The Pathway Home Developmental Soul Care

Note: All of those who train in the approach of The Pathway Home, are already trained spiritual directors or soul care providers from various programs throughout the country. The DSC training provides a focus within the field of spiritual direction and soul care, much like some directors have training in an emphasis on Ignatian spirituality, etc. The individual provider brings a unique background of life experiences and other training modalities, sets their own practice fees and procedures, has their own insurance, and is responsible for maintaining an equitable practice within the field’s standard of practice. The Whole Peace is simply a provider of training in this approach and does not take responsibility for any practitioner's behavior and work.

She continues to hone her skills by serving as an Associate for the HCM Spiritual Direction program.
• Since hearing and listening to God and others is an integral part of direction, it is of note that she received training and much practice in Therapeutic Communication in her former career as an oncology nurse, and listening skills in her concurrent role as a Family Court mediator with The Center for Resolution and Justice. She also received a Certificate in Formational Prayer in 2020 (HCMI) and assists in facilitating Healing Care Groups.

Her own childhood was spent as the daughter of missionaries in Africa, and was full of both wonderful and painful times. She has been on her own Developmental Soul Care journey since October 2020 and through it, has found healing for wounds she never knew she had, and for wounds she believed she would have to live with for the rest of her life. It is because of this that she delights to offer to accompany others on their path to healing, wholeness and hope through the Developmental Soul Care approach.

• Aside from her formal training, perhaps what best equips Bethany as a Spiritual Director is her own sacred journey of learning to befriend her own soul, which prepares her to hold sacred space for your soul, for your journey, for your story. Bethany feels privileged to walk with you as a fellow traveler – to listen to your heart, to help you see Jesus at work in your life, and to step into the freedom He has for you.

Bethany finds joy and beauty in feeding and caring for blue birds, which nest in her yard each spring and summer.

This work is dedicated to Dr. Terry Wardle, his wife Cheryl, Dr. Anne Halley and Chris Ramsey, M.A. There are no words of gratitude great enough to express the impact their lives and teaching have had on my own journey of wholeness in Christ.
