A sanctuary for rest and accompaniment.
Anam Cara Sanctuary is a small practice space in Mt. Lebanon created for rest, presence and accompaniment.
Created as a place of beauty, dignity and belonging, the sanctuary offers gentle practices that invite rest, presence and connection. Whether you are joining a weekly practice, a seasonal offering or an individual practice, each offering is held within the spirit of accompaniment.
Everything is offered as an invitation.
There are many pathways into practice. Each practice offers a unique pathway into rest, presence and accompaniment.
Gathering:
October 12 - November 22
There are many ways we gather.
We gather things from the natural world. We gather around tables and fires, around what nourishes us, draws our attention or invites us to come closer.
This autumn, practices at Anam Cara will gather around simple centers of attention and experience. We can gather around the same center without needing to share the same experience.
This season at Anam Cara:
Embodied Rest - Wednesdays & select Thursdays
Supported Yoga & Rest - Select Thursdays
Tea Sit - Sunday, October 18 & November 8

The tea bar will be ready. Cushions and blankets will be out.
Come in, make a cup of tea and find a place to settle. Bring a book or something you’re working on, write in a journal, rest, share a quiet conversation or simply spend some time in the company of others.
There is no practice to follow-just space to be here in whatever way feels right for you.
