Have you ever wondered about the ancient Druids of Ireland?

From the very oldest records of Irish society, Druids have been here, providing insights, wisdom, direction, and powerful practices. They were part of - and yet separate from - the structures of tribal rule. But how did one become a Druid in ancient Ireland, and what did they actually do?

This online course will explore those very questions, and uncover whether the Druids were all destroyed or if some facet of their presence still exists in our world today.

We're taking a look into the heart of Irish Druidic practice and spirituality, with Irish Bard and Storyteller Jon O'Sullivan.


Why You Should Enroll

  • A Connection to the Past: "Druidry to me means connecting with the ancient and modern practices of the Celtic landscape," said one of our students. This course offers you a unique opportunity to explore Ireland's spiritual legacy and understand the true essence of Druidry.
  • Authentic Knowledge: Many have shared concerns about the misappropriation of Druidry, stating that "Modern Druidry is a convoluted mess." Our course is designed to provide you with authentic knowledge directly from a native Irish bard, ensuring respect and accuracy.
  • Personal and Spiritual Growth: "Druidry is about connecting with nature, honoring the earth, and engaging in spiritual practices," another student mentioned. This course will guide you through practical exercises and rituals that can be integrated into your daily life, helping you grow spiritually and personally.

Loved receiving this class from Jon! His approachable manner makes the lecture portion easy to take in and understand, and the content, including the resources he points learners to, will keep on giving. I'm queer and transmasculine, and so it's really important for me to learn about deities in the Irish tradition who present us with alternative models of masculinity. Thank you Jon and the IPS for bringing us this class!
