What
is a Culdee?
“Culdees”,
translated from the Gaelic, means both "certain strangers"
and "children of the Divine". Following an ancient
spirituality, the Culdees are both healers and teachers. Celtic
spirituality emphasizes seeking the Divine within ourselves and
within nature. All creation is connected and that connection is the
total reality of the Divine in which all is one. Therefore, all is
Divine.
What
is Contemplative Metaphysics?
Contemplative
metaphysics studies the inner universe and experiences the Divine in
one's own inner world. That inner experience leads to true knowledge
and true knowledge can change the individual. And one individual can
change the world.
What
can you offer?
We
offer spiritual mentoring in the tradition of the Anam Cara, and a
variety of services including energy-based healing, biometric
analysis, and guided visualization. We also offer personal
development through seminars, classes and workshops to assist you in
attaining a balance of body, mind and spirit to better reach your
optimal spiritual level.
The
Anam Cara serves as a mentor. Mentoring is a process of transmitting
information in order to bring people to a decision. It is a process
which impacts on the body, mind and spirit in a way which can be both
experienced and acted upon. Spiritual mentoring assists in
identifying spiritual goals and developing a plan of action. It also
provides individualized guidance and instruction. It is not
psychotherapy. The Center offers spiritual mentoring sessions both in
person and through regularly scheduled telephone meetings. Additional
contact via email may also take place either to provide materials or
additional information as needed.
What
can that do for me?
As
a global community which is receiving constant challenge and growth
at every turn, the imbalance between our internal and external
realities is becoming ever more apparent. We must address the need of
the inner being to experience and express and develop new techniques
with which we may better address those external systems in ways that
uphold our inner values. We
find happiness when we are in alignment with the Divinity within and
honor the Divinity all around us.
What
is mentoring?
In
the Celtic tradition, bonds of friendship are extremely important.
The epitome of this is the concept of the “anam
cara” or soul
friend. The anam cara is someone to whom you could reveal your
innermost thoughts and feelings. The anam cara acts as a mirror and
reflects back to you the depths of your own soul. According to St
Bridget, “a
person without a soul friend is like a body without a head.”
