013: Larisa White Author of World Druidry: A Globalizing Path of Nature Spirituality.

Larisa White is an author, educator, and independent scholar, based in the Coast Range Mountains of California, where she spends her free time building wildlife habitats, and restoring native ecosystems on lands once tended by the Ramaytush Ohlone.Larisa was raised as a global nomad, relocating every two years as her father designed international airports. Rather than becoming rooted in one place, she spent her childhood bridging gaps between cultures. She learned local languages, participated in local religious celebrations, and adapted to local customs, seasonal cycles, and landscapes. In doing so, she discovered the joy of living the questions, exploring diverse perspectives, and always thinking a little bit differently. After completing her Ph.D. at Carnegie Mellon University, Larisa spent ten years conducting mixed-methods sociological research on the ways that people learn, grow, and change under the influence of changing educational, cultural, and technological contexts. Her research focus later shifted to the neurobiology of learning, and then to the ways in which people around the world interpret and interact with Nature.Larisa has been a practicing Druid since 2016. She was the OBOD's 23rd Mount Haemus scholar, speaking on "Seasonal Festivals in a Globalizing Tradition," in May of this year. Larisa is a Druid Adept in the AODA, a Novice Monk in the GCC Monastery, and the author of "World Druidry: A Globalizing Path of Nature Spirituality."Links for world druidry project:https://larisa-a-white.com/worlddruidry.htmlLarisa's Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgOUm6zsUfy6HVHUSGYw7ow/playlistsAODA Website:https://aoda.org/AODA Curriculum Overview:http://aoda.org/aoda-membership/curriculum-requirements/Gnostic Celtic Church:https://aoda.org/aoda-structure/gnostic-celtic-church-gcc/A Vision for AODA Druidry: Seven Core Principles of AODA:https://aoda.org/vision/AODA Discord Server:https://discord.gg/y5CCaw7ctTAODA Forums:https://forum.aoda.org/AODA Facebook Group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/AODADruidryAODA You Tube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs-5YgIfi1jiC_EOtViS9WgGrand Arch Druid Dana O’Driscoll Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/druidsgardenart/?hl=enPodcast Contact Email:[email protected] Instagram:https://instagram.com/druidwisdompodcast?utm_medium=copy_linkClaire’s blog living Low in the Lou:http://livinglowinthelou.blogspot.com/Jack Campbell:www.confabulatorcafe.com/author/jcampbellhttp://www.jackcampbelljr.com/https://jack-campbell-jr.square.site/
