Michael Gorman, writer, artist, poet, mystic, teacher, historian, and ordained Druid, has been researching his pre-Christian Celtic ancestors for decades, examining previously hidden material being translated since the Irish Revolution from the archives of Irish libraries as well as the work of scholars who are finally studying the Celts sans the historic Greco-Roman bias that has driven traditional western scholarship for centuries. He is a part of the New Celtic Scholarship that is challenging old misconceptions about the nature based culture of the Celts that once covered most of Europe, and through them the tribal cultures of the western world.

Hidden in Plain View: A New Paradigm For a New Age
Michael Gorman
August 11 - 15, 2010

Program fee $100

Michael's program will present fascinating evidence that the underlying philosophy, spirituality, and social order of the indigenous, tribal peoples will drive the next great enlightenment in human history, a process he will show is already beginning. He will present evidence of a new incarnation of this ancient paradigm as the spiritual and philosophical force that will finally successfully challenge our current linear, patriarchal, hierarchical, anthropocentric, militaristic, unsustainably consumerist paradigm without abandoning positive and earth friendly technology, progress, and science in the process. He will show how weaving ourselves back into the fabric of the natural world is the only rational way forward as the old calendar runs out. Join him beneath the ancient trees he loves, and hear his voice of hope and renewal. and his rational, historically sound vision of the New Age.
