Introduction to Contemplative Prayer
Full Access to 3 hours of Chuck’s reflections - $25
My work has always been about what is deepest within us – the liberation of it, the revelation of God through it. The profound tragedy is that many are somehow cut off from the deep wellspring of the heart, the ever-present intimacy of Love.
My life’s commitment is to this reconnection, and it’s grounded in the Augustinian truth that God never, ever leaves us – it’s we that leave. God’s always up for your return, ready to welcome, eager to engage the hard work of dying and rising into freedom.
I hope that, through my teaching videos, I can be a helpful guide on your journey.
Introduction to
Contemplative Prayer
3 hours of teaching in 5 topical videos along with resources and practices.
This course invites you into contemplative spirituality and practice in the Christian tradition. In the five videos, we explore the basics of contemplative prayer, the core theological value of “letting go,” the neuroscientific basis for it, the invitation to wholeheartedness, and the resource of contemplative prayer for our action in the world. Each video offers 30-40 minutes of teaching, along with practices to engage in-between sessions. The resources I offer come with dynamic links to books, videos, websites, and other important pathways for your further journey.
