Many of us already experience meditation, contemplation and rituals through religious and spiritual traditions such as Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam etc. So too we can through: social engagement, tai chi, yoga, spiritual reading and discussion, silence and going on retreats. In addition; art, poetry, story telling, family, work, gardening, building and sculpting to name but a few, engage and enrich our time. Inevitably life also presents challenges in the form of crises, illness and more gentle transitions such as aging. As a result, sometimes we experience profound levels of living in the here and now and, at other times, experiences of considerable unease and unknowing.
the gentle art of knowingsits beside people as they walk, stroll, run, dance, stumble, plod, hop, skip and sometimes jump into the here and now and into the future!
Pip Nicholls leads the gentle art of knowing and she provides:
- Spiritual Companioning...
An opportunity to listen, reflect and explore our longing for ‘knowing’; the fruit of which is openness and compassion for ourself, others and life itself. Each persons longing is unique and is experienced in the ‘hills and valleys’ of our daily lives.
- Group Spiritual Companioning...
An opportunity to listen, reflect and share with others. This is a time to know more about who we are in light of our connection to others. These sessions are for two hours every four weeks.
- Sabbaticals by the Sea...
Two to ten days of individual spiritual companioning and allowing the space, time, silence, sea and bush to also be your guide. Sabbaticals are located in the Eastern Bays of Wellington.
- Work Mentoring
Sometimes we feel that work places ‘dry’ us out and we can run out of energy and ideas about what to do next. Mentoring, or work coaching, is a reflective process to help us see the ‘woods for the trees’. It supports and encourages us to maintain balance so that we can sustain our work efforts to meet challenges and the opportunities contained within them.
