Spiritual Counseling & Spiritual Direction

Spiritual Counseling and Spiritual Direction are options for personal development of one’s Mind-Body-Spirit-Self. Spiritual counseling usually includes more frequent meetings and dynamic content. Spiritual direction follows a contemplative approach with longer spaces and more homework or personal process outside the scheduled meeting. Both options facilitate exploration of and reflection on one’s spiritual, religious, and soul life and their interface with life in the outer world. Seekers may be drawn to one type more than the other. Neither addresses psychological problems. Appropriate referrals will be suggested if needed.

100_1570My orientation is interspiritual, interfaith, and inclusive. My past work as a Jungian psychotherapist and sandplay therapist informs my practice. In addition to centering prayer, meditation, and dialogue, I offer some unique expressive means to explore your spiritual and religious questions and your quest toward wholeness. Sand Meditation, Dream Reflection, Tarot Imagination, journaling, and other expressive tools convey your queries in material and symbolic ways to reveal your path. My role as witness extends to honoring and supporting your sacred space, expressions, and story. I serve individuals and small groups on a sliding scale.

I also offer Sandplay process and consultation for students seeking STA certification.

 

 

“Nancy Burnett has been a pivotal guide to me for many years. Whether as a therapist or facilitator of a women's group based on Marion Woodman's Body Soul Workshops or simply as a sacred sister. All of her work is based on a foundation of authenticity and grace. She is talented, humorous and self-aware. I feel blessed to know her.” Kate B., N.T., S.D.
