Please explore the articles and videos on this page as you and your church explore how best to become a church of “contemplatives in action.”
Thanks to the many persons below who lovingly put time into creating these resources for our Contemplatives in Action website, and for their permission to post these articles/videos here.
In these four video sessions “Give Birth to Christ Within” Gabrielle Chavez takes us on an extraordinary deep dive into Christian initiation from an unexpected angle. Beginning with biblical story, she weaves wisdom from esoteric tradition, science, and art, mixing all together to show that from all of these positions we can arrive at exactly the same place, the transformational effect on our world that is the incarnation of Christ in creation, Jesus of Nazareth, and ourselves. Each lesson includes a simple but profound spiritual practice that enables us to make our own discoveries. “Give Birth to Christ Within” is the first part of a series on the five Christian initiations which Gabrielle teaches online and in person.
