Writing and Facilitating Meaningful Group Rituals –June 11th, 2026 – 8:30 – 10:00 pm ET
With Dana O’Driscoll, Grand Archdruid and Tyler Vanice, Ovate Adept and AODA Groups Coordinator
Writing meaningful group rituals is an important part of growing a local and healthy local druid community. In this workshop, we will break down the core concepts in writing and facilitating group rituals of any size, by focusing in three areas. purpose and goals; the building blocks of a successful group ritual; and personal and group dynamics. A large portion of this workshop will be focused on the building blocks of good ritual writing, offering templates, and how to take an idea and make it work with a group. We will discuss the AODA’s Seven Element framework and Sphere of Protection as a meaningful building block for ritual, among other approaches. For those who have a local group, want to start a local group, or want to offer a gathering, this will be an excellent foundation to deepen your ritual writing practice.
