Spiritual accompaniment encourages us to explore a closer relationship with God. In the midst of busyness, many people find it difficult to notice God’s actions in their everyday lives. Yet at the deepest level, all of us long for a more conscious experience of God’s presence and love. Spiritual accompaniment is not about being ‘directed’ - rather, it is very much about being encouraged to draw closer to God. Spiritual accompaniment invites you deeper into this relationship.
Our diocese has a number of Spiritual Accompaniers who have extensive training and experience of spiritual direction.
