The material here is offered free of charge, without any requirement to sign up. The only commitment you make is to yourself, and the value you might find here depends entirely on you.

TDN is so grateful to the authors of these blessings of Druid teaching.
Between 2010 and 2013 there was a significant project by Ted Bishop and Kirsten McFarland, called “A Solitary Druid Fellowship”. While that project ceased to exist after 2013 we took it under our wing and keep out available here, using the same Creative Commons Licence it was released under.

Of course, there is a world of opportunity for distance and online teaching courses from the Orders out there, and you may find your path is with them. Many TDN Members are likewise in membership and in training with the various Druid Orders, and here are a few we are happy to link to. You may find even more on our weblinks page.
