  JOHN O’DONOHUE’S CLASSIC WORK:

ANAM CARA: WISDOM FROM THE CELTIC WORLD

IS A DELIGHTFUL & PROFOUNDLY MOVING SET OF AUDIO CASSETTES WHICH EXPLORE THE RICH WORLD OF CELTIC SPIRITUALITY.

Come Warm Your Soul and Nourish Your Spirit.

Join us as we listen to the tapes of “Anam Cara: Wisdom from the Celtic World” by John O’Donohue, over homemade vegetarian soup and warm bread in front of a warm fire in the hearth.  These are the tapes which inspired my forming Anam Cara Center, and which continually help me return to the hearth of my deepest belonging. (In John’s beautiful phrasing) I am delighted to share them!

 We first offered this gathering in January of 2004, and we had a delightful time sharing a nourishing meal, insights, stories from our lives and soul companionship.  O’Donohue’s lovely Irish brogue brought an authentic music to our Hearth place of Celtic Hospitality,  and a fresh perspective on what it means to be a spiritual being in our times.  There is something powerfully bonding about listening to a wise teacher together --  we now have a common ground of knowledge and whole new way to understand our relationship to one another and the world.

 We hope you will join us, and share in that bonding.

Below is a menu of the feast being offered:

Your Solitude is Luminous - Butternut Squash Soup

A Spirituality of the Senses  -  Middle Eastern Spiced Pea Soup

The Mystery of Friendship (Anam Cara)- Milanese Minestrone Soup

 Work as a Poetics of Growth - Tunisian Vegetable Soup

 Aging - The Beauty of the Inner Harvest  - Potato Leek Soup

Death - The Horizon is in the Well  - Anam Cara Pearl Onion, Pearl Barley & Mushroom Soup

The cost of this program will be $75 for the series, prepaid, which is a bargain, even if you can’t make all sessions! The cost includes supper. If you would like to pay as you go it is $15 per session, however...

Commitment is Requested as Soup Making is my Commitment to You!
