SPA FOR THE SPIRIT Retreat Morning
Spa for the Spirit – November 2nd - All
Saints Retreat
“Julian of Norwich – and the Saints in our Lives”
We are excited to welcome Dr.
Fred Roden, Associate Professor of English at UConn-Stamford, as our
retreat leader this November. Dr. Roden will lead meditations on Julian of
Norwich, the 14th century English mystic and anchoress whose
spiritual insights are surprisingly contemporary. With Julian as a
starting point, we will also explore the saints who enrich our lives, living
and departed.

Dr. Roden earned his Ph.D from New York University and is the
author of numerous books and articles, among them a commentary edition of
Julian of Norwich entitled Love's Trinity. At UConn-Stamford he teaches for the
Women's Studies Program and also offers courses in Holocaust Literature.
He received the UConn AAUP award for Teaching Excellence, and his research in
lesbian/gay studies has been recognized for distinction at UConn and elsewhere.
Our retreat morning will begin, as always, with a scrumptious
breakfast at 8:30 at Christ the Healer.
