Anam Cara Spiritual Visioning Network has
been gathering spiritual
community since 2003 and, in true visionary spirit, it is continually shapeshifting!
Originally begun as a Spiritual Center (Anam Cara Center) on the North
Fork of Long Island, NY, we are now moving outward - bringing programs and services into
the larger community through Wellspring Community Support Services, LLC
and the Anam Cara Spiritual Visioning Network will
be focused on nurturing local and global spiritual community and visioning.
As of Fall 2011, we will be shifting our focus and gradually revising our website to be
more of an on-line resource. Instead of listing programs, we'll have articles on the topics that are our passions.
Eventually we will also develop a blog where we can connect to one another and share ideas and visions.
We are living in Transformative Times, and it is our belief that we are
all being called by Spirit to give our gifts fully to our communities and our world. We are here
to support you in living your life in full alignment with your Spiritual Calling.
It is time for us to Awaken
our Vision, and dream new ways of transforming our world through compassionate acts of service and soulful hospitality.
We are guided
in this work by these 7 passions:
1. Sharing the Healing Life Ways
and Visionary Awareness of the world’s Indigenous Earth Wisdom and Contemplative traditions;
2. Helping people to meet life’s challenges
from a place of spiritual strength & centeredness and to reclaim their sense of wholeness and aliveness through creativity,
community, connection to nature & Spirit, and through confronting the sources of woundedness and injustice in
our society and envisioning new possibilities;
3.
Gathering in beloved community to celebrate the sacredness of the Earth's Cycles and Seasons and the sacred
wisdom of the Soul as it unfolds each person in the full flowering of their beauty, potential and power;
4. Working
together to protect and honor the Earth and her creatures and habitats and to foster sustainable lifestyles and grass-roots
social change and environmental awareness;
5. Bringing children out into nature in ways that engage their Souls & foster a deeply rooted sense
of Self and a committment to healthy ways of living;
6. Providing personalized Mentoring and Rites of Passage for children, adults
and families that honor the sacredness of life transitions, the blessings of intergenerational community and a
commitment to personal and planetary transformation.
7. Fostering Interfaith and Cross-Cultural Understanding and Peace Building Skills that help
us to remember our Unity and bring transformation to our relationships and our world.
Know that you are always welcome to call or e-mail me to share your ideas and inspirations!
Yours
in Service and Compassion, Jeanne Marie Merkel, M.Div
