scott rensho elliott, m.a.

I am a listener, a teacher, a navigator, and a guide...

For more than two decades I have assisted many individuals cultivate a deeper, more empowering relationship to Soul through Archetypal Coaching, Spiritual Direction, Meditation, & Dream-Work.  I lead classes, workshops and retreats in Meditation, Contemplative Prayer, Celtic Spirituality, and Mindfulness and other Soul-focused practices. 

​I feel a special calling for sharing Archetypal Coaching with individuals recovering from religious trauma or who are participating in twelve-step programs (i.e. Al-Anon, AA, etc) and I enjoy coaching individuals and diverse communities in the practices of Meditation and Mindfulness.  I consider it a great honor and privilege to serve as a guide and companion to others on their Spiritual Journey. 
I LISTEN to Soul and support my clients through their journeys of spiritual, emotional, and physical healing.  I work with clients to co-create a safe supportive environment and respectful relationship that facilitates deep spiritual & emotional healing for themselves.  ​

I am a graduate of Antioch University where I earned a specialized Masters' Degree in Archetypal Psychology.
​
I am trained in Jungian-Centered Spiritual Direction and Dream-Work through the Haden Institute in North Carolina.  I have also served on faculty of the Haden Institute presenting on Meditation for Inner-Work.

I am a graduate of Education for Ministry (EfM) through the University of the South School of Theology.  

I completed additional theological education and pastoral training through the Atlantic School of Theology in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

I am trained in Clinical Pastoral Education (ACPE accredited) and have served as a spiritual counselor in hospital, hospice, and behavioral health settings and with military veterans.  In addition to my private practice as an Archetypal Coach, I serve as a bereavement counselor & spiritual care professional with hospice organizations in northern Virginia.  


I have practiced meditation in both the Tibetan and Zen Buddhist traditions for more than 25 years. 
​I am an ordained priest of the Anglican-Celtic tradition, and former prior of an independent, ecumenical,  new-monastic community.  


I am a member of Spiritual Directors International, the Spiritual Care Association, and the Maine Jung Center.


​I stand before you tonight to represent the people who do not count:
​the poor, the poets, and monks.
As long as there are people who are trying to realize the divine in themselves,
​there shall be hope in the world.
