Understanding the Fullness of Joy: The Spirituality of Julian of
Norwich
‘Astonishingly whole and extraordinarily modern’, Julian of Norwich offers profound insights and encouragement for our spiritual life in the 21st century. In their joyfulness, affirmation of the goodness of creation, earthy, embodied spirituality and image of a ‘courteous’, ‘merry’ and’ loving’ God, her teachings offer a rich resource for the inner journey and the search for a spirituality which integrates body and spirit. Integral to our exploration of these themes will be Julian’s understanding of contemplative prayer which, in her words ‘oneth the soul to God’.
