Dana Essex

The Compassion Companion

Your spiritual friend

I choose joy each day. I practice quiet each day. I am a wounded healer and spiritual guide for your journey.

Why me? Like you, I have not escaped the suffering that is part of living a full life. Loss, illness, children, step-children, mental illness, divorce, job loss, pain are on my scoreboard and maybe on yours too.

There is lots of talk about the multiple intelligences of human beings to the neglect of the one we truly need to meet the suffering normal to human life; spiritual intelligence. Exploring our spiritual intelligence helps us to discover the spiritual technologies with which we can meet suffering, not to go around it, not to go under it, but to live fully through it.

Join me on the journey.
