What is Spiritual Companionship
When the natural emotions have been expressed, the pathways of spiritual companionship provide openings into the spiritual realm. Often it is a life crisis such as a serious illness or death of a loved one or encountering the depths of depression and anxiety that precipitates deep spiritual questions. Such as: “Who am I? What gives my life meaning? How can I access my spiritual side? How can I create spiritual practices?”

Spiritual companionship addresses these questions. It is a gift to self to create the space and time to open and explore the spiritual quadrant. This could mean developing new spiritual practices such as prayer, meditation, and journaling to develop the revelation that you are a spiritual being.

In-Person or Remote

  • Gifts of Grief

    by Jacob Watson

    Just days after Jacob and Kristine Watson celebrated their thirty-third wedding anniversary, Kristine unexpectedly passed away while on a family reunion. Jacob was devastated, engulfed in grief. A writer, he did the only thing he knew: he wrote. In Gifts of Grief, Watson shares his story as he describes the unexpected gifts he received, not only from friends and neighbors, but from the universe.

    "The radiant discovery that is the treasure hidden at the heart of heartbreak and loss illumines Jacob Watson’s humble, tender and finely written exploration of the gifts that came after the death of his wife of many years. Read this beautiful and noble book slowly and integrate its message to bring you hope and peace in a darkening world."

    - Andrew Harvey, author of Radical Regeneration with Carolyn Baker
