Most of our problems, both individual and social, seem to come from our sense of alienation, of being disconnected: from Nature, from our hearts, from our Selves, from others, from Spirit. Joining the Order helps us re-build these connections, or re-member them. By celebrating the seasonal festivals and working with the sacred plants and animals of Druid tradition we get closer in touch with the natural world. By working with the experiential exercises in the course and on retreats, workshops and summercamps we open up to our hearts and the hearts of others. And as we connect and network across the world with others of like mind and feeling, through NOBOD or Touchstone, we come to experience a real sense of community, which touches us even deeper when we actually meet in the physical world.
