Our lives are not problems to be solved but journeys to be taken. ~ Henri Nouwen
Every journey, every life, creates a story. How do you relate to your own story? To your family’s story? Is the way you tell your story helping you or harming you? How do you hold your story’s fragments, contradictions, questions, mystery?
I believe that humans are story-telling animals, that we make meaning through stories, and that stories are essential to our spirituality. We tell our stories to seek confirmation that our experiences are true and that there is value in our lives. We tell stories to draw closer to the mystery that we sense and yet cannot grasp.
As a spiritual companion, I am present with you on your life's journey. Not to instruct or direct, but to come alongside and be a witness. I offer a resting place for reflection and contemplation in your busy life. I create space for you to tell and explore your story. I listen to you so that you can listen to yourself. I honour your authentic experience and help you to hear your own truths.
What is coming to life in you, and what is fading away?
What is being embraced, and what is not embraced?
What is met with gratitude, and what is met with grief?
What brings you joy, and what brings tears?
What is being spoken, and what is keeping silent?
What is being planted in you, and what is ripe for harvest?
What is waiting for your attention, and what is waiting to be let go?
Spiritual accompaniment is for everyone who wants to live more than a superficial life.
