Are you feeling lost at sea spiritually?
Or ready to go deeper in your own spiritual journey, but aren't sure how?
After 45 can be the richest spiritual time of our entire lives. With new time to reflect on our journeys and our relationship with the divine, a growing sense of the reality of our own mortality through other’s illnesses (or our own) and death, many women hunger to experience more of their own authentic spirituality. This may mean a deepening of previous practices, or a call to move into new ways of experiencing the divine.
I was feeling dry spiritually, a real "dark night of the soul" after a lot of changes in my life. My old ways of connecting spiritually just didn't work any more. Melissa listened compassionately and reflectively, and helped me find new ways to deepen my spiritual journey and trust life again. ~ Judy Ancone
Spiritual companioning (also called spiritual direction) is a way to develop a deeper relationship with the spiritual, and a richer attunement to the sacred in your everyday life (yes, that includes laundry, commuting, staff meetings, and bad hair days). This can be within, or outside of, traditional faith structures.
Spiritual companioning can help you learn to live with grace amid the complexities and overwhelm of this crazy culture. It provides an opportunity to regularly reflect on your life’s events and circumstances from a spiritual perspective. Spiritual companioning helps you deepen your inner awareness and experience more grace, love, and compassion in your life, even in the midst of challenges.
Spiritual companioning is not about me giving you direction. Rather, it is about helping you listen contemplatively within (how often do we give ourselves this treasure?) and find for yourself the spiritual direction you are to travel, and the choices you can make to experience the divine in your life. I will be a faithful witness to your journey.
We meet once a month by phone or in person. I’ll listen deeply to your spiritual questions and challenges, and ask questions to help you in your reflection and spiritual growth. I may offer spiritual exercises or practices, or ways to deepen your own practice.
If you’re ready to take this step, or are interested in exploring the possibilities, please call me at 206-427-1325, or email me. I’d love to talk with you.
