to
1.) First
of all it is a place where I can find help, a leading hand and a listening ear
for my problems and sorrows. It is like an oasis in the desert.
to 2.) It should be a new size of community and parish work. People should learn to open their houses and minds to help each other in relaxing, trusting and “filling up” their minds.
to 3.) The initiative St. Anna e.V. is the “roof” above all and founded the ANNA-HOUSE. The ANNA-HOUSE is the “first house”, the motherhouse, and simultaneous the school- and trainingscenter for the ANNA-HOUSE-WORKER and place of the administration.
to
4.) The
ANNA-HOUSE was founded in april 2002, too. It is the location where the seminars
take place and the administration has its home. The ANNA-HOUSE wants to be a new
kind of meeting- and communication place.
The
school- and trainingscenter: It is open to everybody. You don´t need to be a member of the
initiative to take part in the seminars. The seminars want to mediate old and
new health keeping and health supporting methods. Lecturers who work for the
trainingcenter are especially therapists and pastors or other competent people.
Twice a year there will be an information program published on this page which
wants to inform about the offered programs and their costs. You can find the
program on the german sides, but they are still in german.
The
motherhouse:
It is the “heart of the house” and the center of meditation, communication
and well-being. Conversations and the “help for life” take place here.
The administration: All demands for help, seminars or other information are coordinated at the administration. If you ask for help of an ANNA-HOUSE-WORKER the administration will talk to one of them and coordinate his or her employment.
to
5.) The
ANNA-HOUSE-WORKERS are active members of the St. Anna – association. They work
voluntarily in the name of the association. They want to help with conversations,
meditations and other relaxing practices ( for example a calm prayer).
They
can work internal and external. Internal means that they can lead classes or
seminars in the motherhouse, they can be self-employed as an “I AM AN
ANNA-HOUSE” and do the work which is described above.
External
means that they can do house visits for caring and companying in lifecrisis.
to
6.) ANNA-HOUSE-WORKERS
don’t want to heal somebody’s illnesses, they don’t have to be therapists
or doctors and they do not practice occult things!!
to
7.) The
ANNA-HOUSE-WORKER has to be an active member of the association and has to be
willing to work for its idea. That means to identify with the idea and to work
according to the fixed ideas of the association.
to
8.) Everybody
can be an ANNA-HOUSE-WORKER. You just have to identify with the idea and the
methods of the association. Your strength and your individual abilities can help
other people to be a new and important part of the community, to become balanced
or just to get back the ability of managing their own life with all its
difficulties and bright sides.
to 9.) It is a symbol for the feeling of being accepted, guided and cared. It’s not a sect or an ecclesiastical institution but Saint Ann is the patron of the association.
to 10.) This is a small “motherhouse” with similar working orders.
to
11.) The
idea is not to heal everybody but that everybody can take up help, no matter
which age, which kind of sickness or which religion. You don’t need a
prescription and you can pay what you want or what you are able to.
to
12.) It
is mainly practicable in daily life. For the association it is very important
that help begins there where the problems begin: in daily life.
A
good conversation while drinking a cup of coffee or tea, a listening ear, a
helping hand or just a smiling face can cause wonders. This work is a meaningful
and useful complement to the common work of doctors, therapists and pastors.
to
13.) No.
That only means that they don’t have to be studies therapists or doctors to be
able to help. Amateurs and experts go hand n hand to complete each other and to
make sure that everybody gets the individual support he or she needs.
to
14.)
That
is not contradictory. You can pray together with your clients if they want to.
Additional you can lay your hands on in a calm prayer to give comfort and
strength to this person.
Therefore
it’s not important which religion you have or your client has.
In
a year, many of the ANNA-HOUSE-WORKERS or other interested persons meet at a
monastery for talking, meditating or praying together regardless which
confession they have.
