Spiritual Companionship in the Circle of Life

Spiritual companionship (sometimes called spiritual direction) helps us experience our true nature through the wise, experienced, and compassionate company of another human being. The hallmarks of spiritual companionship are careful, sensitive listening and evocative questions. A capable spiritual companion does not tell you what to do, but helps you to listen to the truest voice within you so that you can become your fullest self.

Individual Spiritual Companionship

This is for you if you want to talk with someone who is on a spiritual path. Perhaps you are in a time of discernment. Perhaps you want to grow in your recognition of the voice of the holy, the Spirit (or whatever identifier you use). Perhaps you want to integrate spiritual awareness into more parts of your life. 

The usual pattern, which is always open for negotiation, is to meet about once per month for an hour. The time begins with silence or a guided meditation to help us collect ourselves in Presence. We then consider together where you have noticed spiritual movements in your life since our last meeting. The agenda is always yours.

Spiritual Companionship Circles

These are small groups of people who commit to confidentiality and deep listening to one another. If you have a group of 4-5 people who wish to journey together in their awareness of Spirit, this is for you! If you do not already have a group, let me know of your interest and I will contact you when I have others who are looking for a group to join. The typical pattern is to meet once per month for two hours. One gift of this model is that we become more aware of our connectedness in the web of life.
