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.
