Ár nDraíocht Féin: A Druid Fellowship (ADF)with Rev. Jean Drum

In this episode I speak with Reverend Jean Drum, the Arch Druid from Ár nDraíocht Féin: A Druid Fellowship (ADF). We have a candid chat about our personal experiences in Druidry, the international Druidry experience, the history and structure of ADF and Jean's humble way of approaching leadership and the role of clergy. ADF has a church-like structure so differs from other forms of Druidry. In this episode we discuss those differences, and explore the wonderful opportunities for leaning and building community that ADF offers to the global Druidry community.
