Self Description

We are a family friendly collective celebrating the Celtic holidays and the Solstices and Equinoxes. We are located in the mountains of upstate New York. Our focus is on the arts, the land and education. Rituals are led by Bryan Perrin, one of the first of ADF's fully ordained clergy in the US. His website is www.bryanperrinstudio.com . He was the founder and Senior Druid of Green Man Grove of the Metro New York area throughout the 1990's and was the Chronicler for the Druid's Progress- a former magazine of ADF. His illustrations and writings have appeared in numerous pagan publications. Grove Organizer is Susan Perrin(aka Mama), a ceramic artist, gardener and hard working mom. Together we have been hosting ritual for over 10 years. Membership requirements include at least 1 year attendance at rituals, ADF membership, and a genuine desire to be part of a community building exercise. Rituals are open to members and guests, with RSVP required. Our aims and objectives include creating a regional Pagan and Druid presence in the Catskill Mountains of the Hudson Valley of New York State. We gather to honor our Kindreds and to generate kindness, to welcome positive spirit and to learn and grow peacefully together.
