Mentoring

Mentoring Program for Women
“A 9-Month Journey into the Teachings of the Triple Spiral”

Designed & Facilitated by Rev. Kathleen McKern Verigin

Next Circle Forming September 2012

Is there a stirring in your soul that begs for a safe place to roam and explore?
Do you long for a listener who is spiritually mature, open, candid, compassionate and caring? Are you ready to look deeply into the metaphysical mirror, seeing the eyes of an anam cara gazing back at you?

What is Anam Cara?
From Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom by John O’Donohue

“...someone who joyfully embraces their life, questions and suffering as an extension of their own – someone with whom we can speak the language of the heart – someone one’s soul cannot be without.”

“...every soul friend needs another with whom to pray, to seek advice, to help discern the sometimes imperceptible movements of the heart.”

“...soul friends are a way toward union with God.”

Rev. Kathleen has served as an Anam Cara Mentor to hundreds of spiritual seekers, including ministerial students, successful business people, educators, couples, and clergy. “Mentoring,” says Kathleen, “means that I have walked a similar spiritual path and have swept it clean just a few steps ahead of you.”

Attributes of a Soul Friend
(MENTORING, The Ministry of Spiritual Kinship by Edward C. Sellner)
  • Maturity
  • Compassion
  • Genuine respect for others
  • Confidential
  • Self-disclosure
  • Need to be something of a scholar, ability to continually reflect on a personal level
  • Questions and experiences in relationship with God
  • Ability to discern the movements of the spirit in the heart

Invitation from Rev. Kathleen
Is there a stirring in your soul, a longing to belong to an intimate group of like-spirited women who will see you for who you are and support you in who you are becoming?

Is there a stirring in your soul, to “come home to yourself” as you reclaim the sacred contract you agreed to in this lifetime but have yet to fully activate?

Is there a stirring in your soul, to embody the Divine Feminine—to live it, to breathe it, to allow it to ooze forth from every part of your being?

While on retreat in Ireland, over three consecutive years, I received a series of visions that may apply to you. Please consider what I share, in this message and in the attachment, as a possible “next step” on your spiritual journey, and a provocative invitation for you to join me and a small group of other wise women in a 9-month life changing adventure of the soul.  

In September 2012 I will assemble a 9th circle of anam caras for a 9-month gestation process that will deliver each woman to initiation—as priestess, healer, holy woman, clan mother, artist, shaman, seeker, visionary, spiritual warrior or whatever archetype is calling to her. This is not light, airy fairy work. Rather, it will be deep work of the soul in the company of anam caras, your soul friends.  There is no more time to waste. Life is demanding that we claim our aliveness and live our holiness—at home, at work, and at play. The time is now, and we are the ones!

Nature continues to be my primary teacher of spiritual wisdom. That’s why the program is 9 months, a pattern of conceiving, gestating and birthing that all humans experience, unique to all women as it is we who carry the power to give birth. (This regardless of whether we have birthed human children or not.) There are 52 wise women who have completed the course with me, and every woman is living a more authentic and empowered life. It looks different for each individual. Some have launched new career paths. Some have left bad relationships and found new love, while some have entered into more soulful connections with their partners. Some have forgiven adoptive or abusive parents, while some have discovered how to parent from a soulful place. A few have tapped into their psychic abilities. A couple of women have changed their names.
 
All have become soul friends to one another, including becoming a soul friend to the self. It's a sisterhood that you will not find anywhere else. Not because it's better, but because it is spirit based rather than personality based, within an intimate circle of trusted women, and following a 9-month blueprint provided by Mother Nature. It is my calling, and I am calling to you. If you say yes, know in advance that you are saying yes to your soul's desire, not to me.

What does your soul desire?
What does your soul want to create?
What is the next best step along your soul’s path?

Details of the 2012-2013 anam cara circle will be posted Summer of 2012.
