Claire Gilbert

Claire Gilbert, an author and founding director of the Westminster Abbey Institute, dives into the wisdom of medieval mystic Julian of Norwich. She discusses how Julian's 'Revelations of Divine Love' continue to resonate with modern spiritual seekers. The conversation explores the themes of suffering as a pathway to growth, the intersection of femininity and spirituality, and the timeless appeal of Julian's insights amidst contemporary challenges. Claire also highlights the need for authenticity in faith and the relevance of contemplation in today's fast-paced world.

Dr. Claire Gilbert, a writer and ethicist with deep ties to spirituality and ecology, shares her transformative journey through faith and personal trials. In contrast, Harry Amos, a philosopher and former Christian, debates the soul's existence using science and consciousness studies. They explore everything from neuroscience and dualism to the spiritual essence of dogs and the ineffable nature of spiritual experiences. This engaging dialogue challenges listeners to reflect on the meaning of life, consciousness, and human connection.
