In todays episode we go through John O’Donohue’s Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom, a timeless work that invites us to rethink friendship, belonging, and the sacredness of human connection.

Anam Cara means “soul friend,” is at the heart of Celtic spirituality. It represents a bond that transcends time, distance, and even death a friendship where two people see each other at the level of the soul. Knowing to live with clarity, presence, and intention. It’s about learning how to slow down, rediscover belonging, and honor the sacredness of ordinary life.
