services

Services are provided at my office (currently at Bloor/University) in Toronto and at other locations such as a customer’s offices, meeting venues and retreat centres.

Individual Sessions

Spiritual counselling sessions are tailored to the specific situation of each individual according to his/her goals for seeking help. Sessions focus on open spiritual exploration, for example discussing options for spiritual growth, addressing questions, concerns, doubts, and resolving current spiritual difficulties. Sessions may include practices such as breathing exercises, meditations, readings, etc. Fees are on a sliding scale from $85 to $130 per session lasting between 45 and 60 minutes in average. Sessions can take place as often as individuals wish such as weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Sessions continue for as long as individuals believe they are needed.  I am not able to take credit card payments. PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM CURRENTLY UNABLE TO OFFER INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS.

Group Sessions

I also offer spiritual counselling sessions for groups between 4 and 6 people who may prefer to work with others in similar situations. At times I bring the group together and sometimes I am approached by a group who requests my facilitation. Frequency of meetings varies depending on group needs. Group sessions are usually 70 to 90 minutes long. Group fees are on a sliding fee scale from $120 to $300 per session. I am not able to take credit card payments.

Workshops

From time to time I teach workshops focusing on specific topics such as Spiritual Life Beyond Religion, Finding your Spiritual Self, Using Spiritual Biographies for Healing and Growth, Gay and Lesbian Spirituality, Religious Tolerance and Spiritual Ecology©. Please check this website periodically for scheduled events.

Retreats

I can design one-, two- or three-day retreats to meet the specific goals of a group or organization. These are usually a mix of presentations, discussion groups, silent times and meditation. Please contact me and after exploring your needs during our initial meeting, I can submit a full proposal for your consideration.

Spirituality in the Workplace Program

Organizations can also benefit from an internal program of spiritual wellbeing. Research indicates that providing employees with ways to access their spirituality can significantly enhance job performance and satisfaction. Programs can focus on several areas depending on the needs. Organizations can choose from workshops listed above or indicate other topics such as creating prayer/meditations spaces, discussing religious views, religious tolerance, appreciating other people’s spirituality, finding spiritual fulfilment at work and integrating spirituality in daily life.

Please contact me and after exploring your needs during our initial meeting, I can submit a full proposal for your consideration.

Special Services for Businesses

I also offer services specifically to organizations/businesses that work in the two areas that are closely related to my expertise: organizations/businesses that provide services to gays and lesbians as well as organizations/business that have a focus on spirituality. Please contact me if you wish to receive additional information. I can facilitate strategic planning sessions, team building events, and conduct program evaluation.
