22nd Mount Haemus Lecture: The Feminist Druid: Making Way for New Stories/New Work
In the re-telling of three feminist folk tales (or kitchen table myths) that foreground the problem-solving abilities of intrepid female protagonists, LaFrance highlights how 1) a Druidic reverence for the natural world echoes the lessons of consent-culture, 2) Druidic work models an ethics of care central to recognizing the fluidity, flexibility, and complexity of human bodies and their relations, and 3) how the community-building/deep listening at the center of today’s Druidry offers crucial models of leadership and organization in a time where many traditional models for governance have come under pressure.
