Online Class: Intermediate and Advanced Spiritual Counseling
This course will take you through the fields of psychology, anthropology, metaphysics, and belief systems, that every spiritual counselor needs to know. It is designed for the independent spiritual counselor, but professionals in conventional fields who are considering the inclusion of spiritual matters in their practice, can also benefit from it. You will not only get the academic essentials, but explore and exercise your own unique approach to spiritual counseling. This is, very likely, the class that will become the standard for online spiritual counselor education.

Course Description
This, the second and final course in spiritual counseling, is designed to provide spiritual counselors with the neccessary education to be of greater help to humanity. It contains two segments, Intermediate and Advanced.
Like the previous course, Spiritual Counseling for Beginners, this class will be self paced. Unlike the previous course, though, this one will require alot of reading, and will be more difficult. All required reading is available for free on the internet.
By the time you finish this course, you will be fully prepared to enter the practice, and have your own website. You will have enough of a knowledge of psychology, cultural anthropology, metaphysics, and belief systems, to form your own private practice, or be an asset to an organization's spiritual counseling department.
Also unlike the first course, your abilities in various aspects of spiritual counseling, will be tested, including your intuitive skills. The skills tests will not affect your grade, but are a part of the 'Honing Your Skills' lessons, and require that you at least make an honest attempt to complete the assignments.
For this class, you will need to keep track of the message board, as the discussions are crucial.
If you have not done so already, you should take the course Spiritual Counseling for Beginners.
Students of all faiths and belief systems are welcome.
