• HEALING PRACTICES IN THE ART OF LIVING & DYING

Applying wisdom to the care of the vulnerable and suffering, especially at the end of life, was a special emphasis in the Celtic tradition. An Anamcara (soul friend) was one you would want at your bedside thanks to the deep trust, skill, and kind-heartedness they had trained to embody.  The founder of BECOMING ANAMCARA, Richard Groves, introduced the term anamcara (soul friend) over seven hundred times in his textbook for apprentices.
