“In Initiations in Love, spiritual teacher Britta Eskey courageously shares the grittiest and loftiest moments from her lifelong spiritual quest, to bring us a powerfully loving and wise guide for the journey to embodying Real Love where it matters most. Through sharing the invitations of her own story, she invites you to mine for gold within your own. If you yearn to walk an authentic spiritual path in these complex times, this beautiful book will show you the way.”

~ Miranda Macpherson, author of The Way of Grace

“The image that comes to mind as I think of Britta Eskey’s story is that of a beach ball that, no matter how many times or how forcefully it gets pulled under the water, keeps popping up with energy and a splash. That energy has been Britta’s longing for a Love that corresponds to the cry of her heart, and her lifelong pursuit of that Love has been, as she describes it, “a living school.” The trials she has endured in this school would have caused anyone with less grit and courage to drop out. She has endured, and we, the readers of this book, are now the beneficiaries of her hard-earned and hard-learned lessons.”

~ Christopher West, ThD, President Theology of the Body Institute and author of Fill These Hearts: God, Sex, & the Universal Longing

“In Initiations in Love, Britta Eskey offers us a map to navigate life’s hardest question: How do we live as love, in the face of our suffering? This is a clear, relatable book, grounded in tools that transcend any belief system, yet are rooted in Britta’s fresh, deep embodiment of Catholicism. Any true Initiation in Love is a profound blessing, yet requires absolutely everything of us. As you are called to leave one way of being and enter wholeheartedly into the next, this book will equip you to walk fully and boldly across the threshold.”

~ LiYana Silver, author of Feminine Genius: The Provocative Path to Waking Up and Turning on the Wisdom of Being a Woman

“Britta Eskey’s Initiations in Love gives you a step-by-step, easy-to-understand guide for navigating the big challenges you face in life. It enables you to start dissolving the ego illusion that you are separate from the Divine and returns you to the Love that you truly are. Through being a participant in many of the workshops Britta developed, my life has completely transformed for the better. I was able to dissolve emotional blockages that I once thought were insurmountable. I highly recommend this book to you as an essential part of your journey of awakening.”

~ Nicolas David Ngan, Amazon #1 bestselling author of Your Soul Contract Decoded: Discovering the Spiritual Map of Your Life with Numerology

“Britta’s personable approach to embodied awakening, contained in Initiations in Love, is a priceless set of tools indeed.

For all seeking profound yet practical guidance on their spiritual journey, I highly recommend sitting with Britta’s brilliantly curated inquiries and invitations for self-practice.

“Britta has given us a gift in Initiations of Love. In this book, she allows us a glimpse into her life—the pain, joy, and challenges. She invites us to say yes to life in an authentic way, and to reexamine our definition of love of self, others, and God. With journaling prompts to help readers identify what might be calling them in their own life, Britta takes us beyond the lessons we learn from her story and into the lessons we can learn about our own.” 

~ Gina Birkemeier, LPC, NCC, and award-winning author of Generations Deep: Unmasking Inherited Dysfunction and Trauma to Rewrite Our Stories Through Faith and Therapy

“This book is about the journey of discovering, unfolding, and unveiling of Love in all it’s different shapes/colors/forms, through the messiness AND pure Divinity of humanity. It is an example of the perseverance, devotion, and humility encountered on the journey of Love. I love the journal prompts and recorded meditations that are woven into the book. The invitation to reflect on my own life’s stages and initiations was eye opening and provided a different lens from which to view my life… like looking through Grace’s lens with more compassion and understanding. The raw, beautiful, and sometimes messy unfoldings of Britta’s journey in love gave me a sort of permission and inspiration to view my own life honestly and vulnerably. Britta has her finger on the pulse of earthly human and Divine love! I would recommend this book to any spiritual seeker, anyone on the path of personal and spiritual growth, and those who feel a pull or resonance with the mystical side of Christianity. Initiations in Love is an intersection of Richard Rohr’s Essential Teachings on Love and the true, real-life inspired flavor of Paulo Coehlo’s The Witch of Portobello.”

~ Katie G., COR Community

“Through taking us on her unique spiritual odyssey, across continents and decades, and deep into her own soul’s search for Love, Britta Eskey beckons us readers to listen to our own lives for the call of God. Whether on a dance floor in an Indian ashram or at the foot of a crucifix in a monastery chapel, Britta’s experiences of divine Love, both painful and joyous, portray a fully embodied and open-hearted “Yes!” to Grace. The impact of her “Yes!” ripples out to her family, friends, loved ones and students in such beautiful and healing ways. Her memoir is certain to pique the interest of those who hunger and thirst for personal and spiritual transformation.”

~ Rev. Joannah Cook, MDiv, BCC, Chaplain, Tanner Health System

“Initiations in Love is a warm, genuine, and captivating book. The experience of reading it is sensational, insightful, and inspiring! I felt like it was written for me, and I found myself saying Britta’s prayers aloud as I read them and crying when she described her own tears. It was profound and powerful and so very deeply relatable.”

~ Katie D., COR Community

“Such a soul warming, life affirming, and inspiring story. A much needed breath of fresh air in these tumultuous times. When I finished reading Initiations in Love, I was no longer in my head but instead deep in the warm embrace of the author’s heart. It reminded me not to get lost in the superficial hope that we can find liberation through escaping life when in fact our lives are the very vehicle through which our liberation can occur. In this honest, hilarious, and practical book, Britta Eskey teaches us to show up for the curriculum of our lives and to love artfully along the way. This is the kind of story someone can only write after many years of committed searching and devoted spiritual practice. Such a useful and supportive guide for all of us on that same journey. Let yourself be nourished.”
