Section One: Engagement Agreement

    ​NOTE: Section One of this form must be submitted before attending our first session together.
    Thank you for allowing me to join you on your spiritual journey. Spiritual Direction is a time set aside to reflect, with intention, on life experiences in relationship to Religion and/or Spirituality. During these times, you will take responsibility for the content and flow of the material shared; and I will fill the role of companion through listening, reflecting, and guided discernment, while maintaining respect for your freedom to find your own spiritual path.

    Although I believe it is appropriate at times to discuss psychological and relational difficulties in the context of spiritual direction, I am not a psychotherapist, nor do I provide such services.

    I will hold our conversations in strict confidence. Our time together is sacred. I will not reveal the content of our conversations unless I am required to do so by law or court order (which you will know far in advance). On the other hand, you are free to share whatever you choose about our conversations with anyone.

    I am currently in training at the Center for Non-Religious Spirituality for my Spiritual Director certification. At this time, I am accountable to my trainer and am in consultation for training purposes. Session material may be brought to my trainer or consultation. Confidentiality will be maintained.
    ​
    Do you understand and acknowledge the responsibilities and limitations outlined above?

    Section Two: Intake Form (Optional)

    ​NOTE: The following questions are intended for your reflection only and may be asked during our time together; however, any information you feel comfortable sharing ahead of time would be helpful. All information provided below will be held confidential.
    How do you define spirituality; what does it mean to you personally?
    As you forge your own path through the landscape of personal growth and/or spirituality, what would you say are your biggest challenges, obstacles, or fears?
    As you forge your own path through the landscape of spirituality, what do you hope to experience or accomplish?
    What personal or spiritual growth work have you done in the past with others such as life coaches, spiritual directors, counselors, or therapists?
    When you lock eyes with the person in the mirror and look deep within, what do you see?
