Cherry Blossom Grove
"Through quiet moments in nature, we discover not just the world around us, but the world within."
~Dana O’Driscoll, Grand Archdruid and Ollave Adept
Cherry Blossom Grove is a Nemeton affiliated with the Ancient Order of Druids in America (AODA), serving the greater Washington, D.C. area. As a sacred space for spiritual exploration and practice, the Grove welcomes both members of the AODA and the wider community who are interested in Druidry and nature-based spirituality. The Grove provides an inclusive and supportive environment, fostering a connection with the living earth and the wisdom of ancient traditions.
Our activities include periodic gatherings for seasonal rituals, which celebrate the cycles of nature and deepen our connection to the spiritual energies of the land. Cherry Blossom Grove also conducts initiations for Candidates and Apprentices on the AODA path, offering a meaningful and transformative experience for those seeking to advance in their Druidic journey. These events serve as opportunities for shared learning, spiritual growth, and the cultivation of community.
At Chery Blossom Grove, we embrace the AODA’s ethos of openness and accessibility. Membership in the AODA is not a prerequisite to participate in our gatherings, but is required when doing AODA initiations, allowing individuals from diverse backgrounds to experience the teachings and practices of modern Druidry. Whether you are curious about the Druid path, seeking fellowship, or looking to deepen your spiritual connection with nature, Monument Grove provides a welcoming space to explore and grow.
