Welcome to my Homepage!
My name is Christine Barnabas and I have been living in County Durham since August 2021.
I feel quite settled and have found County Durham to be a very spacious place. The land continues to speak to me as I explore the surrounding area. There is something about the wildness and being in the silence and solitude that speaks to me about the "peace of wild things" as Wendel Berry once put it in a poem.
I continue to offer spiritual accompaniment, next to my work for the Northumbria Community and writing. In September 2022, I published my book
Consecrated Celibacy - A Fresh Look at an Ancient Calling
and so far, the feedback has been very positive. You can find out more about it here:
Are you seeking a safe space to share about your relationship with God? An opportunity to explore where you are at on your spiritual journey? Then spiritual accompniment might be for you. I have found that regularly meeting with someone who listens to me and holds my story has helped me to grow in trust and discover more about myself and the God I want to live with. Spiritual accompaniment is about having a non-judgemental space where we can bring all of our life and ask the question how what is happening within and around us can make sense for our unique journey, and how we can connect with a deeper reality at work. Finding our place in this world and living from our true self, authentically and whole-heartedly. Not having to sign up to acceptable beliefs but searching for what gives us life, what helps us to flourish so we can be of service to the world, whatever shape that might take, and no matter in which sphere of influence.
I offer accompaniment in person in County Durham, or via Skype/Zoom/phone/e-mail.
