Tuning up your heart is tuning up your life

With spiritual accompaniment, transformative practices, and theological reflection, Marisol Gaytán Escobar supports Catholic adults in their search for a deeper, more human, and mature personal relationship with God.

Instruments of God

As instruments of God, we are called to be tuned to His love. For this, it is necessary to know what the tone of love is.

But many of us don’t know how to listen to that tone of love. And not knowing how can lead us to the conclusion that we are disconnected from God.

There are so many sounds we can hear that it’s so easy to get confused about which is that tone of love in which we can tune our being.

The abundance of sounds, intensities, and tones we perceive can prevent us from imagining that it is possible to hear that tone of love that can lead us to tune our hearts and tune our lives.

About Marisol

Marisol Gaytán Escobar is a spiritual director, workshop facilitator, instructor, speaker, and pastoral theologian. She has over 25 years of experience guiding and supporting adult Catholics in deepening their personal relationship with God through an integration of faith, music, and spiritual transformation practices rooted in life experience.

“Music led me to liturgy, liturgy to theology, theology to spirituality, and spirituality leads me back to music with an integration of these learned experiences.”

What those who have worked with marisol say:

Marisol, a cellist with a profound soul and generous heart, stood out in the Orchestra not only for her technical excellence, but also for her great sensitivity, camaraderie, and teamwork. As concertmaster, I can attest to her dedication, attentive listening, and full presence—qualities she now brings to her ministry as a spiritual companion. These virtues make her truly deserving of trust, both as an artist and as a human being committed to love and service to God.

Marisol is one of the most keen interpreters of pastoral and ecclesiological themes. She has a sharp observation of theological trends in the Catholic Church and keeps a critical eye on a Catholic teaching grounded in love and Christ’s teaching. Her humility lends to authentic dialogue across boundaries of culture, religion, and gender.

I've attended a number of classes Marisol has given; what spirituality can actually be is daunting. She is well prepared and handles hybrid classes seamlessly. The gift of her generosity allows is space and inclusion, which are among the many gifts Marisol brings.

Discover if your heart vibrates

An embodied, experiential, and artistic faith perspective on how we can relate to God, ourselves, and others.

As instruments of God, we are called to be tuned to His love. For this, it is necessary to know what the tone of love is.

Do you know what that tone of love is for you?

Spending intentional time with God is the way we discover what that tone is for each of us according to our moment in life.

And that is my invitation to you, to spend dedicated and intentional time with God, to discover His tone of love for you, and by listening to that tone of love, you can begin to practice tuning your heart and your life to His love, in fullness.

It is a constant, continuous practice that begins with wanting to listen.

For those of you who would like to explore this perspective, I invite you to ‘walk together’ with me each week on my blog.

Imagine that you and I are talking and sharing. Jesus the carpenter, as human as you and I, joins the conversation. I step away, and you are left alone. You share with Jesus, and Jesus with you. You will be able to hear and feel what that tone of love is for you at this moment in your life, as your heart will vibrate.
