spiritual guidance & companioning

Spiritual Guidance and Companioning is a different approach to helping people find peace, fulfillment, and well being. It is not at all like conventional psychotherapy. Instead of extensive "processing" about your life, we operate from a deep knowingness that your life is divinely inspired, and that your freedom and inspiration are simply waiting to be revealed and manifested.
The emphasis of these sessions is on exploring your relationship with your innermost self, your soul if you will, and with your most expanded understanding of Universal Truth. We will talk about your consciousness, your unconscious, your sense of things, your authenticity, your role in your life, your community, your world ... all can be explored. All of this is done with a sense of awe and wonder at the Divine Mystery underlying all of creation.
As an ordained, non-denominational interfaith/interspiritual minister, I offer this service to anyone who wishes to go beyond the bounds of traditional psychotherapy ~ those who feel attracted to an unstructured, non-pathologizing, spiritual exploration of the heart, soul, and the vast Creative Consciousness (or however you refer to that vast concept!).
We can work within the principles of your faith tradition, or from no tradition at all. It's up to you. Whatever lens you choose, these sessions are for you to deeply consider the most meaningful concerns of your life. We will also consider how you are a part of all that is. Spiritual Companioning is less about cognitive/mental processes, and more about intuition, awareness, revealing, and sensing. In our session, we will take care to set an appropriately sacred space before beginning. Sessions typically begin with candle lighting, and a brief, centering meditative invocation/intention setting.
We can discuss topics such as ...
• Handling a complicated life situation
• Knowing and living your highest potential
• Tapping into your soul wisdom
• Living in alignment with your deepest truth
• Learning to love and accept yourself
• Feeling terrible and still finding peace
• The stress of modern life and global/local crises
• Identifying blocks to finding fulfilment
• Understanding the difference between operating from "higher" self and "lower" self
• Living in true equanimity given your unique life story
• Tapping into your spiritual, metaphysical, divine, and vibrational resources
• And of course, whatever is on your mind that
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you in this inspiring, spiritual, unconventional, and potentially life changing way.
