Julianne Davidow is a writer, college writing instructor, and certified coach with the International Coach Federation.
Her writing has been published in literary journals and online publications, and her first book Outer Beauty, Inner Joy: Contemplating the Soul of the Renaissance (with a foreword by renowned author Thomas Moore) was published in 2010. Her next book will be an historical novel that takes place in Renaissance Italy.
"Some have seen the Renaissance as a time when our modern ideas about the nature of reality began, a time when the belief in other levels of existence began to fade away and the knowledge that came from scientific experiment taught us to “know better”–that is, to believe we can understand everything scientifically based on material ideas alone. But I find in the study of the Renaissance a harkening back to a time when the world was filled with poetry, mythology, and mystery–a time when everything was said to be connected, when everything was said to be divine, each part a mysterious spark of the whole."
