Do you want - to take your search for God seriously?
Do you want to talk to someone confidentially about the struggles and joys of your life and where God may be found in them ?
If you do - it entails
searching for god
A desire to be open to God in your life,
A willingness to reflect on your life and prayer, however you understand it,
A regular meeting with your companion (spiritual director) - your anamchara
"The anamchara is a person to whom you could reveal the hidden intimacies of your life. This friendship is an act of recognition and belonging. When you have an anamchara, your friendship cuts across all convention and category. You are joined in an ancient and eternal way with the friend of your soul. When you are blessed with an anamchara, the Irish believe, you have arrived at that most sacred place: home."
