Why Spirituality Unboxed?

When trying to describe what Spiritual Coaching is I find this analogy simplifies it. We all bring a box of spiritual experiences, religious ideas and even names and ideas of what the sacred is throughout our lifetimes. Spiritual coaching is about exploring what is in that box that is giving us meaning and a sense of connection to the sacred. Is it connection through nature? Is it attending church and the community and ritual we find there? Is it recognizing a deeply somatic experience in the body when we experience awe and wonder? It’s exciting to look inside that box and see what’s there and that is wonderful to share with someone. It can also be scary or overwhelming. That’s where I come in - to share your journey, whatever it may be.

What happens in a Spiritual Coaching session ?

Each sessions begins with a brief check-in and centering practice. We’ll discuss your current challenges and spiritual questions, then use a combination of dialogue, guided visualization, somatic attention or meditation based on our time together or simply with a deeper sense of connection to community, the earth and the sacred.

Is Spiritual Coaching for me ?

“Who am I ? In the truest and deepest sense ?” “What is the meaning of my life?” “How can I nurture the connection I feel in nature or in peak experience where I feel “at one” with what I’m doing ?” “What do I have to give the world ?” “How can my relationship with the sacred help me cope with the inevitable pain, loss and difficulty that we all feel at some time ?”

Spiritual Coaching is ideal if you’re seeking meaning, questioning your life’s purpose, experiencing a spiritual awakening, or wanting to deepen your connection to something greater than yourself. It complements but doesn’t replace mental health treatment.

How is Spiritual Coaching different than therapy ?

Traditionally therapy typically focuses on psychological functioning and symptom reduction, while Spiritual Coaching addresses the deeper questions of meaning, purpose and connection to something greater. We explore the soul’s journey rather than focusing solely on the mind.
