For in Him we live and move and have our being
– Acts 17:28
God is ever present, and ever active in our lives. Life begins to become wholesome and full when we pause and pay attention to this reality. I offer Spiritual Accompaniment for women and children. In Spiritual Accompaniment, I offer to listen deeply. Listen, not because we need answers, or advice, or solutions, but listen with you to the gentle, loving voice of God who is ever present in our conversations. We will talk and listen in God’s presence and together pay attention to His work in your life.
What do the Spiritual Accompaniment conversations look like?
In the Spiritual accompaniment conversation I will encourage you to talk about anything that is surfacing in your heart. As you talk, I may ask reflective questions like where do you see God in this? or what do you sense God is saying to you? There will be other questions I may ask as the Lord leads me. I have experienced beautiful ways in which God comes through in these conversations and encounters the accompanied for His glory.
Spiritual accompaniment conversations are confidential, unless a need arises to break confidentiality for one’s protection from harm.
As a Spiritual accompanier, I will be accountable to an experienced Supervisor. I will be sharing with this person, without revealing the accompanied person’s identity or giving the details of my conversations, to help me engage better with the accompanied.
What is the purpose of these conversations?
These conversations help a person reflect on their walk with the Triune God. God is active and present in every space of our lives. So no matter what you talk about, you will begin to grow in the awareness of God’s presence in your life. The Spirit of the Lord works gently. When that happens, we experience growth, deep healing, restoration and wholeness.
What Spiritual Accompaniment is not?
Spiritual Accompaniment is neither a counselling, psychotherapy, or problem-solving session.
Where do we meet?
Presently I can meet online.
For what duration do we meet?
I will first have an introductory meeting in which we can see if we are comfortable with each other. Then we can decide on the day and time for our meetings. I will meet you once a month for a Spiritual Accompaniment conversation. These conversations will be for one hour.
A Spiritual Accompaniment relationship usually ranges between one month to life- long period. You are free to determine how long you would like to continue meeting.
How much does it cost?
Since I am currently undergoing training for accompanying adults, I do not charge anything.
