  • In Conversation with Arch Druidess Eimear Burke

    Eimear is the Chosen Chief of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (OBOD) and lives in Kilkenny, Ireland.

    Eimear has private practice as a Counselling Psychologist and her interests in Druidry and psychology have led her to act as a Celebrant, helping people to design and enact meaningful rites of passage. She is licensed to perform legal weddings in the Republic of Ireland and can also offer non legal ceremonies.

    Eimear has a deep love of the ancient Irish tales and has a passion for storytelling. She brings the old tales to new audiences, and - while remaining faithful to the stories - often examines them from new perspectives, so that listeners experience them as fresh and relevant. She particularly enjoys showing people the sacred sites of Ireland and telling the ancient tales right where they happened.

    Eimear is also a Priestess dedicated to Danú in the Fellowship of Isis. She is an Arch Druidess in the Druid Clan of Dana and a member of the Noble Order of Tara.

  • In Conversation With Lisa Podosin

    Lisa Podosin started her professional career with horses when she moved to Byron Bay in 2007 and became an accredited Level 1 General Coach with Equestrian Australia.

    She was fascinated with connecting with horses using less and less gear. Her passion led her to work with many top trainers such as John Chatterton, Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling, and Mark Langley.
    What began as an inquiry learning from experts who connect with horses in a compassionate way evolved into a journey of personal growth and transformation and eventually into a book. These extraordinary people paved the way to an alternative path that is as much about connecting with horses as it is about becoming the best version of yourself in the process.
    Ultimately, Lisa is interested in people radiating their authentic selves and interacting with horses as both an advocate as well as a student.
    Her main interest is supporting people to break through their current beliefs and create the life of their highest passion through their relationship with horses.

  • In Conversation With Susan Eirich
    Ever since she can remember, Susan had an instinctive understanding of the value of all living beings and how important it is to treat them with respect, for our sake as well as theirs. She founded Earthfire Institute with a mission to change how we humans see and therefore treat wildlife and nature, by helping us make an emotional, heart-opening connection with the rescued wild animals of Earthfire. Connecting deeply with individual animals serves as a portal into the wonder and magic of all living beings. And, now she is sharing this wisdom with us.
    Susan B. Eirich, Ph.D. is known as a pioneering conservationist, spiritual ecologist, and practical visionary, and is a licensed psychologist, biologist, educator, and writer. Twenty years ago she founded the Earthfire Institute, a unique wildlife sanctuary and retreat center located on forty acres just west of Grand Teton National Park. Earthfire was named after a passionate earth-mother wolf with a fire in her belly to protect anything vulnerable.
