"Companioning is about going into the wilderness of the soul with another human being: It is not about thinking you are responsible for finding the way out." - Dr. Alan Wolfelt
Betsy Lydle Smith has been a Virtues Project Facilitator since 1992, and Master Facilitator since 2002. She was fortunate to learn from and be mentored by Linda Kavelin Popov and a group of friends and colleagues who have companioned each other regularly for many years.

"In the over 20 years I have known and worked with Betsy Lydle Smith, I have had the honor and pleasure of experiencing her depth of knowledge and skill as not only a Master Facilitator for the Virtues Project, but also in the practice of the art of Companioning in groups, workshops and everyday life." - P.J., British Columbia
"Betsy Lydle Smith has been on my Virtues Project radar for two decades. Years ago she traveled to Vancouver, Washington, to give a basic Virtues workshop. This was my introduction and a beginning love for this work. Currently, we share beautiful Bainbridge Island, a ferry ride from Seattle. Being on the same patch of land, I get to have the bounty of witnessing first hand and often, her natural gifts of going deep into her personal well of insight and offering out the qualities of patience and listening and perceiving. These qualities build for me a place of trust and safety and honesty, the attributes of true friendship."
