SPIRITUAL COMPANIONING

When a spiritual director/companion sets aside her own inner chatter and is truly present for another, she can hear beyond the words to a deeper context of what is being said—or what wants to be said. Opening space between two people allows discernment, clarity, and self-awareness. It allows one to feel heard. Sometimes it is called “holy listening” because when two people find themselves fully in the moment together, there is space for honesty and wisdom.

Holding the space for self-discovery is the essence of the classes I teach. Based on yoga, I teach mindful movement and breath-work including guided relaxation and meditation. We come into balance with ourselves.

I also do participatory group talks on self-discovery and creativity.
