Welcome to InnerLonging!
We desire to journey alongside you in your own desire for greater wholeness and deepened faith, offering a variety of opportunities for growth in your personal, relational and spiritual life. InnerLonging is an evangelical and biblically based organization.
God places many longings in our heart, soul and spirit: to be heard, felt, seen, known and deeply loved, to be healed and made whole, to have meaning and purpose in life...you can likely name many other longings and desires that leave you restless in your own life. We offer many ways to create space to explore these longings and desires, and experience God's grace in the process.
We offer counseling, spiritual direction, biblically oriented workshops and Days of Reflection, individual and group retreats, and opportunities for church or community based workshops at your location.
Counseling
Life's journey is rarely easy or without times of stress, trauma or heartache. Counseling, or psychotherapy, is an ongoing therapeutic relationship between an individual, couple or family and a therapist who has been trained and licensed by the state in which services are offered. The therapist and client work together to discover the roots of client symptoms, and bring healing, wholeness and greater inner freedom into the life of the client.
workshops
We offer both therapeutic and spiritual growth workshops in our professional setting in Kennesaw, Georgia, as well as for churches, spiritual organizations, and community groups at their location on request. Generally, a workshop combines teaching, hands on activities, and time for group sharing and processing.
Days of reflection
We also offer Days of Reflection for those seeking a time of contemplative reflection, time in nature and creative expression around a scriptural or seasonal theme and is under the guidance of a Spiritual Director.
Christian Spiritual Direction
Spiritual Direction is a process to help you become increasingly aware of the workings of the Holy Spirit in your life. It is about growing in your relationship with God as you continue your spiritual journey. A Spiritual Director is a companion who walks alongside you, and through times of sharing, may be able to offer you holy ‘noticings’ and observations that can deepen your understanding of God and who you are in relationship to him. Together, you will uncover and discover divine movements in your life.
Creative Expression
Visual art, music, poetry, journaling, photography, movement and even drama are all forms of creative expression. These expressive tools allow a person to connect with both soul and spirit in a deeper way.
