8 lectures:
"Memory"
"Chastity part 2"

"Care"
"Celibacy"

Audio recording from a panel/discussion/conference:
1981 Spirituality Forum: "The Spiritual Life: A Christian Perspective"

The lecture for "Compassion and Vincent van Gogh" was given sometime in 1976 as part of a lecture series on Creative Expression of Religious Issues. The content of the lecture came out of Nouwen's course "Ministry in Non-Religious Institutions" which tried to articulate "what it would be like to be a compassionate person in a power hungry society."
