Longing for Home: The Prophetic Witness of Henri Nouwen in a Wounded World

The Henri Nouwen Society is partnering with St. Michael’s to host its International Conference this spring. Longing for Home is for all who carry a longing for healing, connection, and hope in a hurting world. Whether you are a pastor, spiritual director, therapist, caregiver, educator, parent, artist, concerned citizen, or spiritual seeker, you are invited to join a community of fellow travelers inspired by the prophetic witness of the Dutch Catholic priest Henri Nouwen. Together, we will explore what it means to create “home” — places of belonging, compassion, and courage — in our lives, ministries, and communities. If you are drawn to Nouwen’s vision of vulnerability, hospitality, and the transformative power of love, this conference will offer space for reflection, renewal, and deep conversation with others who share your longing to be a healing presence in the world.
