FF&C Episode 3 – Happy (Belated!) Earth Day
Welcome to our last Sneak Peek Pro episode of Faith, Fern & Compass, where every day is Earth Day. In Episode 003 – Happy (Belated) Earth Day!, we celebrate the Earth as our mother and our home, taking a look back at the origins of the holiday and how it’s evolved over the past 42 years from a national teach-in to a global call to community action. We review DisneyNature’s recent documentary, Chimpanzee, and explore some of the ways that individual ecological awareness finds mutual support in community action and system change. In the Pro extension, we share a few of the ways that we celebrate Earth Day as a spiritual holiday of sacred connection with our beautiful, fragile planet.

Episode 10 – Celestial Seesaw
Welcome to Episode 10 of Dining with Druids! We’re your hosts, Alison and Jeff Lilly.
In tonight’s episode, “Celestial Seesaw“, Ali and Jeff take a deep breath and plunge back into podcasting after a crazy-busy seven month hiatus, reflecting on the sacred pause of the equinox and sharing a few stories about their wedding (woot!), their cross-country move (woosh!) and their volunteer work as naturalists-in-training with the Seattle (woohoo!). Ali ponders the future of Paganism in a post-church world while using inappropriately awkward sports metaphors, and Jeff makes a few exquisitely bad jokes that you won’t want to miss. We also announce our new podcast project and how you can get involved and help support your favorite rude Drudes!
Mentioned in tonight’s episode:
- How awesome it is to be Seattle Volunteer Naturalists
- “Pagan Temples and the 20%” and “Before the Temples,” by John Beckett, Under the Ancient Oaks
- The Rule of 150, also known as Dunbar’s Number
- Complimentary definitions of the mainstream
- Catholics (again)
Thanks for listening, and stay tuned for exciting changes to come!
DwD on Hiatus!
Turns out, getting married does not magically make our to-do list shorter!
We finally tied the knot in September and enjoyed a beautiful honeymoon among the canyons and cacti of Utah and New Mexico in early October, only to return home to a slew of family birthdays and the news that we’ll be moving across the country in February due to changes in Jeff’s job situation.
Plus, the holiday season is upon us — Samhain, Thanksgiving, the winter solstice, oh my!
So we’ve decided to officially put DwD on hiatus for the time being. We began this little podcast as an experiment in having fun, and it’s been a pleasure to share our snark and laughter with you. We’re so glad you enjoy listening to DwD as much as we enjoy making it!
We plan to be back sometime after Imbolc. We hope you’ll stick around! Until then, have a glorious autumn and a gorgeous winter — and keep that rude dinner conversation alive.
