Who We Are
The Companioning Center is a collaborative community offering spiritual formation conferences and courses for those who are interested in soul companioning others and growing toward a deeper self-awareness and God-awareness themselves. The background picture on our pages is intentional. Much like a grove of trees that communicates and supports one another in an integral root system, we are committed to walking alongside others toward transformation and wholeness, both for ourselves and one another.
Our desire is to explore the connection between the language and lenses of spirituality, theology, and psychology. We bring together our own rich and varied experience to the conversation as we host a space of enrichment and networking for all who approach companioning others. Wisdom suggests that as we come together to share our own, our perspectives and sensitivities are broadened.
As we encounter these conversations with one another, our theological perspective is Trinitarian and Christ-centered. In our work, we tend to emphasize the contemplative approach as a means to engage our journey of spiritual formation. We look forward to joining in this important conversation with you.
