In our current series of podcasts, we are exploring the topic of contemplation. What does contemplation mean and how does it impact the way we show up in the world? I’m hoping that these conversations will be a contemplative experience, so I invite you to join us, engage and be open as we discuss our guest’s spiritual journey and contemplative experiences.
My guest today is...
Esther Hizsa
"Just sit there and let me love you," Esther heard God say to her in silence many years ago. "That invitation anchors me to this day, and I hope that in my writing and in spiritual direction and retreats, others will hear God's loving invitation too."
Esther is a writer, spiritual director (trained through (SoulStream) and co-facilitator of SoulStream’s Living from the Heart course. She is also a mother, grandmother and wife married for 43 years to her husband, Fred. She and Fred live in Burnaby and love the outdoors, spending as much time as they can hiking in the mountains, biking in wide open spaces, and walking in the woods or by the sea. Esther is the author of three books and a blog, An Everyday Pilgrim.

The Prayer of Imagination with the Story Zacchaeus. (Listen below)
Esther says the exercise is not about studying the story. It’s about putting ourselves in the story, letting it unfold, and seeing what happens.
Esther reads the story and then invites us to imagine ourselves in the story. What do we see? What do we hear? What is it like to be noticed and spoken to by Jesus?
