Jesus came to Galilee: Imaginative Contemplation: Mark 1:14-15 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A 22-minute audio guided meditation in Mark's Gospel, in the contemplative Christian tradition.

Read excerpt
An 18-minute audio guided meditation in Mark's Gospel, drawing on the contemplative Christian tradition. John the Baptiser appears in the wilderness with clarity of mind and heart and speech. He offers those who come the "baptism of metanoia". Metanoia comes from two greek words: 'meta' which means after or beyond and 'noein' which means perception or way of thinking.
