SUMMARY:Anam Cara - Women's Christmas
DESCRIPTION:January 6\, 2020 – Women’s Christmas\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere is a custom\, rooted in Ireland\, of celebrating Epiphany (January 6\, which brings the Christmas season to a close) as Women’s Christmas. It originated as a day when the women\, who often carried the domestic responsibilities all year\, took Epiphany as an occasion to celebrate together at the end of the holidays\, leaving hearth and home to the men for a few hours. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWomen’s Christmas offers a timely opportunity to pause and step back from whatever has kept you busy and hurried in the past weeks or months. As the Christmas season comes to a close\, this is an occasion both to celebrate with friends and also to spend time in reflection before diving into the responsibilities of this new year.\n                    –Jan L. Richardson\, author\, In the Sanctuary of Women \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnam Cara\nAn Ongoing Women’s Group of Brigid’s Place\, Houston\nWe meet at Christ Church Cathedral  \non the 1st Monday evening of Each Month.\nJoin us as we Celebrate Women’s Spirituality in this Ongoing Group of Brigid’s Place. \nThis is a time to meet one another and to learn what it means to be a soul friend.  We are Women joining together\, opening our hearts to one another\, awakening our inner lights and letting the beauty of our soul flow together on this journey called Life. \nJohn O’Donohue describes an AnamCara in this way … \n“Anam is the Gaelic word for soul and cara is the word for friend.  So anam cara is the Celtic word for “soul friend”.  With an anam cara you can share your innermost self\, your mind and your heart.  This friendship is an act of recognition and belonging.  When you have an anam cara\, your friendship cuts across all convention\, morality\, and category.  You are joined in an ancient and eternal way with the “friend of your soul.”  The Celtic understanding did not set limitations of space or time on the soul.  This art of belonging awakens and fosters a deep and special companionship.” \nThis ongoing circle of women will enjoy friendship and grow together spiritually through book studies\, art making\, and the sharing of sacred times together. \nWomen’s Group Schedule: \nFirst Monday evening of each Month\, 6:30 to 8:30 (unless the first Monday falls on a holiday\, in which case the meeting will be held on an alternate date to be announced) \nMcGehee Room of Christ Church Cathedral at 1117 Texas Ave\nFree parking across San Jacinto in the Cathedral parking garage. \n  \nThere is no charge for this ongoing group\, but please register so we have an idea of the number of participants to expect. \n[button link=”https://brigidsplace.ejoinme.org/MyPages/AnamCaraOngoingWomensGroupofBrigidsPlace/tabid/854351/Default.aspx” color=”darkgreen” size=”medium” stretch=”” type=”” shape=”” target=”_blank” title=”” gradient_colors=”|” gradient_hover_colors=”|” accent_color=”#dd9933″ accent_hover_color=”” bevel_color=”” border_width=”1px” icon=”” icon_divider=”yes” icon_position=”left” modal=”” animation_type=”0″ animation_direction=”down” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” alignment=”left” class=”” id=””]REGISTER NOW[/button]

SUMMARY:Anam Cara - Ongoing Women's Group
DESCRIPTION:Anam Cara\nAn Ongoing Women’s Group of Brigid’s Place\, Houston\nWe meet at Christ Church Cathedral \non the First Monday evening of Each Month.\n  \nJoin us as we Birth a new Women’s Spirituality Group at Brigid’s Place. \nThis is a time to meet one another and to learn what it means to be a soul friend.  We are Women joining together\, opening our hearts to one another\, awakening our inner lights and letting the beauty of our soul flow together on this journey called Life. \nJohn O’Donohue describes an AnamCara in this way … \n“Anam is the Gaelic word for soul and cara is the word for friend.  So anam cara is the Celtic word for “soul friend”.  With an anam cara you can share your innermost self\, your mind and your heart.  This friendship is an act of recognition and belonging.  When you have an anam cara\, your friendship cuts across all convention\, morality\, and category.  You are joined in an ancient and eternal way with the “friend of your soul.”  The Celtic understanding did not set limitations of space or time on the soul.  This art of belonging awakens and fosters a deep and special companionship.” \nThis ongoing circle of women will enjoy friendship and grow together spiritually through book studies\, art making\, and the sharing of sacred times together. \nThe Friendship of Women (the Hidden Tradition of the Bible) \nWe are currently studying The Friendship of Women by Joan Chittister.  Copies will be available for purchase at our meetings\, as well as being available at the Cathedral Bookstore. \n  \nWomen’s Group Schedule: \nFirst Monday evening of each Month\, 6:30 to 8:30 \nMcGehee Room of Christ Church Cathedral at 1117 Texas Ave\nFree parking across San Jacinto in the Cathedral parking garage. \n  \nThere is no charge for this ongoing group\, but please register so we have an idea of the number of participants to expect. \n[button link=”https://brigidsplace.ejoinme.org/MyPages/AnamCaraOngoingWomensGroupofBrigidsPlace/tabid/854351/Default.aspx” color=”darkgreen” size=”medium” stretch=”” type=”” shape=”” target=”_blank” title=”” gradient_colors=”|” gradient_hover_colors=”|” accent_color=”#dd9933″ accent_hover_color=”” bevel_color=”” border_width=”1px” icon=”” icon_divider=”yes” icon_position=”left” modal=”” animation_type=”0″ animation_direction=”down” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” alignment=”left” class=”” id=””]REGISTER NOW[/button]
