About Druid Eimear Burke 

Eimear Burke is the Chosen Chief of OBOD (The Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids), a role she holds in leading this global druidry organization. Coming from a strict Roman Catholic background in rural Ireland, she discovered druidry 20+ years ago and has been following the Wheel of the Year through seasonal ceremonies ever since. As a psychologist and celebrant, Eimear bridges the practical and mystical aspects of druidry, helping others connect with nature-based spirituality. She hosts weekly "Fireside Chat with Eimear" live streams where she speaks with druidry practitioners, and her work focuses on helping people find their connection to the natural world and their inner landscape.
