Boundless Hearts Spiritual Care Companions (SCC) are people who provide a compassionate and loving presence to those who are uplifted by prayer, meditation, reflection, contemplation, and other forms of spiritual practice.  Our focus is wellness from a holistic perspective.

 

In hospital, military, prison, college, hospice, and other institutions, people who are ill, in emotional crises, or in need of spiritual or religious comfort turn to a chaplain or spiritual care counselor.

 

Boundless Hearts SCCs serve people who are not in an institution, or who are in institutions that do not provide spiritual care.  We do not discriminate against individuals based on their religious beliefs. We do not espouse a particular religious belief.  Our focus is on cultivating energy (the loss of energy can lead to illness) and relieving stress (stress can deplete energy that can lead to illness).  

 

SCCs help in the healing process through conventional spiritual care practices (deep listening, mirroring, and assessment), and less conventional practices like qi gong, tai chi, and meditation (to name a few).  Practically anyone who would like to bring a healing spiritual presence to others can be a Boundless Hearts SCC, including teachers, nurses, doctors, social workers, lay ministers, and active community members.  A college education is not required.

 

As a follow up to Mother’s Morning/Mourning, Boundless Hearts invites you to attend a gathering for people who are interested in becoming SCCs.  The meeting will be held on Saturday, June 2nd at Allen Temple Baptist Church.  Another meeting will be held on the same day and place for women mourning the loss of their child to violence.  We will discuss the formation of and participation in group healing circles.  Please visit the website again for more information.
