 Anamchara (pronounced "ahn-im-Kar'-uh") is the Celtic word for "soul friend."
In times past, pilgrims would travel vast distances to seek spiritual mentoring from an Anamchara. The soul-friend would greet the seeker with prayers, anointings, foot-washing, and holy conversation. The Celts said, "Anyone without a soul-friend is like a body without a head."
Evan Hodkins is an Anamchara. He regards the people who visit him as seekers - not clients, not patients. He knows that dreams are the language of God. He prays without apology for each seeker throughout the week. And every concern is always considered in light of the Divine Source.
Working on the soul entails extracting wisdom from heart-wrenching experiences endured on the earth plane. Through soul-work we deepen. Engaging the spirit takes us to the cutting edge of our unfoldment into the crowning of our Sacred Selves. It's how God decorates us with glory. Through spirit-work we quicken. Evan mentors in both languages: that of soul, that of spirit.
Persons desiring soul-friending should exhibit a fundamental quality of psychological wholeness and be fully ready to soar into their maximum spiritual vibrancy. Sessions may very well include meditation, prayer, dream work, rites of passage, healing ceremonies, and holy conversation. Meetings are opportunities for shared communion with the Beloved.
