Spiritual Coaching

Mindy Hills / Spiritual Coach

Spiritual guidance is being present in the moment, seeing and honoring the sacred mystery of the soul of another. It's modeling a deep relationship with the Divine and standing in faith and love with one another as the relationship unfolds. The purpose of Spiritual Guidance is to discern individual strengths and to assist others in finding clarity to determine a loving course of action which allows for transitioning to their inner truth.

    Glad to find this list of resources and to see the local farm we support, Woodbridge Dairy, listed here. Extremely disappointed that the list (apparently) hasn’t been updated in several years.
