  • Dana O'Driscoll - Dana is the Grand Arch Druid of AODA in the US along with being a lifelong student of nature spirituality and Druidry and has been practicing for 18 years. She has authored of multiple books that focus on nature spirituality and neopagan practices through the lenses of reverence, respect, and direct action on behalf of the living earth. 

  • Nate Summers has authored several books as well studying with a number of amazing teachers and mentors over the years.  Nate's approach is a blend and mix of the lineages.  Ultimately, his goal in writing, teaching, and mentoring is to help people discover their own truths and ways with the guidance and wisdom handed down through the ages and through many powerful lineages. Nate hopes to empower people in their lives, to help them discover ease, peace and confidence, and to be lit up inside with their own primal passion, vitality, and power.

  • Dana and Nate talk about their new book "Eco-Spirituality in the 21st Century: ReVisioning Nature, Community, and Connection for a Better Tomorrow" an incredible title for an incredible book.  Eco-Spirituality offers a new vision for nature spirituality both by drawing upon ancient, ancestral connections and by visioning human-nature-spirit connections for a brighter future. The authors combine their collective skill sets in druidry, wilderness survival skills, permaculture, and more, to create this new framework for engaging in an eco-centric spiritual practice and lifestyle in the 21st century.  Stay tuned for this compelling chat about Eco-Spirituality!
