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.
Be advised that this course is very
long, and has been described as graduate level due to the reading and the
concepts students are expected to understand. The course may take
from two to six months to complete. Do not attempt to rush through
it.
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.
