Spiritual Companionship

What is it?

Spiritual Companionship is really about mentoring a person on their spiritual journey. A spiritual companion is not there to try to convert or proselytise, but rather to be a trusted person you can talk to about what is going on with your inner and spiritual life. Spiritual companionship provides you with spiritual guidance which will help facilitate and support an honest self-examination required for your personal development and growth.

A good companion respects that you have your own unique path and helps you work out what your spirituality is.


How does it work?

Through listening and guidance, a spiritual companion will help you to develop your own personal understanding of spirituality, and how to connect with life’s wonder and energy.

They will facilitate you with exploring the inner meaning and purpose of your life’s journey, and offer essential and appropriate strategies for developing and deepening your spiritual approach.

They will help you to understand crucial connection between spirituality, and health and wellbeing. Spiritual companionship provides an inclusive and holistic approach to faith, spirituality and religious cultures.


How can it help me?

Spiritual companionship aims to help you connect with your inner selves and higher power, whatever you understand or perceive that to be, and to maintain spiritual wellbeing, and a sense of purpose.

They may use, as appropriate, various techniques, including meditation, prayer, mindfulness, and visualistion, to help you tap into your spiritual nature and experience it more directly.
