Grow closer to God through Solitude, Silence, and Prayer.
About this Event

“Thus, silence is the discipline by which the inner fire of God is tended and kept alive.” — Henri Nouwen

Let us take some time this Lent to enjoy the spirituality of the desert fathers and mothers. We will use the short book, The Way of the Heart, by Henri Nouwen, as our guide. This program includes three in-person sessions as well as two short recorded videos to bookend the series.

The in-person sessions are every two weeks on the following Tuesdays, from 9am to 11:30am: February 24, March 10, and March 24, 2026.

Each session will explore a section of the book, starting with solitude, then silence, and finally prayer. Additionally, time will be allotted for experiencing these spiritual disciplines as well as some guided (optional) small group sharing. Participants are asked to secure a copy of the book The Way of the Heart, by Henri Nouwen.

Registration is requested by February 9, 2026.
