Ready to take a step that supports your personal  development? 

Mentoring is a commitment to cultivate a deeper relationship with yourself through an intentional connection with a loving guide. 

Mentoring supports those who are practicing new ways of living that contribute to a thriving world.

Springhouse mentors commit to:

  • Cultivate their own personhood in body, soul, and self awareness
  • Live the community’s values through action and reflection
  • Listen deeply and create space for you to be fully seen, heard, and understood
  • Practice presence and genuine curiosity
  • Adapt their approach to each person given their unique stage of life, needs, and path
  • An organically unfolding relationship with their mentees
  • Offer stories, insights, and guidance drawn from their own lived experience
  • A reciprocal relationship with their mentees where both mentor and mentee learn and grow together
  • Approach the mentoring relationship with humility and openness
  • Connect individual growth to the wellbeing of the larger community and culture
  • Support mentees as they learn how personal transformation contributes to shared purpose and collective thriving
  • Maintain confidentiality, integrity, and respect in all interactions
  • Nurture a consistent rhythm of check-ins and shared reflection
  • Ask thoughtful and courageous questions to deepen self-awareness and discernment
  • Encourage mentees to find their own meanings and truths
  • Empower mentees to trust their inner wisdom and agency
