The Mysticism of Julian of Norwich

Julian of Norwich is the kind of mystic you’d like to have living next door. Much like our own, Julian’s time was one of war, religious  conflict, natural disasters, and pandemic – so she understood a thing or two about suffering. Her confidence in God’s motherly love & goodness provided a powerful antidote to the pessimism and chaos surrounding her.

Join us for a Lenten mini-retreat as we explore Julian of Norwich’s down-to-earth, feminist theology using guided meditation, discussion, and writing – learning to better appreciate how a hazelnut, like all creation, "endures and ever will endure, because God loves it."
