When most people think of Transylvania, they imagine Dracula — a gloomy castle, a pale count, and a story of terror that has haunted Western culture for over a century. But what if this famous myth was never just about vampires? What if it was a clever disguise that helped erase an entire civilization’s sacred heritage? Join medical art psychotherapist & artist Isabelle Rizo to hear about her investigation into how the legend of Dracula became intertwined with Transylvania’s identity — and how this association has obscured a much older and far more astonishing truth. Her research traces the region’s cultural roots back to the Neolithic era, when Transylvania was home to some of Europe’s earliest matriarchal societies.
