Spiritual support and direction is a feature of many faith traditions. Charlotte's approach for clients seeking spiritual direction is grounded in the following principles.
- Style that is flexible. Charlotte does not impose a program on a client. The manner of the support is adjusted to fit the person’s personality, life history, and spiritual experience and orientation. Spiritual support is built upon mutual respect and openness to the other’s frame of reference and faith traditions.
- Integration of dreamwork. Charlotte gives careful and prayerful attention to dreams that may occur in the life of the client. Often a person's dreams offer clues to areas of bountiful growth and can lead to desired change.
- Integration of somatic listening. Our stories and learnings can be stored in our bodies as well as in our mind and emotions. Practicing deep listening to the stories in our bodies can help release past experiences that continue to limit us.
- A focus on your deepest yearnings. Spiritual support attempts to uncover the deepest desires of the human heart. Typically, these are smothered by superficial desires for transitory things. Our most profound desires are shaped by the Sacred and point toward new choices for spiritual growth and fruitful service.
