Rev. Melanie O’Driscoll

I have a background in zoology and environmental education and I was ordained in July 2022. My practice is firmly earth rooted and informed by the ecological crisis we are living through. My ministry is planted in the land of Cork (Ireland) and the surrounding harbor. I offer 'Self Care is Climate Care' sessions to activists facing burnout and I host an online and in-person mixed-gender book club where we explore the "Women Who Run With the Wolves".

My spiritual practice is informed by Niciren Buddhism, earth-based spirituality, and mystical Christianity. I love to create and hold spaces with sound where people can rest, receive, and be nourished so that their actions can have a greater, more positive impact on the world.

I offer sound baths, spiritual counselling, and life ceremonies, and have a particular fondness for baby namings, family blessings, and rite of passage for teens.
