Spiritual Direction
Walking with or companioning a fellow traveler on their spiritual journey. While the work is an inner-spiritual journey it may include an inter-spiritual journey of practices across faith traditions.

In our postmodern age, many people dislike the term ‘spiritual direction’ because it sounds like one person giving directions, or orders, to another. They prefer ‘spiritual companionship,’ ‘tending the holy,’ or some other nomenclature. What we call it doesn’t make any real difference.
