1. Protector; warrior, champion.
These words – protector, warrior, champion – mean different things to each of us. For one person, it may be the impulse to create something necessary and new, for another, the urge to protect the things they find most beautiful in the world. It can often be as simple as dedicating yourself to the thing that makes you feel most alive.
The focus of our work at Ánradh is to help you understand what matters most to you – your values, your beliefs, your passion – and to then empower you to align your life to these. We want to help you to peel away the stories society has told you about what you should do with your life, and encourage you to actively choose the life you long for instead.
Finding that clarity takes time and space. It involves conversation and reflection and, most of all, courage. It asks us to question not only what is good for us, but what is good for the world.
Our intention is to give you the tools to live a life you’ll be proud of, and to help you navigate the world in a meaningful, empowered and intentional way. We want to take you on a journey to the place where you will feel most alive. For as Howard Thurman once said, “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
