Program Title:	NOUWEN RETREAT: Entering the mystery of the Presence & Absence of God
Event Date:	January 26-30, 2009
Program Description:	Counted among the most prolific and engaging spiritual masters of the 20th century, Henri Nouwen brings spiritual travelers to the depths of both the joys and struggles of our relationship with God, others and self. A recurring theme throughout his spiritual writing is our experience of the "presence and absence" of God, and how we negotiate this tension. Using passages from Nouwen's writing, our retreat will stretch our souls to meet God, Christ and Spirit both when we are "overwhelmed by a deep sense of God's presence...and we are left with the painful sense of emptiness and can only experience God as the absent God."
