Mentoring & Spiritual Direction
Spiritual direction is the contemplative practice of accompanying
another as he or she awakens to the spiritual in everyday life. It is
the shared intentions and supports for the directee to have a deeper
and fuller experience through the ever-changing phases of life.
Dale describes his work as support for the contemporary contemplative.
He offers attentive listening and supportive guidance to those seeking
a natural Way of living in the balance of spontaneity and harmony. He
journeys with seekers from all walks of life who wish to be more
present to the fullness of life as it is, as the Way is found
everywhere in our lives. Incorporating Taoist, Zen and other wisdom
traditions in his work, Dale is especially helpful to those seeking
deeper practice, simplicity, lightness, attention to integrity and
ethics, greater ease in relationships and right livelihood. You even
get a cup of tea and a few extra minutes to be still when you come for
your visit.
Professional certification in applying the Enneagram as a personal and
spiritual development resource enhances Dale's work as a mentor and
spiritual director. In addition, Dale has a Master of Arts in
Spiritual Traditions & Ethics from Marylhurst University and a
Certificate in the Art of Spiritual Direction from Mercy Center for
Contemporary Spirituality. In 1998, he was a founding member of the
Interfaith Spiritual Center, one of the first interfaith centers for
spiritual direction and education in this country.
Dale is a Taoist practitioner, teaching T'ai Chi Ch'uan Wu Long Form
with the permission of his martial arts teacher, author Margy Emerson. He attends to his own spiritual growth
through meetings with his spiritual community, tai chi and meditation
practices, zen birdwatching, and other educational adventures and
retreats. Dale appreciates his very simple and sustainable life,
which is car-free, mostly carefree, and increasingly less cluttered
with unnecessaries. He names his partner, cat and compost bin as three
of his most important life teachers today.
Organizational Consultation
Dale also provides direction, training and consultation for
organizations, particularly nonprofits. He has a Master of Science
Degree in Human Services Administration from Spertus Institute of
Jewish Studies and has extensive management experience in the mental
health and public health arenas. Dale is a Certified Professional
Enneagram Trainer in the Narrative Tradition through authors Helen
Palmer and David Daniels, MD. His training also includes work with
NLP/Enneagram author Tom Condon.

Identifying
the lens through which you see the world can be difficult to do alone.
Dale Rhodes and Cathy Hitchcock offer you one-to-one typing interviews
to guide you through the process of discovering your type. The first
meeting is a formal interview that assesses your type, and the second
interview is scheduled a week or two later to reflect together on what
thoughts, feelings, and reactions have unfolded in the interim. The total cost for both sessions is only $125.

Symphony
To live content with small means,
to seek elegance rather than luxury
and refinement rather than fashion,
to be worthy, not respectable,
and wealthy, not rich,
to study hard, think quietly,
talk gently, act frankly,
to listen to stars and birds,
babes and sages, with open heart,
to hear all cheerfully,
do all bravely,
await occasions,
hurry never---
in a word, to let the spiritual,
unbidden and unconscious,
grow up through the common.
This is to be my symphony.
William Ellery Channing (1780-1842)

Oh, Tao!
Giving to all beings what they require, without claiming to be equitable;
Eternally performing good works, without claiming to be charitable;
Existing before the beginning, without claiming to be venerable;
Embracing and supporting the universe, without claiming to be powerful.
It is in You that I move.
--- Xu You
