Spiritual Guidance
Spiritual Guidance and Companionship
The journey of spiritual deepening is a lifelong unfolding — a movement toward inner stillness, wisdom, and connection with the divine. Along the way, we may encounter both beauty and challenge, moments of clarity and times of questioning. Spiritual guidance offers a supportive, contemplative space to explore these experiences, listen within, and attune to the presence of Spirit in everyday life.
Engaging in spiritual guidance can nurture awareness, peace, and inner freedom. A Christine Center spiritual companion listens with compassion and presence, walking alongside you as your story unfolds through a process of gentle discernment and discovery.
We welcome all — people of every faith and no faith, from all spiritual paths — to enter into this sacred conversation of the soul.

Spiritual Companion
Often when there is a decision to seek out spiritual guidance it is because we no longer can ignore that still deep place within that calls us to pay attention; “Look Here!” It may come as a quiet whisper, a sense of emptiness or numbing confusion, a relentless suffering or a mysterious longing of the heart. The great poet Rumi said: Drum sound rises on the air, its throb, my heart. A voice inside the beat says, “I know you’re tired, but come. This is the way”. Whatever has led you to this place of awareness will bring you closer to knowing more of the truth of who you are, along with and beyond the historical self. Please note that I will be meeting with individuals virtually. As your companion during this time of unfoldment and discovery, I will carefully listen with interest and compassion. I may ask questions, offer practices or suggest a direction for you to inquire into. Know that you and this process will all be held by Spirit, and in the love and light of Presence.
Choosing your path in spiritual guidance
We offer several options for meeting with a spiritual companion. From individual sessions to guided or companioned retreats, there are many pathways available for you.
Individual sessions:
Choosing to engage in spiritual guidance for a single session or on an ongoing basis can be an incredible gift and support for your journey. In person sessions utilizing social distancing guidelines are available on site at the Christine Center with certain guides. Phone or Zoom sessions are available with all guides.
Guided Personal Retreat:
A retreat is a gift we give to ourselves, which allows us to pause and take time away from the noise of our everyday life. The silence and solitude of the Center’s woodland sanctuary continue to be a resource for your journey. A guided retreat offers the opportunity to have customized sessions with a spiritual companion during your stay; an individual that may be able to assist you with “hearing the inner whispers of your heart,” and creatively explore where Spirit may be leading you, and perhaps reveal what your heart and soul already knew.
