InterSpiritual Companioning
InterSpiritual Companioning is an intuitive discipline aimed at helping individuals live authentically, cultivate inner wisdom, and experience peace through the nourishing resources of Spirit. Informed by an attitude of cultural humility, InterSpiritual Companions provide a welcoming, compassionate, non-judgmental space within which the client is able to rediscover their inherent Wholeness, and enrich their lives through exploring the practices, ethical guidelines, and experiential insights religious and spiritual traditions have to offer.
This emerging field is steeped in the perspective that all spiritual traditions share universal teachings and point to the same underlying truth: Oneness. The intrinsic Unity of creation and the Divine is a pervading principle, and experiential truth, that most mystical and esoteric paths emphasize - an insight often framed as "our birthright." However, this foundational aspect of human existence is often overlooked and overshadowed by the complex outer details of the world's traditions that perpetuate attitudes of tribalism such as, "I'm right, you're wrong." The tragedy of this oversight is one of the primary factors that inspired the development of InterSpiritual Companioning.

Boh and I worked together for about a month, and in that time I experienced definite growth in the areas of clarity and insight. Boh has a deeply respectful demeanor and always seems to approach every situation as a mirror, which helps gently reflect one's situation, allowing a new perspective on an existing issue. In our time together I had several important breakthroughs of understanding that still inform the way I consider my spiritual reality.

What's the difference between InterSpirituality and Interfaith?
Interfaith describes the attitude or perspective regarding spirituality and religion that emphasizes harmony and coexistence. Typically, an individual or organization that operates from this ideal views spirituality as fertile ground for resolving tensions within societies and institutions.
InterSpirituality maintains similar ideals as the Interfaith perspective, but is distinct in its basis and function.
​
InterSpirituality is a perspective that celebrates mysticism and emphasizes spiritual exploration as a means of cultivating wellbeing.

What is mysticism?
For the general purposes of this question, one could broadly define mysticism as spiritual frameworks, both within and outside of organized religious traditions, that prioritize one's experiential recognition of the presence of God/Oneness/the Divine. However, mysticism is an extremely diverse field of study and participation; the purpose and theoretical implications of these experiences can differ from tradition to tradition. For those interested in an academic explanation, please click these links to explore a handful of mystical traditions:
- Christian Mysticism - Islamic Mysticism
What's the difference between Psychotherapy and InterSpiritual Counseling?
While these are both helping modalities, InterSpiritual Companioning and Psychotherapy come from completely different philosophical and theoretical perspectives. Generally speaking, psychotherapy approaches a given individual's circumstance from a fixing model, where the therapeutic goal is to reduce psychopathological symptoms based on a Western materialistic view of mental health.
InterSpiritual Companioning does not function to treat mental illness, but instead aims to enhance an individual's wellbeing through spiritual exploration and insight, encouraging a remembrance of the one's inherent Wholeness.
