Mentoring and Coaching

Staff support students through many life issues through mentoring and coaching. Whether these relationships are casual or formalized, whether they happen individually or in group settings, staff help students to reflect on their values, relationships, spirituality, career choices, and service.

We place high value on listening and guiding students in hearing their own inner voice, sensing this divine movement in their life, and living out of their authentic core. As Parker Palmer articulates in A Hidden Wholeness, we "grow our selfhood like a plant - from the potential within the seed of the soul, in ground made fertile by the quality of our relationships, toward the light of our own wholeness - trusting the soul to know its own shape better than any external authority possibly can." Mentoring relationships are a part of the process that encourages the authentic self to blossom. And as each student grows in hearing one's own soul, they are equipped to mentor others in finding their authentic life path.
