The Mysticism of Julian of Norwich

Julian of Norwich was a solitary from late fourteenth century, living through a time of epidemic (the Black Death), social upheaval (the Peasant’s Revolt) and repeated military conflict (the Hundred Years War) – a time of uncertainty not unlike our own and yet she had a message of hope and reassurance. This weekend retreat will look at the Sixteen ‘Showings’ or ‘Revelations’ she received as a young woman and her reflection on their meaning during the time of voluntary ‘lockdown’ as an Anchoress that she chose afterwards. We will explore how the meaning she distills is very helpful and relevant for us today – teaching us how to trust that ‘All will be well.’
