    016:EcoSpirituality for the 21st Century

    We are welcoming back the Grand Arch Druid of our Order Dana O'Driscoll who joined us on episode 3.  Along with Nate who joined us on episode 8 of our podcast.  They have a book that is available for sale right now Called EcoSpirituality in the 21st Century. Revisioning Nature, Community, and Connection For a Better Tomorrow. In the introduction it asks, how much of the creation around dystopian media and genres have reenchanted our collective and our vision for ill? Then it asks what are the stories we are telling ourselves, and what is the vision we are collectively creating in the here and now? The book is described as a grimoire to dispel a dark future, and a magical act designed to help us create and reveal  a new future freeing us from the dystopian world we have all woken up to. What this book offers is a vision that takes us out of overshoot and back into a place of balance by connecting with nature, ourselves, spirit, and our communities. A “New Paradigm for the future that isn’t unique to a single community or place, but it is emerging in very diverse communities. The theme of this vision are not any single person’s vision, but a confluence of so many different people and communities learning how to reconnect and how to heal the earth, and to offer an alternative to the current vision of the future.” Eco Spirituality synthesizes information, from a range of traditions and laying out some of the most powerful tools from the worlds of magic.   The authors offer a “vision of a time when humans have repaired and explored a more balanced interaction with the living earth, a vision that offers sacred spirituality rooted in the wisdom of our ancestors, and a vision that creates a world of balance for future generations.” Eco Spirituality is Available for order at: https://thedruidsgarden.com/eco-spirituality-in-the-21st-century-revisioning-nature-community-and-connection/ Nate's Website: https://www.primalnate.com/ AODA Website: https://aoda.org/ AODA Curriculum Overview: http://aoda.org/aoda-membership/curriculum-requirements/ Gnostic Celtic Church:  https://aoda.org/aoda-structure/gnostic-celtic-church-gcc/ A Vision for AODA Druidry: Seven Core Principles of AODA: https://aoda.org/vision/ AODA Discord Server: https://discord.gg/y5CCaw7ctT AODA Forums: https://forum.aoda.org/ AODA Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/AODADruidry AODA You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs-5YgIfi1jiC_EOtViS9Wg Grand Arch Druid Dana O’Driscoll Instagram https://www.instagram.com/druidsgardenart/?hl=en Podcast Contact Email: druidwisdompodcast@gmail.com Podcast Instagram: https://instagram.com/druidwisdompodcast?utm_medium=copy_link

    013: Larisa White Author of World Druidry: A Globalizing Path of Nature Spirituality.

    Larisa White is an author, educator, and independent scholar, based in the Coast Range Mountains of California, where she spends her free time building wildlife habitats, and restoring native ecosystems on lands once tended by the Ramaytush Ohlone. Larisa was raised as a global nomad, relocating every two years as her father designed international airports. Rather than becoming rooted in one place, she spent her childhood bridging gaps between cultures. She learned local languages, participated in local religious celebrations, and adapted to local customs, seasonal cycles, and landscapes. In doing so, she discovered the joy of living the questions, exploring diverse perspectives, and always thinking a little bit differently. After completing her Ph.D. at Carnegie Mellon University, Larisa spent ten years conducting mixed-methods sociological research on the ways that people learn, grow, and change under the influence of changing educational, cultural, and technological contexts. Her research focus later shifted to the neurobiology of learning, and then to the ways in which people around the world interpret and interact with Nature. Larisa has been a practicing Druid since 2016. She was the OBOD's 23rd Mount Haemus scholar, speaking on "Seasonal Festivals in a Globalizing Tradition," in May of this year. Larisa is a Druid Adept in the AODA, a Novice Monk in the GCC Monastery, and the author of "World Druidry: A Globalizing Path of Nature Spirituality."

    011: Eryn from Plant Witch Podcast

    Eryn is a lifelong student of nature, starting her Druid path as a child peering into the Yucca flowers, climbing the mimosa and spruce trees, hiding within the viburnum with books about magic. She studied witchcraft most of her life, and found her way to Druidry as a formal path in 2021 when she joined the AODA and OBOD. Eryn is now an Apprentice in the AODA and a committed monk within the Gnostic Celtic Church. She operates the Sacred Grove Druid Home Study Circle at her family's home in South Central Pennsylvania and serves as a mentor to other Druids in the AODA. Eryn's work as an herbalist and spiritual director at The Rebel Herbalist and her podcast, The Plant Witch Podcast, are all deeply embedded in her devotion as a Druid-Witch and are central forms of expression of her monastic vocation.  AODA Website: https://aoda.org/ AODA Curriculum Overview: http://aoda.org/aoda-membership/curriculum-requirements/ Gnostic Celtic Church: https://aoda.org/aoda-structure/gnostic-celtic-church-gcc/ A Vision for AODA Druidry: Seven Core Principles of AODA: https://aoda.org/vision/ AODA Discord Server: https://discord.gg/y5CCaw7ctT AODA Forums: https://forum.aoda.org/ AODA Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/AODADruidry AODA You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs-5YgIfi1jiC_EOtViS9Wg Grand Arch Druid Dana O’Driscoll Instagram https://www.instagram.com/druidsgardenart/?hl=en Podcast Contact Email: druidwisdompodcast@gmail.com Podcast Instagram: https://instagram.com/druidwisdompodcast?utm_medium=copy_link Dave Ardrey 3rd Degree Studies: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PRlfWAP4WmqfrGtf1KMsZMuv3Olab-ywUucZleqDL5c/edit?usp=sharing Claire’s blog living Low in the Lou: http://livinglowinthelou.blogspot.com/ Jack Campbell: www.confabulatorcafe.com/author/jcampbell http://www.jackcampbelljr.com/ https://jack-campbell-jr.square.site/ Eryn Shrader website & Substack https://therebelherbalist.com/ https://erynshrader.substack.com/
