SUMMARY:Valley Talk - The Wizard of the Wissahickon: The Life and Legacy of Johannes Kelpius with Timothy Grieve-Carlson\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:In person at the Valley Green Inn or online on Zoom\nIf you’ve spent any time in Wissahickon Valley Park\, you’ve probably walked past the Cave of Kelpius and taken a moment to read the paragraph written on the weird obelisk next to it. Maybe you’ve even googled the name “Kelpius” and learned that he was the leader of the first American “doomsday cult.” Unfortunately\, most of that information is wrong.\nThis talk is going to present research from my new book\, American Aurora: Environment and Apocalypse in the Life of Johannes Kelpius\, where I dig into the history of Johannes Kelpius\, a tremendously influential but comprehensively misunderstood radical Protestant theologian from Transylvania who settled in what is now Wissahickon Valley Park in 1694. Far from being the leader of a “doomsday cult\,” Kelpius was a Christian hermit who remained socially engaged with his neighbors in Philadelphia and cultivated a unique religious interpretation of the Wissahickon Valley and the natural world.\nTimothy Grieve-Carlson\, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor and the Gibson Drinko Chair in the Department of Religion and Philosophy at Westminster College in New Wilmington\, Pennsylvania. He earned his Ph.D. in Religious Studies from Rice University in Houston\, Texas in 2022. Timothy was also a 2021-2022 Fellow at the McNeil Center for Early American Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. His research focuses on the relationship between environmental phenomena and religious practice. His book American Aurora: Environment and Apocalypse in the Life of Johannes Kelpius (Oxford University Press 2024) explores environmental knowledge and apocalyptic thought in the religion of the early modern mid-Atlantic world. His academic writing has appeared in journals like American Religion\, Journal for the Study of Religion\, Nature\, and Culture\, Correspondences: A Journal of Esotericism\, and Magic\, Ritual\, and Witchcraft.\nRegister here to attend in-person at the Valley Green Inn.\nRegister here to attend online on Zoom.\nThank you to our presenting sponsor\, Univest Financial

If you’ve walked along the Orange Trail south of Livezey Dam\, you’ve been transported by the wonder of form and function of Fingerspan\, a landmark structure in the park since 1987 which was commissioned by the Association for Public Art. Discover its inspiration\, design\, and the passionate community members who collaborated to build and install this steel bridge.\nJody Pinto lives and works in New York City\, but she was born into a family of Philadelphia artists. After receiving a BFA from Philadelphia College of Art\, she studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Arts (PAFA)\, where she was a critic in its graduate program\, started the first visiting artist program to bring contemporary artists to speak at the school\, and taught for 40 years. In 1983\, Jody was among the recipients of the Thomas Hazlett Memorial Awards for Excellence in the Arts in Pennsylvania. In the years since Fingerspan’s installation in 1987\, Jody has made public works in Japan\, Israel\, and across the United States. Her work is represented in many collections\, including PAFA\, the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Locks Gallery\, Woodmere\, the Guggenheim Museum\, the Whitney Museum of American Art\, the Museum of Modern Art\, and the National Gallery of Art. Today\, Jody\, 83\, is working on an upcoming museum show.
