Why a Julian
of Norwich Center?
Julian of Norwich stayed in a hermit's cell serving as an anchoress.
The cell had a window to the church and altar, and a window to
the outside for passersby who came to seek counsel. Julian's relationship
to the church serves as a metaphor for my ministry through the
Center, as it is a place connected to the church, but on the side
of the church to offer quiet and confidentiality for those who
come.
What is the
mission of the Julian of Norwich Center?
The mission of the Julian of Norwich Center is to offer a space
to grow more deeply in relationship with God. This is accomplished
by providing spiritual direction to individuals and groups, and
teaching about contemplative prayer and the stages of the spiritual
journey.
What is the
honorarium for services for services offered by the Center?
$50 - $80 for a monthly appointment between 1 and 1-1/4 hours in
length.
