"From Fear to Love"

Begins July 16, 2022

FREE 5-Part Summer Video Series

We live in trying times. Despite the unbelievable advances in almost every area of life, life is unavoidably anxious, stressful, and unpredictable.

Admittedly, we can’t do much to change the ways of the world, but we can offer an amazing new series of five practical and profound meditational videos that will help anchor and sustain you during these difficult days.

Beginning July 16, the Henri Nouwen Society is delighted to present “From Fear to Love: Spiritual Grounding in Anxious Times” with Rev. Marjorie J. Thompson. We gratefully acknowledge the generous support of the Ross Mitchell Family Foundation.

Every week for five weeks, we will introduce a FREE new video on our HNS YouTube channel. Each video is designed to offer you insights and practices on how to enrich, deepen, and strengthen your spiritual life, and how to better cope with the stresses that threaten to erode your physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing.
