Our abilities as Interspiritual Spiritual Counselors only grow as we grow personally. In our journey to be an Interspiritual Counselor, what stands in our own way of Being, will need healing. The work begins with the release of the ego, in the service of working from what could be referred to as a ‘cloudless’ nature.

As Interspiritual Counselors we must relate to others with great kindness and compassion. This program will help develop strong skills for addressing issues such as:

• Loss, grief, trauma, stress, fear, despair, hopelessness
• Anxiety and depression
• Relationship problems
• Life stresses with children of all ages
• Transition times (young adults, Mid-Life and senior issues)
• Addiction
• Forgiveness
• Spiritual emergencies
• Dark nights of the senses and soul

Each of us will be called to help in ways particularly suited to our unique gifts. As Interspiritual Counselors, we may at times find ourselves presented with difficult situations. While in this vocation we may see a panorama of humanity’s sick, hungry and wounded souls. It is our task to explore the implications of all these possibilities.

Students will focus on enhancing their humanitarian knowledge. Helping others strengthen skills to make a positive contribution to those they come in contact with will also be explored.

Through learning the great traditions of philosophy and religion, we open into a new realm of possibilities that can help our clients, families, communities and the world. We better understand the challenges faced by a wide variety of peoples, and we become much more capable of providing useful guidance in each particular situation
