Everlight Academy · Path catalog
Every path in the academy, in one place.
Three companioning paths live here: Kintsugi, Spiritual, and Legacy. Each carries you from learner to Everlight Guide — a practice of presence, remembrance, and non-clinical companioning.
Compare the paths
What each path makes you able to do
One sentence per path, plus where guided practice begins. Companioning is a practice — not a promise of paid work, placements, or referrals — so you can compare them side by side before you choose.

Path modules
Each path, module by module
Each path is a compact track of modules that builds one companioning practice — presence, faith-sensitive support, or remembrance — toward your Everlight Guide credential.
Kintsugi Path
16 hrsYou are not ruined by what broke you.
The foundational companioning path — presence, reflective listening, and the kintsugi mindset. Learn to sit beside grief without fixing it, sustain yourself, and hold space with trauma-aware care.
Spiritual Path
15 hrsThe light shines in the darkness (John 1:5).
For those who companion grief through faith in Christ. Learn biblically-rooted companioning — the God who draws near in sorrow, the psalms of lament, and how to hold the question without supplying easy answers — meeting the mourner in the hope of Scripture without proselytising the grieving.
Legacy Path
16 hrsWhat deserves to be remembered?
The remembrance path. Learn story-gathering, ceremony design, peer circles, and digital legacy — helping the bereaved tell, keep, and carry a loved one's story forward.
Every path builds a companioning practice you carry into your own community. It is non-clinical companioning — not therapy, and not a promise of paid work or referrals.
