Spiritual Development: Introduction to the Druid Way

Cindy Leigh McGinley will be a guest speaker at the Roseheart Center for Virginia Waldron’s Spiritual Development class.

Are you interested in the ancient spiritual practice of the indigenous Irish? Are you curious about Druids, ancient and modern? Does the idea of an ancient Celtic “priesthood” intrigue you? Would you like to know how Druidism differs from other earth-based spiritual paths?  This will be a two-hour survey of the Druid Way. Find out from a modern Druid and Celtic historian about ancient Druids — is our understanding accurate? Find out what we know of ancient Druid practices, and find out who and what modern Druids are and what they believe and practice. Learn about “Druidism for the 21^st Century.”

Cindy is an Initiate of the Henge of Keltria, an international Druid Order based in the United States. She has attained Ring of the Oak, the highest level within the Keltrian Ring System of Achievement, and is the founder and Chief Druid of Garrán an Eich Órbhuí (Grove of the Golden Horse). She is also honored to be one of very few ministers ordained by the Henge. She has been a member of the Keltrian Order for over 20 years, and has served three terms as Secretary of the Henge, as well as the three-term limit as the organization’s President. She was appointed one of three Trustees in 2009 by her presidential successor and elected to that position by the membership in 2010 and again in 2013. She has presented several classes specific to the Irish Celtic way to her peers at the Annual Gathering of the Keltrian Tribe, and serves as a mentor to dedicants and initiates of the path.
