Spiritual Guidance is an art, a gift and a calling that has been long practiced in contemplative traditions to support spiritual development and personal transformation. The practice encourages the soul’s quest for expression, authenticity and greater intimacy with the Divine within oneself, one’s relationships, and the world.

Develop skills for serving as a spiritual guide to others while deepening your own spiritual foundation. This in-depth two year training program takes an interfaith approach and incorporates the insights of transpersonal psychology with special emphasis on Jungian psychology.

Themes addressed in the curriculum:

  • The Call
  • The Teacher Within and Without
  • Dreams
  • Creating a Personal Mythology
  • States and Stages in the Journey
  • Soul
  • Typology and Guidance
  • Contemplation, Meditation and Prayer
  • Shadow
  • Deep Structure of Ritual
  • The Retreat Process
  • The God Ideal and Image

This is a gathering place for those who have experienced considerable inner work, and who value sharing the journey of the soul within a community of other mature seekers.

Each year of this two year training includes a 5-night summer retreat at Hollyhock followed by two 4-day sessions in Vancouver or Virtual.

Year One (Summer 2022 – Spring 2023)
Cortes Island Retreat: July 31 – August 5, 2022
Virtual Retreat: January 19 – 22, 2023
Vancouver Retreat: June 8 – 11, 2023

Year Two (Summer 2023 – Spring 2024)
Hollyhock Retreat: July 23 -28, 2023
Virtual Retreat: January 18 – 21, 2024
Vancouver Retreat: June 13 – 16, 2024

The opportunity to journey for two years with a deeply committed spiritual community is a profound gift of support and true blessing. The mutual commitment to share one’s path is heart opening and healing.
