Modern Wisdom

from Julian of Norwich

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Using the book, "Julian of Norwich: Wisdom in a Time of Pandemic--and Beyond" by famed writer, Matthew Fox, we'll look at the life and theology of the great feminist mystic, Julian of Norwich.

Julian lived through a time of pandemic and turmoil, and was able to remind us that "all shall be well" through her visions and teachings, which were well ahead of their time. These classes take the book as our guide for deep discussions, thought-provoking images and interviews, and further teachings on Julian which stretch beyond the page and into our modern lives. This will help you learn how to stay centered in difficult times.
