What is spiritual companionship?
Spiritual companionship is a relationship in which a companion allows through deep listening the spiritual story of the other to unfurl. Through this relationship, the person seeking companionship is empowered to explore a deeper relationship with God, Allah, Tao, The Universe, or however you may refer to the Ground of All Being. (Website of Spiritual Directors International www.sdicompanions.org/)
In the Christian tradition, this form of companionship seeks to support another in attending, attuning and aligning with the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. In a deepening relationship with Christ Jesus through sacred practices such as scripture study, participating in the sacraments of the Church, and engagement with Christian community, the seeker is encouraged to open themselves more fully to the interior process of theosis or divinization.
