What makes us human is not our mind
BUT OUR HEART,
Not our ability to think but our ability
TO LOVE.

Join online Community Events
Over the past several years, the Henri Nouwen Society has been able to sponsor, co-sponsor and advertise a number of seminars, workshops, webinars and retreats across North America. These events are an occasion for people from all walks of life to explore spiritual themes that emerge in the writings of Henri Nouwen.
Most recently, the Henri Nouwen Society produced, in partnership with World Vision, the 5-part video series A Spirituality of Fundraising: For those Who Give & Raise Funds. This event brought together philanthropists and fundraisers for honest and rich conversations about spiritual postures and practices for health and sustainability.
