We are very pleased to announce we are returning to in-person sessions starting January 2024.
The course will consist of four in-person weekends over the course the year, the final one being the first weekend in October. These sessions are held in Maine. Between weekends there will be monthly video conference-based sessions for continued learning and sharing. The weekends begin on Friday evening and go to Sunday afternoon. Tentative months for the weekends will be January, April, June, August, and October.
The Druid College offers a three-year program in crafting sacred relationship. Our course is a path of awakened celebration and service to the land, the people, and the Divine; by which we hope to guide the apprentice to be a priest of Nature.
Committing to the three-year program isn’t necessary to begin. The decision to continue study is done year to year.
The three-year priesthood training is outlined below. Click the link for each year for more detailed descriptions. More information regarding the nature of the training can be provided upon inquiry. To register, please filled out this registration form.
