What happens in spiritual accompaniment?

What happens in a spiritual accompaniment session?

What we discuss during a session is what seems significant in your life. It could be exploring a dream or critical issue, discerning life choices, discovering ways to pray, grappling with successes and failures (from your perspective), and searching for ways to turn your heart towards God. It could be as simple as exploring a longing, or even a question that persists over time.

As your spiritual companion, I will remain present to you through deep listening, evocative questions, support, and most especially, by creating a safe environment where you can openly and prayerfully explore where God's spirit is leading you.

What spiritual accompaniment is NOT:

• Spiritual accompaniment is not counseling.
• Spiritual accompaniment is not therapy.

• Spiritual accompaniment is not life coaching or financial advice.

While it might be appropriate, at times, to discuss personal and/or relational struggles in a spiritual accompaniment session, I do not provide pscyho-therapy services. In fact, some people participate in both simultaneously. Advice is not given, and decisions taken on important life matters are entirely your own.

Within each of us lies the desire to find meaning beyond our immediate experience, to discover our true selves, and to grow closer to God and to one another. A spiritual accompaniment session is where we can engage in the work which may satisfy those longings.
