Spiritual Companioning

Spiritual Companioning is the contemplative practice of helping another person notice and awaken to the Holy at the centre of all of life.

Spiritual companioning at Heart’s Rest is available to persons on private retreat.  This support is normally by prearrangement.  For persons who desire to establish an ongoing spiritual direction relationship but who live at a distance from Heart’s Rest, companioning is available by Skype or telephone.

Therese DesCamp provides this reflective listening by appointment, on a sliding scale fee of $50-70 per hour.

PLEASE NOTE:  Financial difficulty should not prevent anyone from participating in Heart’s Rest’s services. Limited scholarships are available; please contact us to find out more.

Coaching

Coaching is the practice of supporting another person to identify and achieve goals in their lives.  George Meier offers this support particularly for those working in ministry and not for profit situations, helping them to interweave their commitment to the greater good with their personal call.  This service is free of charge to Kootenay Presbytery ministry personnel.  For others, coaching is available on a sliding scale fee of $50-75 per hour.
