SDI Encounters
by SDI - The Home of Spiritual Companionship
June 5, 2025 9:02 pm
A podcast on spiritual direction, guidance, contemplative practice, and connection. SDI Creative Director Matt Whitney hosts a wide range of conversations, stories, and perspectives on spiritual direction, contemplation, and community. Spiritual companionship is a relationship in which a companion allows through deep listening the spiritual story of the other to unfurl. Through this relationship, the person seeking companionship is empowered to explore a deeper relationship with God, Allah, Tao, The Universe, or however you may refer to the Ground of All Being. We are committed to supporting and growing access to spiritual companionship, across religious traditions and spiritual orientations, and the deep listening, open questions, and compassion this healing modality offers.
