What is spirituality?

Spirituality involves convictions, experiences, and practices that enhance the meaning, authenticity, and love in our lives. By nurturing our spirituality, we can deepen our connections with what is Sacred: people, nature, the cosmos, the Divine.

What is spiritual direction / companioning?

In spiritual direction (also known as spiritual companioning) a client meets with a certified spiritual director (also known as a spiritual companion). They meet in a judgment free setting that includes the presence of a third partner, namely, God or the Divine. Together, they explore the ways that the client does or could experience the Divine, and how the client wants to respond to this experience. As they journey together, the spiritual companion listens with deep respect to the client’s story. The companion may describe what they notice, or pose evocative questions designed to help the client go deeper. The goal is to help the one being accompanied find fuller meaning, freedom and commitment with the Sacred aspects of all of life.

I have been providing Spiritual Companion services for 2 decades on both an individual as well as a group basis. The goals and methods used in each are very similar, but the differing dynamics in each method produce valuable results in distinct ways. Many clients utilize one or both of these services on a monthly basis, but other frequencies are available.
