Spiritual Companioning
With Lisa Downs
Open Dates
“Spiritual direction (companioning) explores a deeper relationship with the spiritual aspect of being human. Simply put, spiritual direction is helping people tell their sacred story everyday. Describing spiritual companioning requires putting words to a process of fostering a transcendent experience that lies beyond all names and yet the experience longs to be articulated and made concrete in everyday living. It is easier to describe what spiritual companioning does than what spiritual companioning is. Spiritual Companioning helps us learn how to live in peace, with compassion, promoting justice, as humble servants of that which lies beyond all names.”
