Program Opportunities

  • Foundations of Spiritual Mentoring is a five-week course that takes you through the core pillars of the School of Spiritual Mentoring — built for the person who feels called to guide others and wants to do it with depth, integrity, and real psychological grounding.

    Each week is anchored in one phase of the SOSM curriculum:

    Week 1 — Foundations: What it actually means to hold an ethical, trauma-aware, grounded space for another person.

    Week 2 — Spiritual Tools & Modalities: The embodied practices — meditation, energy awareness, ritual, and meaning-making — that make your work feel real.

    Week 3 — Healing & Transformation Methods: Inner child work, shadow psychology, life transitions, and how to facilitate change without crossing into therapy.

    Week 4 — Mentoring Skills & Practicum: Session structure, communication, intuitive questioning, and what it feels like to actually sit with a client.

    Week 5 — The Business of Spiritual Mentoring: How to build a practice with integrity — your brand, your story, your pricing, and your ethics.

    This program will help you determine if continuing onto the 12 month training is for you.

Our Values

Compassion & Creativity

The School of Spiritual Mentoring promotes compassion and creativity at the core of its practices and principles. We see the value in each person, believe that people can change, and that creativity improves the quality of life.

Spiritual Sovereignty

The School of Spiritual Mentoring believes that people don’t choose how they are hurt, so they should have a say in how they heal. Spiritual mentors may guide clients in deconstructing harmful beliefs, but do not impose their own spiritual beliefs on clients.

Systemic Awareness

We do not ignore the reality of the world we exist in. Spiritual mentors are advocates for human rights who understand how systems of privilege and oppression impact spiritual well-being.

Integrity

You cannot have a trauma-aware, divinely guided mentoring practice without integrity. Spiritual mentors understand their role in another’s healing journey, practice ethical marketing, and embody being the guide, not the guru.
