Spiritual Accompaniment 

I came to this house wearing my dark cloak-
of powerlessness –
laid it on the ground for all to see
Friends picked it up –
circling the hem they danced with it
tossed it skyward
like a parachute game –
to reveal small shoots of power and hope
growing under wraps.
Jean Barker

Speaking about our faith may feel quite daunting but it can be really helpful. Sometimes it will affirm that we are doing better than we think.  Sometimes it can bring to light that what others have told us might not be the truth we need to live by. All of our Spiritual Companions are trained to listen to your experiences without forming judgements.
Spiritual Acompaniment is sometimes known as Spiritual Direction; when you meet with your Companion you can discuss what kind of conversations will be most helpful.

I discovered a gentle God and the love and acceptance I needed.

Like the snowdrops – I’m fragile…
Here I met a gentle God – that is all I can take…
Thank you for allowing me to share my innermost fears:
you became a gentle ‘touching place’.
