Embark on a Spiritual Journey with Free Student-Offered Guidance

Are you seeking a deeper connection to your inner self and a more meaningful life? If so, you're in luck! The Cherry Hill Seminary Spiritual Direction Certification program is offering free spiritual direction sessions to a limited number of participants starting March 2025.

What is Spiritual Direction?

Spiritual direction, also known as spiritual companioning, spiritual tending, soul-work, and other terms, is a practice that facilitates self-exploration and growth on a spiritual path. A spiritual companion is a trained guide who journeys alongside you, offering a safe and confidential space to explore your questions, experiences, aspirations - in short, your spiritual direction.

What to Expect

This program provides an opportunity to connect with a student spiritual companion for one-hour sessions, once a month, for a year. Sessions will be conducted via Zoom, allowing for participation from seekers located anywhere in the United States. (In-person appointments may be available in: Seattle, Albuquerque, Greeley CO, Hilo HI, Chicago, Norman OK, or Durham.)

During these sessions, you (the explorer or seeker) may discuss your spiritual experiences, questions, and challenges. You may do art together, develop rituals, or explore spiritual practices, The student companion will offer a listening ear, gentle guidance, and encouragement as you explore your own spiritual landscape. 

Who Can Participate?

This program is perfect for anyone who is interested in spiritual exploration and growth, but has not already participated in similar offerings from our program. We especially welcome Pagan, spiritual-but-not-religious, and mystically inclined individuals, but all are welcome.

This program is open to individuals 18 years of age and older who are interested in spiritual exploration and growth, but have not already participated in similar offerings from our program. We especially welcome Pagan, spiritually-oriented but not religious, and mystically inclined individuals, but all are welcome.

Important Considerations

• Please note that this program is designed for those seeking spiritual growth, and is not intended for crisis intervention.
• Students are still under training, and spiritual direction offered through this program is focused on exploration and integration rather than crisis management.
• Student directors have completed one year of rigorous training and will be participating in ongoing monthly supervision throughout the praxis year to ensure ethical and competent practice.
• You will commit to attending monthly one-hour appointments for one year and providing feedback to your companion at the end of the year.
