Out of the Fog: Mirabai Starr on Julian of Norwich's Divine Feminine Wisdom

What can a 14th century English mystic teach us about living through times of pandemic and turbulence? Mirabai Starr joins me to talk about how Julian of Norwich’s “Revelations of Divine Love” brings sacred feminine wisdom and an invitation to respond with an open heart to even the most difficult circumstances.
