Exile is that undeniable sensation of being disconnected or disoriented from what is most important to our souls. People who seek a spiritual companion often yearn to have these stories of exile heard. Wander through these pages and discover that exile or the displacement from the familiar and comfortable can also be a remarkable journey pointing towards wholeness. The journey through exile into the Heart of God is conveyed in the context of a pilgrimage, an intentional journey to seek the sacred in the world and oneself. Within this booklet are the engaging real life stories of exile, the return to a genuine sense of one’s full personhood as created in the image of the Beloved Source and practical guidance for the spiritual companion.

“Engaging, informative and practical. I wish this booklet had been available at the beginning of my spiritual companioning ministry.” -Angela Churchill, Spiritual Director and Co-founder of the Urban Abbey
