The Companioning Center
A community rooted in a Christ-centered contemplative tradition.
At the Companioning Center, we offer a collaborative and accessible space for spiritual formation, dedicated to nurturing deep, contemplative listening to God, ourselves, and one another. Through seminars, workshops, and experiential courses, we foster a learning community that values diversity in cultural and theological perspectives. Our programs train spiritual directors and supervisors in contemplative, compassionate, evocative, and transformative practices, empowering them to walk alongside others on their spiritual journeys. We cultivate continued growth and healing by creating communities of belonging and providing ongoing educational opportunities for those called to accompany others.
We envision a world where deep spiritual listening and compassionate companionship foster personal transformation, resilience, and social renewal. Through our work, we seek to empower individuals to embody love, wisdom, and peace in their relationships, communities, and the broader world. The Companioning Center is a place of hope, healing, and resilience, where people are equipped to listen and support others on their spiritual journeys, transforming lives and healing the world.
