The Cloud of Unknowing in Our Time

Thursday, February 17  | 7:00 pm (EST) (virtual option available)

Fee: $20, or whatever you can afford

The mystical tradition is intimately connected with the real lives of the mystics who wrote about their experiences. Some of our most beautiful and profound traditions came about in times very similar to our own. Julian of Norwich and the author of the Cloud of Unknowing lived in a time of pandemic. This fact influenced their life and spirituality in profound ways that led to a deep experiential understanding of God. Join Bishop DeDe Duncan-Probe as she leads us in an examination of these important works and reflects on how we can take their lessons as our own. Suggested donation $20, or whatever you can afford.
