Baraka began painting images of the sacred feminine in the early 1990s. She will be speaking about what led her on this path and the project she’s been working on for the past decade, "Women of the Celts." This project will be developed into an oracle card deck with text by author Kathleen McGowan in 2025.

Baraka will share her images and the mixed-media monotype process that she uses to bring forth her Celtic women of history and myth. She will speak about how working with these archetypes has affected her artwork and enriched her life; and how, if we’re so inclined, we each can use archetypal beings in our own lives for growth and inspiration.

About Baraka: Baraka Robin Berger is a painter/printmaker living in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Graduating from Boston University’s School of Fine Arts in 1970, her work has been a journey from the traditional to the mystical. Baraka believes that beauty is essential to our well-being. The intention behind her artwork is to bring beauty into life as a healing force. Her Emerging Goddesses, Mystical Landscapes and Personal Energy Portraits have been collected by healing professionals and shown in galleries throughout the country.

“I hold the belief that if we simply surround ourselves with beauty, we will learn to expect it. Out of this expectation we will turn around and create more beauty. What’s possible is this: The world will become a magnificent place.”
