Convent Wisdom: How Sixteenth-Century Nuns Could Save Your Twenty-First-Century Life

 
Hay Festival 2026, 

An evening filled with sixteenth-century wisdom, laughter and hope for our anxiety-ridden contemporary lives. No matter what the century, nuns know best!

When most of us think of nuns, we picture cloistered halls and hands clasped in prayer. But what about the nuns who erupted into jealous fights over makeup or crushed on their girlfriends? These women were no one-dimensional martyrs. Scholars, podcasters and best friends Ana Garriga and Carmen Urbita lift the veil on monastic life, sharing the infectiously edifying advice of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century nuns, with writer Kim Sherwood

Resourceful, rebellious and refreshingly relatable, the nuns offer guidance on everything from procrastination to imposter syndrome, friendship drama to creativity slumps – with a wink and a prayer.
