Interspiritual Companioning Inquiry

This inquiry email template is to explore how you might like to become engaged with Whispering Souls Companioning.

Please, copy the material, below, paste it into an email to Companion@RRCR.us, and indicate your choices by puting a "*" into the "()" so that "(*)" indicates your choice(s), and/or simply use text to answer or clarify your needs within the email.

We can also just plan to have an initial discussion (no fee) about these questions instead of (or in addition to) sending this inquiry as email. Just click the email link and state that you would like to have an initial exploratory discussion, and Rev. Scott will coordinate this with you. You may also call or text...

This is merely an inquiry, and we can have as much dialog about whether and how to start as you would like with no implied obligation.

Which of Rev. Scott's Key Ideas on Companioning appeal most to you?

• () The Client's true identity, sense of self, and self-agency are of foremost importance.
• () The Catalyst must authentically offer respect, non-judgement, and ethical (as well as heart-felt) care for The Client.
• () Companions meet on a person-to-person basis of Soulful introspection for the benefit of The Client. The Catalyst brings knowledge, skills, experience, and tools to facilitate ways of addressing the Client's needs.
• () A sense of safety and Sanctuary is necessary to become open to sharing what emerges from deep within us.
• () The Client must be willing to be vulnerable – willing to expose the often selfish or shameful facts of their circumstances – in a sacred/safe Sanctuary/container. The Catalyst will reciprocate when pertinent and beneficial to The Client.
• () Humble awareness and active stewardship of Nature are essential for the emergence of our purpose within it.
• () We must be open to Awe in even the smallest ways to be receptive to the extraordinary revelations of The Soul.
• () Humility softens the ego to surrender to what The Soul patiently and persistently offers to ease our restlessness.
• () Spiritual Action and Contemplation hold the full spectrum of joy/fun and pain/seriousness – there's no need for a stoic façade; just authentic experience and presence.
• () You Are Loved... and you belong... and you matter... and Rev. Scott will amplify this over and over again – We Are Inter‑Connected ‑ Ubuntu^ui!
• () Add other factors you would like to emphasize...

 
What sorts of topics or discussions would you like to have?

• () Independent Pastoral Care
• () Reaching a sense of safety and a state of calm

• () Becoming comfortable with accomplishments and success
• () Building a personal practice of spiritual wellness
• () Soul-itude
• () Group Work
• () Other matters of spiritual concern, grace, perspective, or practice - write as much as you like about this...
