My journey has been long, winding, humbling and not completely conventional, which is why I feel so at home being of service in the profession of the Insight Clairvoyant Counsel Arts, Intuitive Spiritual Counsel [Charismata] for the Good of everyone; all are welcome. -Anne Marie at OUR CHARISMATA

Meditation and Contemplative Prayer I have an ongoing practice for over two decades of various forms of mindfulness meditation and contemplative prayer. I like to welcome others into these areas because I am still in the process of articulating how doing so serves to underpin all else that I do in a deep sense of stability; a solid foundation... yet at the same time not by my own doing.
Highlights of formal study for Meditation and Contemplative Prayer include:
Eight week course on Mindfulness at the Myrna Brind Center at Jefferson University Hospital, PA.
Full-Time Residency at Pendle Hill Quaker Center for Contemplation and Study, Pennsylvania.
Weekend Retreat at the Mount Saint Benedict Monastery Erie, PA with Sister Joan Chittister.
A class series on Celtic Spirituality with Philip Newell, former Warden of the Iona Abbey in Scotland.
Received Spiritual Direction, PA.
Continued engagement in Silent Retreats
Broadened Appreciation based on Diverse Life Experiences = non-judgement. Feel at ease, not judged, understood and respected when we connect; this is my intention.
In this Insight Counsel field, in my public service, Our Charismata, my Life and study experiences enable me to have a broader appreciation and perspective on: various cultural traditions, varying economic situations, family dynamics, various medical/therapeutic paradigms, religions, faith groups, metaphysics, and non-religious/non-spiritual orientations, gender orientations, all without judgment or presuppositions.
This broader exposure from travels, studies, and largely diverse life experiences keeps me grounded and compassionate as an Insight Counselor using the Clairvoyant - Charismata modalities.
From the time I can remember I was always in tune with a Spiritual expression of the world; using more than the five senses. This means that being a insight-clairvoyant, psychic, medium, empath, intuitive, and animal communicator [charismata], are not things that I suddenly decided I wanted to study or pursue because I was interested; rather, this way of experiencing Life has been innately heightened within me from birth. After two prior careers, circumstances in the later part of my Life led to a condensed Spiritual transformation, and a deep, sweeping change occurred within that re-aligned me with the meaning of Charismata, and its fuller place in my Life. The picture before me was decidedly clear; I discerned it was time to offer assistance for others with these beloved modalities in a full-time capacity; as a profession, a vocation. I saw their beneficial effects in my inner Life and in the Lives of those for whom I was reading. I also kept receiving assurance to continue to be of service. I started locally, branched out, and then with a strong foundation, clear ethics, depth of experience and development, along with time-honored testimonials, I opened up Our Charismata online for worldwide connections.
