Anam Cara is a Gaelic expression 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 is someone with whom you could share your innermost self, mind and heart. This soul friendship is an act of recognition and belonging, helping us return to the hearth 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. Anam Cara lies 600 feet above sea level and overlooks the city of Inverness with stunning southerly views towards the Monadhliath Mountains. We are only three miles from the city centre yet surrounded by farm and woodland.

Ancient Ways - Introduction to Shamanism
Report
Shamanism is the most time tested mind/body healing method that we know of today, dating back at least 40,000 years. It was practised in all five continents, which includes the Celtic and Pictish peoples of ancient Britain. Through the use of these ancient ways, participants will be initiated into 'shamanic journeying', a remarkable visionary method employed to access other realms and discover individual spirit helpers and teachers.
Two Year Shamanic Practitioner Training

The core intention of this training is to learn and practice a wide range of time honoured shamanic methods of healing and transformation, building confidence in their application and nurturing the role and responsibilities as a shamanic practitioner. This inevitably requires a willingness to deep self-enquiry on what will be a powerful personal journey.
