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.”

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.
