Sacred Practices with Jane Austen

This autumn, join Margaret H. Willison (beloved Not Sorry faculty member and life-long Austen devotee) for six weeks of sacred reading in community focused on the works of Jane Austen. Following the pattern set by our successful Sacred Practices with Harry Potter course, Margaret will guide participants in this class through all six of Jane Austen’s novels (one per session) employing a variety of sacred reading tools. While familiarity with Austen’s novels, sacred practices, or both will be helpful to participants, neither is required. If you’ve never read Mansfield Park or heard of “floralegium,” you’re still welcome here: this class is about developing the muscle of sacred practice and building community, so your only necessary prerequisites are a warm heart and an open mind.
