New 7-Week Live Video Course Starts
Thursday, October 31, 2024

Step into the magical world of the Druids through immersive storytelling, journeying, and ancient teachings, becoming a living participant in this timeless tradition.
As you walk this sacred path, you’ll draw strength from nature — connecting with plants, animals, and the energy of the land to rejuvenate your spirit and invite peace and vitality into your life.

How would your life and spiritual journey change if you felt completely grounded in your true self and with the natural world around you?

The clarity of purpose, reduced stress, and inner peace you’ve been searching for can be part of your daily life when you strengthen your connection to nature and your ancestry, says Philip Carr-Gomm, acclaimed expert in the fields of psychology and Druidry.

Many spiritual seekers are drawn to the path of the Druid to nurture their souls and feel more at home in the world.

You, too, can embrace this deep wisdom — unlocking a greater sense of belonging and empowerment — so you can confidently make meaningful decisions and navigate challenges with ease.

Druidry is an ancient tradition that originated in the British Isles, featuring wisdom deeply connected to nature’s rhythms.

Through practices like shamanic journeying to other realms and communicating with the spirit world, Druidry helps you reconnect with the ageless wisdom of the Earth and your ancestry.

The richness of Druid and Celtic plant and animal myths — veiled in the lore of the land and the cycle of the seasons — speak to our deepest selves, helping us navigate the turbulence of modern life.

Join Philip for an enlightening new 7-week course as he blends Druidry, spiritual practices, and teachings of psychology to bring its wisdom into your daily life.

Philip began studying Druidry at the age of 16, and has since become a renowned psychosynthesis psychotherapist, author, co-creator of Druid tarot decks, and founder of the Sophrology Institute.

Understand more about who you are and how you’re connected to nature within the ancient Druid framework. Each week, open to the call to grow and change, be creative, and give to the world around you.
