Christie's Writing
The Beautiful Human:
Contemplative wisdom for moving beyond diet culture to create a life of real and lasting beauty
​ Right now, The Beautiful Human is an e-book you can request for free, and an audio version is being uploaded gradually from a previous platform. You could think of this as Buddhist recovery for disordered eating and body image obsession. Stay tuned for more info, and let Rev Christie know if you're interested in a weekly "Beautiful Human" group for Buddhist recovery around body image, diet culture, body justice, chronic dieting and disordered eating! Health permitting, she'll be offering that for 60-90 minutes once a week in 2025!

Accepting Your Resurrection
"Opening with an invocation and closing with a benediction, this book offers eight meditations on words that have too often been used to serve fear – repentance, humility, piety, acceptance, compassion, justice, loyalty and perfection."
My first book, Accepting Your Resurrection, was written during the time in my life that I most often spoke the language of contemplative Christianity. Although I no longer primarily speak that language, the book remains as as a practical and helpful resource for those who do, so I continue to make it available here, where you can get it in ebook or paperback.
