 The
first course (Spiritual
Counseling for Beginners (101))was designed to teach the basic concepts
of spiritual counseling. In this one, we will be going further into
the practice of spiritual counseling. This course is non sectarian,
but written with awareness of the many traditions and belief systems of
the world, including atheism.
These spiritual counseling courses are written with the independent
spiritual counselor in mind, but may contain useful information for the
conventional psychologist or therapist who is broadening their practice
into the spiritual field.
All required reading for this course is available for free on the internet.
Because this course is self paced, you can use the study methods most comfortable
for you. For this reason, required reading links are provided here,
for those who prefer to get the reading out of the way first.
YES!
