→detail
Hearn’s open mind cultivated in European climates, especially in Greece and Ireland was further developed and enriched to more open spirit through his trips to the U.S., Martinique and Japan. It may be said that the basis of his open mind was formed by his attitude in his childhood to learn and get familiarized with Hellenistic polytheism on his mother’s side and the Celtic spiritual world on his father’s side.
The internaional symposium will be held at Lefkada, the place of his birth, in July, 2014, aiming at interpreting Hearn’s ‘Open Mind’, focusing how Hearn’s spirit developed by receiving a variety of influences of different cultures in his journey through life.
