"Springs of water will burst out in the wilderness, streams flow in the desert. Hot sands will become a cool oasis, thirsty ground a splashing fountain."

Is. 35:6-7, The Message

Henri Nouwen still speaks so strongly because he embodied an activist’s energy and a contemplative’s heart. In this day apart, we follow Henri’s rhythms of exhilaration and exhaustion—and mine the gifts in each. The leader will draw from Nouwen’s classic books and clips from his PBS documentary, Journey of the Heart. You may bring a favorite Nouwen excerpt (one or two paragraphs, copied for all), to weave into contemplative readings and silences. A highlight: Imagine Henri Nouwen as your mentor in relation to an issue you bring.
