(Otherwise known as spiritual guidance or companionship.)
Welcome to The Spiritual Guidance Training Institute
A leading edge organization engaging in education, experiences, and relationships for practical, integrative, unitive living. We specialize in the art and training of spiritual guides (directors) and companions.
Sourced in the Perennial Tradition, we believe that while there are many spiritual paths, a universal commonality underlies them all. It is our goal at the Spiritual Guidance Training Institute to provide education and opportunities for deepening this understanding so our participants and graduates can kindly companion and offer compassionate, insightful presence to people from all walks of life and spiritual inclinations.
