Details

🔹 PUBLIC LECTURE 🔹 | From My Big Toe to the Black Madonna

🧘‍♀️ Presented by Nigelle de Visme
📅 7:30 PM | Wednesday 3 September 2025
📍 Brisbane Theosophical Society

🔹 LECTURE CONTENT 🔹
In 1992, Father Bede Griffiths stayed with Nigelle in Silkstone and entrusted a task: to follow his journey to the Black Madonna. With guidance from Sufi mystic Mrs Irina Tweedie, the path gradually unfolded. Nigelle invites you to share her journey.

🔹 WHO IS NIGELLE?🔹
Nigelle de Visme, raised across Malaya, Australia, England, and India, left the Church of England Sunday School at seven after being told animals had no souls. Like Kipling’s Cat, she sought a God who loved all beings—finding echoes in Catholic mysticism, Black Madonnas, and the Mystery of which Blavatsky wrote: “When Time was not... Darkness alone filled the Boundless All.“

Tea, Coffee and Conversation to follow!
