Anam Cara is a Gaelic word meaning "soul friend" It symbolises a spiritual friendship that is not affected by time, distance, or separation.

In the old Celtic tradition, the Anam Cara was someone you could share your innermost self, mind and heart. This soul friendship was an act of recognition and belonging helping us return to the heart of our spirit.

We have chosen this name as a symbol for the "circle of belonging" that inner friendship which embraces nature, divinity, spirit and human world as one.
