Christine Hiester is a spiritual companion, supervisor, and grief companion; a retreat leader, teacher, and creative. A native of the Christian contemplative tradition, a lover of Taoist and Buddhist practice, and deeply reverent of all wisdom traditions.

Christine offers Soul Companioning, offering a place where your most authentic and whole Self has room to emerge and grow. At its most nourishing, the companioning relationship provides both a felt experience of safety and an invitation to growth, using questions, creative and contemplative practices, and a compassionate listening presence. Spiritual companionship is a form of community, a place where your soul is most welcomed, a place where relationship and awareness of Divine Compassion in daily life is nurtured.

Maddy Marr is a Spiritual Director, Grief Companion, and Angelic Reiki Master Teacher. In real people words, this means: she supports people on their unique spiritual journeys through compassionate listening, developing spiritual practices and connections with The Divine and deeper self, and holds space for energetic healing/channeling. She practices with an interspiritual lens, and has a heart for people who are: deconstructing, navigating a faith shift, looking for their own path, queer, neurodivergent, and grief & trauma survivors. You can book her for virtual and in person sessions. When she’s not doing local vendor events or seeing one-on-one clients, you can usually find her either somewhere in the woods, eating gluten free ramen and watching horror movies with her partner, or curled up with her current hyper-fixation hobby.
