Join Our Seed Group

For those who feel their path aligns with the Circle of Coll and are interested in Membership, here are the stepping stones on the path to become a Member. These steps are designed to allow both the Applicant and the Circle of Coll members to get to know one another before a final decision is made.

 

Our Path to Membership has Five Stepping Stones…

 

  • Stepping Stone #1: Ask to join the Circle of Coll 

Contact us and let us know you are interested in Membership with CoC.

  • Stepping Stone #2: Meet with a Member Sponsor 

This is an opportunity for you to ask questions and begin getting a sense of the CoC.   If the Applicant wishes to proceed, the CoC Member Sponsor will be your contact on the path to Membership. The Member Sponsor is responsible for cultivating a relationship with the Applicant, inviting the Applicant to Rituals, and should assist the Applicant in getting to know the other CoC Members and Activities, make sure they are familiar with the “Treasures of the Tribe” guidelines for OBOD Seed Group & Groves, and that they understand our Membership Requirements. 

  • Stepping Stone #3: Complete the Basic Membership Requirements
    • Verify your Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (OBOD) membership.
    • Attend at least three (3) CoC Rituals, preferably in a row.  Applicants are also encouraged to attend other CoC events, if those occur, to better get to know the group.
  • Stepping Stone #4: Affirm your Commitment to the Circle of Coll 

Present either a one-page written essay, song, or poem to the group. When submitting this Affirmation, please consider the following questions: 

    • How would you best describe yourself while following the path of Druidry?
    • What strengths and needs will you bring to our Circle?
    • Will you commit to attending our rituals on a regular basis?
    • Do you agree to follow the guidelines set forth in the OBOD “Treasures of the Tribe” document, participating with purpose, honor, harmony, and respect?
  • Stepping Stone #5: The Member Sponsor officially Welcomes the New Member to CoC
