

Join our global community for:
Discussions on natural healing, "Divine Medicine," and environmental stewardship.

Subscribe to stay updated on our upcoming Einstein project and explore our library of mystical journeys.

Join Mr. Michael Conti in Walking in the Footsteps of Saint Hildegard September 12 – 22, 2026! While it is impossible to predict if traveling this year is the right choice for everyone, a small-group tour is currently available to walk in the "Footsteps of Saint Hildegard." This may provide a life-changing opportunity. This year is also significant due to the international groups attending the feast day. Such opportunities arise only when individuals share a common purpose, regardless of borders or language.

For those of you who appreciate my exploration of Hildegard's connection to the natural world, you might also find my previous videos on John Muir interesting. I've added them to the channel – you can find them in the playlist section. For both, the natural world held a sense of the sacred. Hildegard's visions often incorporated natural imagery, suggesting a divine presence within creation. Muir explicitly articulated the spiritual value of wilderness, seeing it as essential for human well-being and a place to connect with something larger than oneself.
