What is Spiritual Companionship?
Spiritual companionship, also called spiritual direction, is the ancient art of listening deeply with another to what is most authentic and sacred within. Attending to your inner life enables you to grow in love, courage, resilience, balance, wisdom, discernment, and the capacity for deeper relationships with yourself and others. Most of all, it helps you to connect with the deepest truth within you—whether you identify this as your true self, inner wisdom, a higher power, or a God of your understanding. As a spiritual companion, I have no other agenda than to accompany you on your path through listening.
People may seek out a spiritual companion because of a significant event or change happening in their life, such as the death of a loved one, a divorce, recovery from chemical dependency, or vocational crisis. But just as often, something is simply stirring within you to attend to this inner work. A spiritual companion can listen to your story as it unfolds and attend to what is revealed.
What I Offer
I offer virtual and in-person spiritual companionship sessions, including walking spiritual companionship and in-person meetings outdoors. I listen deeply to the sacred with you so that you may grow in love, courage, resilience, balance, discernment, and the capacity for partnership with the sacred and others. Because human transformation within can transform the world.
Benefits of spiritual direction include:
Rick is very knowledgeable and respectful of my culture and my Christian denomination. RESPECT is the first step to fully opening myself to my spiritual journey. He reminds me I’m a beloved child of God and challenges me to open up the circle in how I connect with God. In a world that seems to force you to fit in a generic way to connect with the Divine, Rick has helped me to connect in a way that fits for ME with my very own trauma, experiences and blessings, at my own pace and with my own unique style.
Having this intentional time and space set aside with Rick to focus on spiritual growth has been key to my well-being as an immigrant person, as a mother and wife…Rick fosters a safe space for us to articulate what is on our minds while also being there to gracefully answer any crazy questions we have about God, diverging Bible interpretations on the same topic, and how they affect our worldview and behaviors. I highly recommend Rick to anyone seeking spiritual maturity or just trying to better understand themselves and their real roles in society.
Rick is very welcoming, open and supportive. He is nonjudgmental, non-directive and listens to you. Through listening, he is able to provide feedback and ask questions of curiosity that help you set a direction for yourself. He is warm and encouraging, allowing you to set your own pace and process.
