Candidate Call: January 25th – 8:30pm – 10:00pm EST
With Dana O’Driscoll, Grand Archdruid and Alisha Jondreau, Member Outreach Coordinator
In our quarterly candidate call, we will focus on the Earth Path through exploring two core questions: How do we build deeper relationships with nature? How do we build in reciprocation as a core practice? In addition to exploring AODA’s core concepts of nature reciprocation and nature connection, the call will begin with a demonstration of the AODA’s sphere of protection ritual. All AODA members are welcome to join this call.
Apprentice Call: February 22nd – 8:30-10:00 pm EST
Our Apprentice Call will cover topics determined by the Apprentices in advance. Please visit the AODA Forums to weigh in on topics for our next call.

AODA’s Discord Announcement: Bardic Circle Event – January 29th at 5pm EST
The AODA’s Discord server is holding a Bardic Circle event, open to AODA members, and friends! We want to see, and hear the wonderful Bardic creations everyone engages in. On January 29th , join us on the Discord server to share your work. We want to hear your stories, poems, and songs. Do you craft, or create visual art? We want to see them too!
Entries will be judged by three AODA Members that will not be participating. Prizes will be in the form of “Vanity Role” icons, and bragging rights (all in good fun of course!). Although we have judges, this is not truly a competition. It’s about sharing a body of work that resonates with us, so that others can experience this piece of ourselves. We want everyone to enjoy this event, and know that it’s not about winning; it’s about sharing, and connecting to our wonderful, growing community no matter how near or far we are to each other.
This event is open to all Bardic arts. Songs (both sung, and instrumental), written works, storytelling, visual arts, “crafted” arts (smithing, woodcarving, etc). See below for more details about the Bardic Circle.
