The course first introduces you to the subject, outlining what spiritual life coaching is, how it differs from regular life coaching and the difference between a spiritual life coach and a religious or spiritual leader. You’ll discover the common belief systems and philosophies that spiritual life coaches share, including the importance of having a purpose, meaning and mission and staying open to the spiritual world.
