WEDDINGS. If you want a wedding service that reflects your spirituality, your faith traditions, and your culture, give Kikanza a call. She conducts very personal, deeply spiritual wedding services that reflect the nature of your relationship with your beloved, your community and the divine.
Every couple must have at least three counseling sessions with Kikanza before the service. You will receive a workbook that you will use to prepare for these sessions. The sessions are designed to invite you and your beloved to explore the pragmatic and deeper issues that will shape and form your relationship. During this time you will also design the service with Kikanza who will make suggestions for readings and activities that will personalize your service.
You will write your vows and clarify what draws you to your beloved. You will also learn to use communication tools that will help you to work through the conflicts and challenges that will inevitably arise in your married life.
SPIRITUAL COUNSELING. Each person has a unique experience in Spiritual Direction. You and Kikanza will develop a covenant that describes how you wish to work with each other. You may come together for a few months or for many years.
Each person I work with is a little different. Basically you come to my office and we talk. I believe that we are spiritual beings having a human experience and therefore our task is to live authentically into our spirituality. What happens is that we sometimes forget and begin to think or act as if we are human beings trying to have a spiritual experience. Either way, the job is to deal with the issues that cloud or conflict with our understanding of the divine, and firgure out how to strengthen and nurture our relationship with that Mystery we call God.
My job as a spiritual counselor is to listen, to ask tough questions, to offer you suggestions, to hold up a mirror and to pass you the Kleenex.
During the time you spend with your spiritual director, you may expect to
• Discern the movement of Spirit within you
• Share the joy of your experience of the Divine
• Explore how to live in a way that reflects who you are as a spiritual being
• Deepen and enhance your spiritual life through prayer, meditation, journaling, contemplation and the reading of holy books
• Discover and grow in the presence of Universal Love
Spiritual Direction sessions can be arranged for individuals, organized for small groups, or conducted at retreats. Membership or participation in a particular faith tradition is not necessary. The cost is based upon your needs and your ability to pay.
