Anam Cara guest case studies
Below are just a few of the many people who've had their lives changed after a stay at Anam Cara.
Karen is a successful manager for her local authority. Divorced and in her mid-40s, she chose Anam Cara after discussing with Grace her sense of there being something missing from her life.
After a fascinating and intensive week she left with an action plan for all areas of her life, but most especially to start her own business, as a consultant in her expert area.
She said "What an amazing journey of self-discovery. Now my best life has begun, and I will never forget this experience. Thank you with all my heart"
James is a solicitor in a busy and successful practice. This was his lifetime ambition, and he was financially successful, but found that the demands of his work and the need to support his working wife and young family left him feeling drained most of the time. He found himself asking himself "is this it?"
After his week at Anam Cara he left with a number of strategies to reduce his stress and manage his time more effectively, and an action plan to implement them. He also decided to spend time with his wife developing a vision for the future.
He said "I just needed some time to get off the merry-go-round my life had become and to look at what was really happening to me in the here and now. I arrived at Anam Cara feeling I was in a mess and left with a Life Purpose!"
Debbie is a beautiful young woman working in a busy solicitors' office. At 36 years old, she was shy and had little success with relationships of any kind, and buried herself in work.
After her stay at Anam Cara and some follow-up coaching, she has addressed her work-life balance and is now forming a relationship with a man she cares for. Her family relationships are also much easier.
She said "it was the retreat element which really made the difference for me. I had a whole week in the company of like-minded people to focus completely on myself, without the distractions of everyday life"
Tony had a great career record with a large insurance company, but in his mid-40s he found that his career ladder had been against the wrong wall. He had also had a series of unsuccessful relationships, "rescuing" women but never forming a lasting bond.
Successful but lonely, Tony came to Anam Cara and left with a different view of the world. He has changed careers and has recently become engaged, planning to start a family in the near future.
"Sometimes you need someone to help you see how you can get in your own way, and what false messages you have been giving yourself. Grace and Alan at Anam Cara have helped me to make a new start, and my life is more fulfilling than it's ever been!"
