Empowering your Higher Calling Story
Everyone has a story to tell. But what is your Higher Calling Story that grounds and centers you, motivates you, and what others see in you? We help you really know your life story and how it moves you in your career, your personal life and commitments, and gives a true sense of success and fulfillment.
From the story-telling practices of all the great spiritual traditions, we have refined a narrative methodology which is particularly well-suited to navigating all stages of spiritual development. Embrace your authentic voice by developing your Higher Calling Story.
YOUR FOUNDING STORY
Our first priority is to hear your Founding Story. Through initial coaching sessions, we invite you to share your history, experience, and background as you tell your story. This Founding Story points to the spirit or soul of the person. We reflect back to them the principles, values, and practices which shape your life and move you to your Higher Callings in all you do.
YOUR EVOLVING STORY
We then want to hear what's happening in this new moment; this is the Evolving Story. By looking at new developments, people and situations, you can begin to identify a vision for integration. New questions emerge as inventories of strengths and weaknesses are noted. Participating in relationships and community, building a life of integrity- these are factors which directly affect your spirit and soul, the core of your Higher Calling.
YOUR SUSTAINING STORY
Our analysis of the Founding and Evolving Stories brings to light both shared and divergent aspects of what's been heard, and shapes a Sustaining Story of integrity, responsibility, and a renewed sense of soul and purpose. This co-created Sustaining Story can be used to facilitate ongoing integrative change to sustain your Higher Calling.
WHAT WE MEAN BY “HIGHER CALLING”…
A deep sense of purpose that motivates selfless action: A higher calling involves a feeling that you are meant to do something beyond ordinary life, making a positive difference in the world.
A commitment to ideals greater than oneself: This could include principles like justice, compassion, knowledge, progress, or the pursuit of beauty and truth. Your higher calling is tied to working towards those ideals.
The motivation to use your unique talents for the good of others: A higher calling is about recognizing your abilities and using them to benefit not only yourself but to make a positive impact on your community or society.
A pursuit of a life guided by your deepest ethical values: It's about living in a way that aligns with your most fundamental beliefs about what is right and worthy in the world, striving to live those values every day.
“We should always be progressing, going from good to better, and from better to best.”
Saint Ignatius of Loyola
