Spiritual conversations should be safe, honoring, and emotionally intelligent, yet too often, they become spaces where emotions are dismissed, identities are misunderstood, and tough topics are bypassed.
That’s why we created Sacred Conversations: Emotional Awareness in Spiritual Guidance—a live, 13-week facilitated course designed to help spiritual directors and companions, clergy, chaplains, mentors, and seekers develop emotional intelligence and create meaningful, non-coercive dialogue.
What You’ll Learn:

✔ Why topics like sexuality, purity culture, racism, neurodivergence, grief, and doubt require emotional intelligence
✔ How to move beyond spiritual bypassing to foster deeper, transformative connections
