Spiritual mentoring offers support for individuals who are wanting to look more deeply at their lives from a spiritual perspective…
A spiritual mentor and counsellor listens deeply to the whole of your being, provides a safe sanctuary in which to unpack and lay down your burdens and helps you to see meaning in all your experience, both happiness and suffering. Your unique life, including its blessings and challenges, is a sacred journey that can awaken you to a fuller, wiser and more loving way of being. Spiritual mentoring and counselling can provide the space and the tools to help you heal yourself, discover the deeper dimensions of life and connect with your sense of meaning and purpose.
Professional mentoring and supervision is also available for those running their own practice or wanting to set up and develop spiritual groups such as a wild church or new monastic gathering.
As well as skilled listening and reflection, it can include guided meditation, simple ceremony and non denominational guidance on spiritual practice…
