Intro to the Anamchara Fellowship Community!

Featured ~ Brianne Turczynski
I’m so excited for this journey! I have just joined the Anamchara Fellowship as a seeker for Aspirancy. Anamchara is a religious order of disbursed people from all walks of life canonically recognized by the Episcopal Church at large. It is for people who wish to continue their spiritual journey in a community. Together we pray the same prays each day and meet each night over zoom (the community is all over the US and the world) for evening prayers. The community uses the Northumbria Community book of Celtic Daily Prayer, every prayer in the book is so beautiful and flowing with green, rich Life. Each individual is committed to a certain Rule of Life which usually involves intentional prayer, recreation (exercise, art, music, whatever you love, etc.), meditation, and what I would call ‘gazing’ at God in all Creation—which is, at its heart, the Celtic way. I felt after doing eight months of my discernment course with the diocese that joining a monastic community was what I was called to do right now and bringing a piece of it, hopefully, back to the parishioners of my parish to benefit not just me, but all.

  1. 12/17/23. Brianne, I just read your website for the first time. I am well into my 60s and inspired by all you have done thus far in your young life. Are you still participating in the Celtic spiritual community? I am also a seeker of higher levels of spiritual growth beyond St. Phil’s.
    Blessings to you and your family for a glorious Christmas and 2024. – Susan Berg

    1. Thanks Susan!! It’s funny, I’ve been thinking about picking up with Anamcara again. I stopped my membership for a while because I was having a hard time balancing some stuff. I feel like I’ve just been floating since. I could talk to you anytime about it if it’s something you’re considering.
