What is a Spiritual Friendship?

Intentional spiritual friendships involve meetings with another person where each is invited and supported in contemplating, exploring, and expressing their deeper selves and their connection to the whole. These intentional times together provide the opportunity and a safe structure for sharing what is close to the bone with someone you can trust, someone who has no agenda, someone who is not judging, analyzing, or labeling you.

Such friendships are a sharing of equals and require mutuality. They take place in sacred space, with the understanding that the inner world can be navigated more easily, for many people, by virtue of the presence of a listening partner, and that seeking to find words for what is often beyond words is a valuable process.
