The spiritual journey is an uncharted path that each of us takes. Sometimes it is helpful to have a friend along the way who can help you maneuver your way around some of the challenges that inevitably come with change and growth.
The CCC offers assistance through its Mentoring Program by pairing you with someone who has been on the path for some time and has seen positive changes in his/her life through the action of Spirit; someone who can offer you valuable insights and guidance to illuminate your path. Or, you, as someone who has been on the path and has experience in living in spiritual principles, will be partnered with someone who benefit from your wisdom. If you are interest to be of more service, this is a great way to share yourself with someone and get to know and love a new person.
Either way, the Mentoring Program offers greater growth to both participants by sharing your lives with one another. I see many valuable benefits to come from such associations!
The Mentoring Program is available when you become a Member by participating in one of the monthly contribution levels (see Membership).
Once you sign up as a monthly partner, you will be invited to participate in the program either as a mentor or someone who needs one. This program is voluntary, and you can sign up anytime during the course of your yearly partnership. You will then be paired with the person who is willing to be of service to you or you will be paired with someone who can benefit from your experience.
I will collaborate with the various partnerships to help you get started. From that point on, the two of you will be free to contact one another and determine how often you will meet, the method of communication, etc. and then start sharing. I will provide assistance along the way if needed as we grow our spiritual community.
