Our Spiritual Companions

  

Care of Soul and Spirit 

There are  times when we want to share our spiritual journey one-on-one with a trusted companion. We need a seasoned guide who will join us in examining our life with God--someone who will simply consider our spiritual journey with us without judgment or advice or "answers."

Spiritual companions offer soul care by listening to our life stories and being gentle with the "shy, wild soul." They have years of training, certification, and practice in "being present" and honoring the ways of the soul.

Because each companion offers care of soul and spirit in different ways, The School for Contemplative Living has four spiritual companions who are willing to sit with individuals who want a friend for the journey. 

You may contact the School for help in selecting the person who will best meet your needs or email one of us directly by clicking on a name. 

 We are:

 St. Andrew's Episcopal Church

 Aldersgate United Methodist Church

 Grace Disciples of Christ Church

 Parker United Methodist Church

 

(Please note: Costs related to spiritual direction, if any, may be discussed with the individual spiritual directors.)
