Bardic Grade

Kari Hetrick aka Auntie Bear of Heartfire Clan.  As far back as I can remember, I have had a special connection to nature and spirit.  Over the years have studied with many teachers on different paths finding truth in all of them.  As a Druid, I have gained the tools to weave it all together, to deepen my connection with all beings including myself, and allow my magical child to be joyfully authentic through laughter, song and play.

Druid Grade

Lily Jacobson comes from several generations of tree-lovers — perhaps that’s part of where her draw to Druidry took root. Since she was 19, Lily’s primary interest has been nurturing reconnection among people, between people and the land, and within ourselves. She has followed that interest through a winding path of studying religion, especially earth-based traditions; learning permaculture and ecological planning/design; living in intentional community and practicing nonviolent communication; studying and doing personal work around identity, power, privilege, systems of oppression, and ecological leadership; and practicing Druidry in the Green Mountain Druid Order. Lily is a member of the staff collective that supports a statewide grassroots climate justice organization, and she loves making music with people.

Laura Smith-Riva is a graduate of the Green Mountain Druid School (2022 – Moose Clan). She has a life long love of the natural world and is interested the deep connection between the natural landscape and the primal inner landscape of the psyche, exploring the deeper truths that support creativity and authenticity in daily living. She is a writer and artist following the creative inspirations offered by dreams, visions and earth based spiritual practices, encouraging this exploration in others. She was drawn to Druidry through a deep longing for earth centered spiritual connection that was not appropriating of other indigenous identities, and finding her own lineage that traces back to the Northern Europe and the British Isles. Laura is a Natural Dreamwork Practitioner working one-on-one with individuals internationally, through group and retreat work. In addition to apprenticing with GMDS, she teaches and mentors dreamwork practitioners and teaches about dreams and creativity through the Studio for Movement, Arts & Therapies in Bangalore India. She is a member of the board of directors for Dreamland Sanctuary and for The Natural Dream as well as New England Regional Representative for the International Association for the Study of Dreams. Laura lives in Central Vermont with her partner of 26 years and their furry companion, Roscoe, and also enjoys snowboarding, hiking, mountain biking, and hunting for old bottles and relics of the past in the woodlands and fields of Vermont.
