What is Spiritual Companioning?

Spiritual Companions are experts at the art of deep listening. Spiritual Companioning, as I see it, is about connecting with and exploring your “essential self” - the seat of your deepest desires and most profound gifts.

Unfortunately, most of us find ourselves with some level of disconnect from this self. In fact, our life histories and circumstances too frequently teach us that this self is shameful, wrong, deficient, or otherwise inappropriate - that if we acknowledge and live from our “real” self we will not be safe or loved. As a result, we tend to ignore, reject, or try to fix this self.

In reality, your essential self holds the key to you. It is you, and encountering your self brings healing, integrating, and wholeness. When you connect with who you are in this way, you learn to love you, know your inherent worth, live rooted in that worth, and do what brings you and the world more healing and joy.

My job is to be your companion on this journey toward the essential and abundant. During our sessions, I will focus my attention on your experience of being you. Spiritual ompanioning is grounded in relationship, conversation, and listening. While we’re together, we’ll make us of intuition emotion, imagination, embodiment, and the intellect as tools to access your essential nature. We’ll also discuss practices that will help you encounter your that nature and support your growing wholeness.

As an important caveat, my job is not to “fix,” analyze, or otherwise shape you. In Spiritual Companioning, the deeper flow of who you are is the true guide, while the Companion is like a midwife, assisting you in noticing and responding to yourself.
