Anam Cara
In the Celtic tradition, there is a beautiful saying, Anam Cara, which means ‘Soul Friend.’ Drawing from the world’s wisdom traditions, Spirit Garden Books offers programs, resources, and reflections that befriend the soul and nurture a contemplative way of life. Here is a little bit about what we offer:
Ritual & Ceremony
Across traditions, ritual and ceremony is used to connect to our inner life and honour our life transitions. Ritual and Ceremony is a language of the soul and creates sacred space. At Spirit Garden, we offer support for incorporating ritual and ceremony into your daily living and special moments, whether it is blessing a new home, a baby, a retirement, creating a wedding ceremony, or celebrating life.
Spiritual Practices
Spiritual practices can offer a foundation and framework that supports our daily living. From walking in nature, to meditation, prayer and inspirational reading, spiritual practices nurture and enliven the soul. At Spirit Garden, we incorporate contemplative practices into all our offerings and hope that they will support you in ways that sooth the soul, spark creativity and deepen gratitude, peace and presence.
Contemplative Courses
We delight in offering on-line courses and in-person retreats that explore contemplative spirituality. Our programs draw inspiration from the heart of the world’s wisdom traditions to support your spiritual journey.

Our Offerings
Our on-line courses and products feature interactive materials that help you tend to your soul. Whether it is through journaling practices, creative activities or spiritual practices, you will find something here that engages you. We also delight in building community and learning together with on-line book studies and discussions. We look forward to having you join us soon!
Book Studies
A book study is a way to have delicious conversation about things that are meaningful. Periodically, Kathy hosts a book study through Zoom and would be delighted to have you join.
Journaling
Journaling can be a path of discovery, one that helps us listen to our soul. In our shop, courses and blog posts you will find downloadable journals with questions and prompts for exploration.
Creative Expression
Aristotle once said that the soul never thinks without an image. We express these images through music, poetry, pottery, art, photography, writing and more. In our courses, we invite the creative expression of the soul.

Welcome Friend
I am Kathy Roy and I founded Spirit Garden Books because I love to create portable sacred spaces for beauty seekers and wisdom keepers. Whether it be through books, essays, hand-crafted journals, on-line courses or retreats, my passion is to create containers for you to deepen your connection to yourself and the Sacred.
It has always been my dream to offer people a soft place to land in order to replenish before carrying on, I hope you experience that gentleness when you visit this on-line space.
With warm blessings,
Kathy
