What does the spiritual life look like? And where can we find it? Using Nouwen as a guide, we will start by trying to detect its presence (or absence) in our own lives and in the communities to which we belong; only then will we be in a position to see how we can minister to others. Based on both Nouwen’s published works and on unpublished material from the Nouwen Archives, this course will include a visit from members of the L’Arche Daybreak community where Nouwen spent the last 10 years of his life.
