One-on-One Spiritual Counsel

One-on-One Spiritual Counsel is a private meeting between a participant and a facilitator, held outside of ceremony as part of an ECC retreat. It offers guests a space to talk individually with a facilitator about what is arising in their spiritual journey — questions of faith, difficulties they are facing in ceremony, or simply what they carry into their time at the retreat center.

These meetings are spiritual counsel, not therapy or medical consultation: facilitators draw on their training in the Shipibo curanderismo tradition and their own spiritual formation to offer guidance, prayer, and perspective. Participants are always encouraged to continue working with their own medical or mental health providers for anything outside the spiritual scope of this counsel.
