SGL is not a solo journey. – A true SGL coach is your companion and fellow traveler. You don’t have to balance alone. You are on the way with someone who listens, asks questions and shares their insights and experiences with you. – From the very beginning, SGL has drawn inspiration and role models from the ancient secrets in religious myths and stories.
As a coach, the Emmaus narrative in the New Testament from Luke 24:13 ff. is the great role model. – The story is about two of the disciples who are fleeing from Jerusalem, terrified after the crucifixion of Jesus. Along the way, they are joined by a stranger who becomes their listening companion about the experiences in Jerusalem. Only after many verses in the story does he mirror their fear and say: “How foolish you are,….” The disciples were confused and curious and invited the stranger to eat with them. Then he took the bread and broke it, – and “they saw and understood… “
This is the SGL ideal. To be able to become your fellow traveler, to be able to listen to your experiences, to be able to share experiences, and to make our hearts burn for what we believe in.
