Eco-Spiritual Companioning
Connection with Soul, Spirit, Earth, & Self

Why work with Justin as
an Eco-Spiritual Companion?
-
As an Eco-Spiritual Companion, I recognize that we are part of the Earth Community. The land where we are either in-person or on Zoom has been tended by indigenous communities for millennia. The land and peoples have their own history of giftedness and trauma that we honor and acknowledge and strive to do better in advocacy and allyship.
-
I invite you to awareness of your own relationship with the Earth and higher power as you identify it. We are in relationship with the Earth as Mother Earth sustains our life. Mother Earth has a role and voice in our sessions as stabilizing presence, the bird at your window, the pets at your feet supporting our session.
-
I offer deep listening which helps you listen to your inner wisdom. This looks like asking open-ended questions, inviting pauses, reflecting back your own words to you so you can find and follow your own spiritual path.
-
I value trust and openness and the time it takes to build that trust in our sessions.
-
I honor your freedom, autonomy and choice in sessions.
-
I am accountable to my peer supervision group and communities where I teach.
-
I follow universal ethical principles and the SDI Ethical Guidelines.



What do eco-spiritual companioning sessions with Justin look like?
Sometimes it looks like silence, big questions, music, poetry, stories, sacred readings, tears, laughter, grief, celebration, waiting, discerning...ALL of YOU is beloved here.
By deeply listening to your sacred life story, I support you in your process of awareness to what is now. I listen with you for soul or sources of meaning and your Inner Wisdom, and support your response to your higher power's invitations to live your soul meaning into your life.
