Spiritual Companioning

Picture
Spiritual companioning is the process of sharing one's sacred stories with a trained, compassionate listener. It can be helpful to anyone seeking spiritual growth, healing, or a deeper connection with God and others. It is a time-honored practice of compassionate, non-judgmental listening to another in a safe setting where what is shared is held with reverence and confidentiality.
​

A trained spiritual companion will listen intently, patiently, and confidentially as you share your sacred stories. Your spiritual companion will journey with you as you navigate through life's complexities and transitions, and be a trusted guide as you discover your inner wisdom. Spiritual companions do not offer counseling, advice, or problem solving. Rather, they accompany you as you explore your own spiritual path. 
​
​Why Spiritual Companioning?

Seeking God is a universal human quest — common to all ages and to all cultures. Growth in the quest for God happens when we pray with honest, authentic desire.  The spiritual companion helps an individual to sort out the various desires in their life and to recognize and respond to their desire for God.  Do you desire a compassionate, non-judging listener?  Do you long to grow spiritually and communicate with God?
Qualified spiritual companions can help you place yourself freely before God and reflect on your life experiences. Spiritual companions are often thought of as “trained listeners,” or people who guide you to discover what is already within you. 
​

Typically, spiritual companioning is one hour long and occurs monthly and/or during a directed retreat. Suggested fee is $50 per hour.  If the donation is beyond your means, please request a scholarship. No one will be turned away because of the inability to pay.  For appointments or questions contact a spiritual companion, contact Kelly Lemens or click on the link below.
