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.

What Happens in Spiritual Direction and Companionship? A Live Session with Christina Roberts and Matt Whitney – Part One
What is spiritual direction or companionship really like? In these episodes, Christina Roberts and Matt Whitney offer each other 30 minutes of real-life spiritual direction—something like a “Fishbowl” experience—so you can listen in on the process as it unfolds.
The first episode will have Matt offering spiritual companionship to Christina. The second episode will have Christina offering spiritual companionship to Matt. In the third episode, we reflect together on what one might expect in entering a spiritual direction/companionship session, what we’ve learned in our years of doing this work, and what this practice makes possible.
Whether you're curious about becoming a spiritual director, seeking one yourself, or simply drawn to deep listening and presence, this episode offers a rare, honest glimpse into the heart of spiritual companionship.
