Meninger says, “Julian of Norwich, a 14th century English recluse, has blossomed forth from the solitude of her hermitage to become a spiritual director for the world. Almost unknown for 600 years, she is now recognized as one of the foremost mystical theologians produced by the English church.” You will hear Fr. Meninger’s reflections on Julian’s Showings of Divine Love and have an opportunity to ask questions and to purchase his book.
Fr. William Meninger is a Trappist monk, author and internationally-known teacher and Master Retreat Leader of contemplative prayer and spiritual formation. He has been studying, practicing and teaching forms of contemplative prayer and spiritual disciplines for over 40 years. He lives most of the year at St. Benedict's Monastery in Snowmass CO, leaving only a few times a year for special teaching engagements.

More about Father Meninger
Father William was born, raised and educated in the Boston area in Massachusetts. His mother was born and raised in County
Kerry and his father was a Quaker from Pennsylvania. Ordained in 1958, after 8 years in St. John's Seminary, he was incardinated into the Diocese of Yakima, Washington. where he worked on an Indian Reservation and with Mexican traveling workers for 6 years. In 1963 he entered the Trappists at St. Joseph's Abbey in Spencer, Massachusetts, where he served in the guest house for 15 years, taught
Scripture, liturgy and patristics; served as subprior, prior and dean of the junior professed monks.
In 1979 he was transferred to a daughter house, St. Benedicts Monastery in Snowmass, Colorado, where he served as Prior, vocation director, novice master, and teacher of theology and scripture. He spent 3 years in Israel where he studied scripture and taught at the Center for
Biblical Studies in Jerusalem and at the Trappist Monastery of Latroun.
Father William also completed graduate studies at Seattle University, Harvard Divinity School, and Boston University. In 1974 he originated the workshop on Contemplative Meditation (later known as Centering Prayer) which he now teaches worldwide along with workshops on Forgiveness, the Enneagram, Sacred Scriptures, and Prayer. He leaves the monastery only 4 times each year to do this lest he lose his own monastic orientation while sharing it with others.
