What is Spiritual Direction or Companionship?

​

Spiritual direction can be defined as the gift of companioning pilgrims on their life journey, facilitating growth of relationship with themselves, the Divine and others in their lives.

 

The work includes deep curious listening to clients’ verbal stories, somatic narratives, dreamwork stories, dance movements and artworks, as well as their interpretation of experiences and explorations; mirroring, inviting, deepening clients' experiences, identifying Spirit's movements or giftings in their lives. Facilitation is non-judgmental and supportive of whatever seeking to emerge through the pilgrim in the holding space.

 

Most clients benefit from validation, affirmation, being truly heard, having different perspectives, clarity, alignment with more lifegiving story, inner freedom, personal growth and development in the long run.
