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

Thursday, May 14 – Saturday, May 16, 2026

St. Michael’s College, University of Toronto, ON. Canada 

To mark the 30th anniversary of Henri’s Nouwen’s death and celebrate his continuing impact, we will gather to reflect on how his writings provide insight into how we might offer a healing response to the many challenges facing us in this, the third decade of the 21st century. In the face of global crises — political, environmental, mass poverty and emotional and physical health — Henri’s lifetime of spiritual and psychological exploration offers rich paths for consideration in our own spiritual and emotional journeys.

With notable keynote speakers and a variety of workshops and seminars focusing on such topics as Spirituality and Theology; Art and Culture; Ministry and Caregiving; and Global Challenges, this conference will have something for everyone.

This special event will bring together Henri Nouwen followers of all types to explore the impact of his work on our lives, relationships and spirituality.
