What is spiritual companionship?
In spiritual companionship (sometimes called spiritual direction), we take the time to pause, to listen and to open to the wisdom of your inner being and/or Divine. I understand and honour that you will have your own understanding of this inner sacred space.
Spiritual companionship honours the wholeness of who you are; takes time to turn with kindness and curiosity towards your humanity and also your spirituality. In this way, it is care for your soul; through listening and following the invitations heard in the times of contemplation, your soul can expand towards the fullness of who you are meant to be.
I am committed to being an attentive, loving and non-judgmental listener; to reflect and ask questions that can help you explore who you are, discover new freedom, and with the wisdom of Love’s presence find Home in the beauty and grounding within you. My commitment is to tend to my own soul in this same manner, so that when I sit with you I am free and grounded to give your soul the honour and presence it deserves.
I believe your soul is the one directing you home. Love/Source/God/Creator/Universe holds you and sustains you, and I am your companion. I am not the expert on your soul’s journey. I come into these sessions trusting fully in the innate love and wisdom of your own soul. I also rest in full trust that the One who holds all that is will be with us and guiding us.
“The human soul doesn’t want to be advised or fixed or saved. It simply wants to be witnessed - to be seen, heard and companioned exactly as it is. When we make that kind of deep bow to the soul of a suffering person, our respect reinforces the soul’s healing resources, the only resources that can help the sufferer make it through.” Parker Palmer
