What
people are saying about Anam Cara...
"You took me out of this
world and into my soul. I was completely
entranced – blessed – honored –
validated… I have not truly laughed,
doubled over with my head on the floor,
since I can’t even remember. Copious
tears washed bad ju-ju from all my
senses and win-win play filled me up
with joy that rocked and jiggled my
feet. I often find myself drifting south
to the lovely room of sleeping women,
the forest stream, the Tibetan bells and
the insistent drums under the
starlight."
Joanne McCartan, Cropseyville, NY
“Like many men, I have learned to be
uncomfortable with tender touch. Yet
somehow, I found myself letting go and
relaxing into an experience of great
safety, healing and much joy. I left
feeling physically, emotionally and
spiritually refreshed.”
Morrie Kleinplatz, Ph.D., psychologist,
Windsor, Ontario
"The program was stellar....learning to
be with each other in deeper and richer
ways. You created an incredibly safe and
sacred space in which we could all float
to our edges and flow into new
possibilities. The experience helped us
deepen as individuals and as a group."
Marti Glenn, Ph.D., President, Santa
Barbara Graduate Institute, Santa
Barbara, CA
"My time at this oasis was enlivening
and honouring of my spiritual path. This
life-renewing centre oozes spirit and
called me to be my fullest, freest self.
Jo and Moira are open, kind, creative.
In being who they are, they offer this
gift to those who journey with them -
the opportunity to be just who you
are... and that is so freeing."
Mary Meighan, M.S.W. M.L.A. Founder,
Celtic Journeys, Dublin, Ireland
Our time together was inspirational and
as deeply nourishing as anything we have
done together. Jo and Moira created an
atmosphere so loving and sacred that we
just fell into the depths and into each
other through the loving touch. I feel
so grateful to you two for creating the
opportunity for us to take community yet
deeper. I don't know when I have felt it
so tangibly. I am blissed by the
experience."
Sarah Sadler, Founder, Evergreen Cove
Holistic Learning Center, Easton, MD
What
about safety?
We make every reasonable effort to ensure
safety here. This is a natural

We are allergic. Anam Cara is here for

and quiet of the environment and be
considerate of the other guests. We
reserve the right to ask any guest who is
not respecting other guests or who is
destructive in this environment to leave.

the policy on smoking, alcohol and
illegal substances?
