Frequently Asked Questions

Get in touch and we can find a time for a free introductory session!

During the first session, we will talk about what you seek in spiritual companionship. I will get a bit of a sense of who you are; you will get a bit of a sense of who I am. Sessions after that will often begin with silence or a guided meditation and then we will explore where you have sensed spiritual movements in your life since we last met. You are the one who determines the agenda!

In our first sessions, we come to agreement about practical matters like meeting times, confidentiality, and other group norms. We also share our personal stories as a way of getting to know each other. Once we have completed this introductory portion, each session will have a time of silence; each person will share where they have sensed spiritual movements or questions in their lives; and there will be the chance to respond to one another within a framework of careful listening and silence.

Absolutely not! All you need is the desire to listen and respond with sincerity to what your truest self is nudging you to notice. More and more people who are "spiritual but not religious" are looking for companions to help them explore their spirituality.

Many people seek spiritual companionship. Some are in a time of discernment and want someone to help them listen for clarity. Others have had experiences that they recognize as spiritual and want someone to delve into the experiences with them. Most people who desire spiritual companionship have at least an intuition of something greater than they are (whether they call that God, Mystery, Allah, the Holy, Spirit, the Ultimate, Creator, the Cycle of Life, the Tao - the names are many!) and want to foster their awareness of and participation in this something greater,

Spiritual companions are not usually trained in counselling or psychotherapy. Therefore, we do not attempt to diagnose or fix anyone's problems. Our focus is on helping you recognize the subtle movements of Spirit in your life. If we have a sense that you need the assistance of a therapist or counsellor, we will refer you to one. Therapy and spiritual companionship can be wonderfully complementary to each other.
