Caregiving from the Heart
Audio Recordings
Caregivers, whether professional or personal, know the joys and anguish of providing care for one another. Henri Nouwen, in much of his writing, offers a perspective of caregiving that sets the heart's inner compass in a life-giving direction. In this audio recording of an event sponsored by The Upper Room and the Henri Nouwen Society, Gordon Peerman and Marjorie Thompson engage in a conversation about their own experience with caregiving, Henri's writing, and Henri's life-giving perspective on caregiving. Seminar content will draw from A Spirituality of Caregiving, published by Upper Room Books and edited by John Mogabgab.
This event is designed for caregivers and receivers of all kinds, whether professional or personal. Listening in on this rich conversation will offer comfort, courage, and inspiration for your spirit.
