016:EcoSpirituality for the 21st Century

October 28, 2025 • Keara and Dave • Season 1 • Episode 16

We are welcoming back the Grand Arch Druid of our Order Dana O'Driscoll who joined us on episode 3. Along with Nate who joined us on episode 8 of our podcast.

They have a book that is available for sale right now Called EcoSpirituality in the 21st Century. Revisioning Nature, Community, and Connection For a Better Tomorrow.

In the introduction it asks, how much of the creation around dystopian media and genres have reenchanted our collective and our vision for ill?

Then it asks what are the stories we are telling ourselves, and what is the vision we are collectively creating in the here and now?

The book is described as a grimoire to dispel a dark future, and a magical act designed to help us create and reveal a new future freeing us from the dystopian world we have all woken up to.

What this book offers is a vision that takes us out of overshoot and back into a place of balance by connecting with nature, ourselves, spirit, and our communities. A “New Paradigm for the future that isn’t unique to a single community or place, but it is emerging in very diverse communities.

The theme of this vision are not any single person’s vision, but a confluence of so many different people and communities learning how to reconnect and how to heal the earth, and to offer an alternative to the current vision of the future.”

Eco Spirituality synthesizes information, from a range of traditions and laying out some of the most powerful tools from the worlds of magic. The authors offer a “vision of a time when humans have repaired and explored a more balanced interaction with the living earth, a vision that offers sacred spirituality rooted in the wisdom of our ancestors, and a vision that creates a world of balance for future generations.”
