Philip Carr Gomm on SHOBODA

from Forest Spirituality with Julie Brett · host Julie Brett

In this episode I talk to Philip Carr Gomm who is the current Chosen Chief of the Order of Bards Ovates and Druids (OBOD). We speak about the Southern Hemisphere OBOD Assembly held near Wellington in New Zealand. Our discussion of the diversity of Druidry leads the discussion to adaptation practices, the experience of feeling 'at home' anywhere in the world, or opening up to presence and the sense of wonder at the new. We also talk about the psychology behind that, as well as many aspects of pilgrimage and travel. We also talk about what it's been like for him to pass over the role of Chosen Chief to Eimear, and what this means for him personally.  He's an incredibly interesting, genuine and nice person and it was wonderful to have a chat with him about these experiences. I hope you enjoy it too! You can find out more about OBOD at www.druidry.org You can read Philip's blog and find out more about him at www.philipcarr-gomm.com You can find my blog and information about my book at www.juliebrett.net   Thanks for listening!
