About the Certificate
The Spiritual Guidance Mentor Training (SGMT) certificate was developed for individuals who wish to mentor and guide others on their spiritual path and learn more about themselves. This mentoring is a kind of holistic coaching that engages body, mind, and spirit. Students will learn how to provide support, encouragement, and direction to spiritual seekers while obtaining necessary skills and experience to serve others. A spiritual guidance mentor operates within a focused set of issues that most seekers face at some point. They are not psychotherapists or licensed counselors but act as wise spiritual advisors or experienced guides along the spiritual path.
