Anam Cara: The Path of Celtic Shamanism Course

Anam Cara: The Path of Celtic Shamanism Course

Anam Cara: the name comes from the old Celt and is still found in use in Ireland today. Roughly translated it means Soul Friend. The idea being that when two people come together so completely, their auras merge, and so, in doing so, there is an openness, a heart closeness that defies normal functionality. The bond formed knows no barriers or boundaries and allows for a person to reach within the other and see that person’s true potential.

Saint Bridget once said that “A person without an Anam Cara is like a body without a head”.

This early Celtic practice was merged into the new Christian ways and formed part of the Celt Christian Faith. In an energetic sense, there is no distance, no time and nothing that is not part of the wholeness that is God/Goddess. In this way as we work through the course together, I am able to forge such an energy bond with you over any distance, as to spirit, a thousand miles might as well be an inch.

I am able to offer you the Anam Cara: The Path of Celtic Shamanism, as the result of my many years of service to the world of spirit. I have been a practising Druid for over ten years and a healer and spiritual development teacher for many years. I bring these skills and techniques up to date with my qualifications and experience as a therapist, counsellor and life coach. I also work with and was registered as a member of the UK charity ‘Counselling’.

We all have times during our life when we are unsure as to the next step to take on our spiritual evolution. Or perhaps we have all of the so-called good things in life, but somehow feel that we’ve still missed the boat. You may have an existing spiritual practice and feel that somehow it has grown stale. Or you might be looking for something to fill a deep hunger you are feeling, and have no idea how to go about satisfying it. You may have walked away from a religious belief system and miss the spiritual elements, if not the dogma. On the other hand, you might be seeking a form of organised religion and that too is wonderful, powerful and empowering, if you know how to connect with it.

You may be going through a change in life circumstances, such as the loss of a loved one or the breakup of a relationship. Perhaps a change in life, retirement, redundancy or coming to terms with ageing or empty nest syndrome. Any of these experiences can lead to a feeling of helplessness and loss. At times, life can become confusing and having a soul friend can help, not to mention that the things learned in this course will help with every single aspect of your life’s journey.

We are all unique; don’t believe that, just take a look at your fingerprint. I can offer you a sacred space over the course of five weeks, or as long as you need to finish the course, as there are no time limits. Our time together will be filled energetically with compassion and unconditional respect. The only two things I will ask of you during our time together will be truth and trust. With this foundation, and through weekly meditations and exercises, we can work together to find your own answers and explore your own truth.

Sometimes we need to be prepared to look beyond the light and the brightness and instead allow ourselves to see the darkness, for this serves us too.

We will work together over the course of a Five-Part Distance Course. You will work through it and email me your completed exercises. You will have unlimited email support during the course and beyond.
