Spiritual Direction Philosophy

People seek spiritual direction, companioning for a number of reasons. I believe in following the lead of the seeker so that the aims of the sessions are reached and so that the arc of the combined sessions results in spiritual growth in harmony with the values and aspirations of the seeker.

Hilary Landau Krivchenia provides spiritual companioning for an authentic, joyful life. She offers a compassionate, grounded, non-judgmental space to listen deeply, realign with your values, and renew your spirit. This process is for seekers of every path—devout, questioning, interfaith, non theist—who seek renewal, healing, guidance, and a companion on your spiritual journey.

“In ministry, I accompanied people through every season of life. I hold a Master of Theology from Meadville/Lombard Theological School (Unitarian Universalist) and a degree in philosophy that continues to shape my love of inquiry and meaning making. Before ministry, I was a massage therapist and came to see the wholeness of life.

Rooted in my Jewish heritage, shaped by the open spirit of Unitarian Universalism, I honor the many ways people seek and name truth. I studied with Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, Joanna Macy, and carry certifications as a Spiritual Director, Consulting Hypnotist, and grief healing facilitator. Still young at heart, I offer the fruits of experience. At Soul Grove, with Rev. Hilary, you will find space where you can pause, listen inwardly, and rediscover the sacred thread of your own life.”
