How Hearth, Work and Service invite us into Altar, Worship and Sacrament - Chris Park

This week's show is with Chris Park. Chris Park is a founding member of the Beekeeping History Trust, a skep beekeeper, skep-maker, apitherapy student and a practicing Druid. Chris lives on an organic farm in the Vale of the White Horse, Oxfordshire, U.K. His work is wide and varied, from arts and crafts, ancient technologies, experimental archaeology and educational projects to eco-building, storytelling, folk music, mental health, apitherapy, and raising the awareness of the heritage of beekeeping. He is a practicing Druid of the Order of Bards, Ovates & Druids, being immersed and versed in the folklore and spiritual traditions rooted within the honeyed isles of Britain & Europe. In this conversation, Chris and I explored the old Irish triad of hearth as altar, work as worship, and service as sacrament, what each of them means to us both, and the invitation this triad provides to anyone, but perhaps especially those of us who are consciously working in some way in service to spirit. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.
