The Wisdom of the English Mystics – Julian of Norwich, Evelyn Underhill, and more
February 18 @ 9:00 am – 10:00 am PST
A Free Online Conversation with Carl McColman
The spiritual landscape of England has given rise to some of the most enduring voices within the world’s mystical traditions—figures such as Julian of Norwich, Evelyn Underhill, C.S. Lewis, William Blake, and others whose wisdom continues to speak with surprising clarity today.
In this free, one-hour online gathering, spiritual director and Mystics scholar Carl McColman will guide us in exploring the heart of this tradition through the lens of spiritual direction and companionship. Together, we’ll reflect on how these mystics understood prayer, imagination, suffering, joy, and the attentive listening that lies at the center of the spiritual life.
Come for an hour of reflection, conversation, and shared listening—rooted in an ancient tradition that continues to offer guidance for our lives today.
