Walking Alongside Others, Together.

We love creating space for listening and learning together.

Grow. | Be Supported. | Learn. | Belong.

No matter your age, gender, background, or geographic location, you are invited to our community. We love to companion & support those who are walking alongside others as soul friends.

What is a Soul Friend?

A Soul Friend is anyone who seeks to: 
  • Live from a deep and growing awareness of our belovedness with God.
  • Compassionately tend to the spiritual well-being of others.
  • Companion others in their joys, sorrows, successes, failures, hopes, dreams, and losses.
  • Listen with faithful presence - to self, with others, and toward the movement of the Spirit.


A Soul Friend can be lived out in many ways: incidentally, relationally, and professionally. Which, in reality, can be all of us. 

At the Companioning Center, we provide avenues for community & further learning through a variety of courses, continuing education, training programs, and workshops.

"Let's define a hospitable presence of listening...
It is gracious.
There is no judgment.
There is no fixing.
The hard and the painful and the messy belong."
-Kathi Gatlin

Refreshment. Reconnection. Network.

With joy, we celebrate you who are in our community, have trained with us, and enjoy our regular offerings. We invite you to join our Homecoming Gathering to thank you for making the Companioning Center such a welcoming, spacious and renewing space!
