Spiritual Companionship is the experience of being walked with and encouraged to notice and deepen into the activity of The Divine  (for simplicity, “God”) in each area of life. In our work as spiritual companions, we seek to accompany others in exploring their deepest beliefs and experiences, as balm for difficult times and as a window into the paths to which they feel invited, and the steps they can take on their journey toward spiritual freedom, authenticity, and connection.

Supervision is a contemplative, sacred process undertaken individually or in conversation among multiple spiritual companions. Supervision meetings explore the experience of one spiritual companion as they companion a seeker (or seekers).

Mediation is a process wherein two or more parties meet with mutually-selected neutral persons (mediators) who assists them in negotiating their differences.

Conflict coaching supports an individual or group in working through a specific conflict and/or learning conflict resolution skills to be more effective in handling conflict generally.

Facilitating difficult conversations involves a voluntary process where the facilitator guides participants to move toward a mutually identified resolution or agreement. The goal is to address issues, meet interests, and improve the situation for all participants with deeper understanding about and for one another while remaining consistent with core values for the common good.

Discernment is a way of life wherein an individual or group seeks to perceive and align their actions with deep wisdom from within themselves’ and from spiritual traditions. We support those seeking to perceive wisdom in making specific choices, as well as those desiring to lead more broadly discerning lives.

Visioning is a collaborative approach to process the conception of something different or new in the future. We facilitate visioning that treats individuals and group members as change agents in their own right in the context of community with direction of a strategic path.

Partners in Pilgrimage teach the art of spiritual companionship through several seminaries, and through stand alone classes. This includes teaching and leading groups to support deepening understanding of: spiritual formation, discernment, spiritual practices, ethics, and power dynamics.

Grief is a universal natural response to losing someone or something that is important to you. Partners in Pilgrimage helps provide a framework for healing with the complex thoughts, behaviors, and emotions often experienced with loss. The grief processing involves moving an individual or group towards integration of the loss within an understanding of themselves and their life shaped by the loss.

Co-creating healing rituals are ceremonial practices aimed at restoring health and well-being, often involving music, movement, music, symbols, and traditional healing techniques. These creations come out of a shared communal context of facing what awaits healing and choosing how to move forward with how the experience is transformative.
