We spoke about how burnout impacts us, and how we avoid it (when we're able to). In particular, a lot of our discussion talks about our responsibility as current leaders to create space for new blood and how to deal with the parts of our work as leaders that just don't feed us (spoiler alert: it's delegation, boundaries, and trust).

2020-07-1621 minDruids In Cars, Going To FestivalsEpisode 57 - Falling Off the Study HorseWe all fall off the horse from time to time, especially when it comes to study and the "homework" portion of our "religion with homework."
Today, we talk about how we get back onto the path of study when we've had issues doing the work we wanted to finish. Strategies for organization, accountability, and mutual checkins are covered, and we talk a bit about the tools we've created to help others get through.
We mostly talk about ADF study programs, but you can apply a lot of this to any sort of independent study.

Druids In Cars, Going To FestivalsS3 Bonus Meditation 01 - A Hearth Keeper's Two PowersOne of the things that Rev. Avende and Rev. Dangler have been talking about (not in cars, not going to festivals, but otuside of that) is the lack of connection that social distancing and stay-at-home experiences can have on folks. So, for a while, we're going to offer meditations on this podcast every Tuesday for a while, upping our content so that folks at home can seek better connections in this disconnected time.
Drawn from the ADF Hearth Keeper's Way, our first meditation is a simple Two Powers. You can find the script on the ADF webiste...
2020-05-1908 minDruids In Cars, Going To FestivalsEpisode 50 - Marking the Seasons, Marking TimeWe all experience the same seasons and the same cycles, but we perceive them in different ways: markers are personal, special, and different depending on how we interact with those cycles and seasons, and today we talk a bit about how we mark the passage of time as Pagans.
This is our 50th regular episode, and we have some new things on the horizon: look for a new segment next week, releasing on Tuesdays.

2020-05-1421 minDruids In Cars, Going To FestivalsEpisode 49 - Seeking Truth in Vision, Dreams, and DivinationWhat happens when your vision or your divination doesn't come to pass?
There are a lot of things that happen in our Vision Eye, and oracles of cards and runes or of strange earthly perfumes give us many notions of what might come to pass. In today's episode, we have a wide-ranging conversation about the many ways that vision can be obtained, and talk about how to discern symbols and their meanings in the face of experience and our lives.
Special in this episode, we hit a New England toll both, and there is a "...

It's not the bulk of the episode, but it's not insignificant.
How we wish we were going to Trillium this year, but we're not, alas. This is another episode from recording on our way to Harvest Nights Gathering last year.

That said, though this was recorded before our current Stay-At-Home life, we did talk about how to manage people who cannot be present at a wedding, whether because they are ancestors, or perhaps they are unable to come (around the 29:30 mark). We hope you're able to join...

Well, it turns out that even though we can't actually go to festivals, we recorded a large number of episodes on the way to Harvest Nights Gathering late last year. So, we have a back catalog from a simpler time that we can all enjoy listening to during this rather difficult period.
This intro was recorded during a mission to obtain the constituent parts of a garden for Rev...

While we're usually audio-only, on our way to Harvest Nights Gathering in Connecticut, we decided to try something new. With a 360 camera in our back seat, we experimented to see what it might be like to sit and listen in. With the topic of tech in ritual, this seemed like an obvious opportunity to try something new and different out.
You can check out the 360 video (and even...

Check out the video on the 3CG YouTube page... and maybe consider subscribing, because there's another video we're also working on to release shortly!
In this episode we talk about the similarities and the differences of being an ADF Initiate and an ADF Priest, how the direction we came at each role affects our experiences, and how those experiences manifest in our daily work and lives.

Crystal Groves' discussion of marketing and social media strategies at Trillium 2019, we had a discussion about the creative process, what it means to connect people to others, and what it's like to produce the words for the really hard things that happen in our lives.
We also talk about ensuring that people approaching Druidry are able to see themselves as valid, joyful participants in Druidry.

We have the answers to all these questions and more in this episode! This episode was recorded at Trillium 2019, on the way home (we very much recommend Trillium if you're looking for a festival early next year).
We're closing in on the end of our season, and running out of recorded material. But that's okay! We're developing an off-season plan so that you get more episodes and different content, plus new guests. And, we're headed to Harvest...
2019-09-2010 minDruids In Cars, Going To FestivalsEpisode 39 - Multifaith Household ReligionSometimes, Druids flying to festivals get picked up by Druids in cars, and that's where this conversation comes from: Rev. Avende was picking up people on their way to Summerland 2019, and took Melitta Stafford with her, which led to this conversation about creating family traditions in a multifaith household.
There's a wide-ranging conversation covering different ways we come to Paganism, how our virtues interact with householding, different family structures, and the ways that polytheism and Paganism lend themselves to creating structures that aren't traditional but are still amazing.

Hemlock Vales Protogrove, ADF, lasted for about three years in State College, PA, before it was disbanded. This interview is a sort of post-mortem on what happened several years ago.
Too often, we talk about what works for getting a group off the ground, but we don't always remember to talk about when it's time to close that group down and move on.
This conversation is about reflecting on what went r...

Druids In Cars, Going To FestivalsEpisode 30 - The Druid Elevator PitchComFest is one of the largest events Three Cranes Grove, ADF, does all year. It's a local music/beer/arts/hippie festival here in Columbus, Ohio, and our Grove hangs out to meet people and enjoy the summer (or roast in its heat, depending on who you talk to). There's not another generally public event where we see quite so many people who fit squarely into the "target audience" of modern Druidry.
Part of what makes this event interesting is that in seeing so many people, we have to condense down what "Our Own Druidry" is, and...

We talk about our own experiences with the program, how the program has changed and improved, what the common stumbling blocks are, and strategies to get around them. We also talk about new ways to look at the Nine Virtues and how to approach some of the requirements creatively.

Avende sat down to do another interview, which you'll hear in early July.
One of the really nice things about this episode is you can hear some of the background sound that you'll hear at a festival: birds in the background, folks breaking camp, and the wind in the trees. It's a...

We agreed in advance: no preparation or editing in post allowed! You get the full extent of our inspiration during the prayers.

Of all the people we could talk to about this, Rev. Henderson is the person we most wanted to chat with, and we're so glad we did. The topic is silly, but serious, and an ideal representation of the sort of weird things...

This is an important discussion for us because it deals with both the design of transition rituals for trans individuals, and the necessity of welcoming and acceptance of a "new-to-us" gender identity among a community of people.
Some colorful language appears, though it is bleeped in this version of the podcast.
