An invitation to soul friendship.

About Anam Cara

Welcome! My name is Tara Owens, and as the executive director of Anam Cara Ministries, I’m delighted that you are here. Our vision for Anam Cara is to provide a place dedicated to the practice of soul friendship, coming alongside one another in order to facilitate healing, wholeness, holiness, and spiritual formation.

Slowing Down

A few things we think are worth experiencing with intentionality and without haste:
  • Catch me in my scurrying

    Topics Explored: Lent

    Excerpt:

    Catch me in my anxious scurrying, Lord, and hold me in this Lenten season . . .

     

     

  • Offer Empty

    Topics Explored: Spiritual Direction, Spiritual Disciplines

    Excerpt:

    Offering empty is not the same as offering nothing. The neighbors did not shake their heads, close their doors and turn this widow away. No, they gave, but they gave empty, enlarging the space for an outpouring of grace.

  • A Brief Intro to the Ignatian Exercises

    Topics Explored: Spiritual Disciplines, Guest Post

    Excerpt:

    For Ignatius the love of God is central. Everything rests upon it.
