Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids
(attending Gorsedd: Lughnasadh 2009)
Philip Carr-Gomm has rearranged his schedule to attend the House of Danu Gorsedd. This is a rare opportunity for OBOD members to meet and learn from the Chief of our Order. On the day of arrival he will be crowning our dinner feast and orientation with a grounding visualization to get everyone in the proper frame of mind for a spectacular Gorsedd.
It has been many years since he has been to California, and he will be staying on a few days after the Gorsedd. Though the festival is minutes away from the Monterey Aquarium and Santa Cruz Boardwalk (been there, done that), he plans to spend a few days exploring the wonders of Yosemite.
Philip Carr-Gomm lives in Sussex, England, with his wife Stephanie and their children. From an early age Philip studied with Ross Nichols, the founder of The Order of Bards Ovates and Druids. He has a degree in psychology from University College London, and trained in psychotherapy for adults at The Institute of Psychosynthesis, and in play therapy for children with Dr Rachel Pinney. He also trained in Montessori education with the London Montessori Centre, and founded the Lewes Montessori School. In 1988 he was asked to lead The Order of Bards Ovates and Druids, and he combines his role in the Order with writing, and giving talks and workshops.
