The Spiritual Life Center is accepting new members into its Spiritual Companion Groups. A Spiritual Companions Group comprises 5-8 persons who meet once a month to share their spiritual journeys with one another. Some sessions take place in person, and some will be by zoom. These groups are led by experienced spiritual directors.
This gentle and contemplative process involves taking a “long loving look” at one’s life in an atmosphere of confidentiality, trust, and openness. Individuals take turns sharing matters of spiritual interest. Other group members listen attentively and respond in ways that encourage the presenter to explore the situation more deeply. It is a very respectful process, without advice giving or attempts to "fix" the presenter. Over time a strong sense of community develops among group members.
Diversity is valued: persons of any spiritual tradition, or no tradition, are welcome to participate. Participants will be given a manual that provides guidance on how we can best companion one another. No prior experience is necessary.
You could use a Spiritual Companions Group to help you:
Identify and trust your experiences of God
Integrate spirituality into your daily life
Find meaning in hopes, struggles, or losses
Discern and make difficult choices
Increase sensitivity to Justice, Peace, & Environmental Concerns
Live more authentically in spiritual community.
The Spiritual Life Center currently offers two different Spiritual Companion Groups. Each group will meet monthly from September until June. The 2nd Mondays Group meets from 10 am to 12 pm. The 4th Thursdays Group also meets from 10 am to 12 pm. The suggested offering for the series is $85. If you would like to know more or to register for one of these groups, please contact Oscar Brockmeyer at obrockmeyer@spiritlifectr.org. Space is limited, so act soon.
