Often, the one thing preventing so much from happening is not a lack of imagination, nor a lack of time or energy…, it is a lack of money. Druids tend not to be money-orientated folk, and as such often have the inspiration but not the financial means to bring it into the world.
The Druid Network has a small reserve of money available for projects that meet a short but specific number of criteria. This is money that has been made available through the energy and good intention of its Membership, and TDN rightly stewards this fund to ensure it performs the magical purpose it was gifted for.
There are two main areas in which TDN is willing to make supportive financial input; learning and sharing events, and environmental management. The criteria are similar, in that Druidry is involved – maybe you have a workshop you’d like to share or a conference you wish to put together, or perhaps there is a piece of public land in need of help (not simple beautification, which is a human construct, but appropriate planting, litter and pollution clearance, or even the creation of a public ritual space). Find out more in the two linked pages.
As inspiration and celebration of work well done, we also present here some of the work The Druid Network has facilitated over the years. Some of these have their own descriptive pages, and others await a formal report.
