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.
We
would like to take this opportunity to thank the many volunteers and friends
who have contributed so generously of their time and effort over the last few
years.
Their input has been invaluable in the evolution of Anam Cara. Their
energy, commitment and humour have left their imprint within the very fabric of
the place.
