Reformed Druids of North America

Symbol of the RDNA

The Reformed Druids of North America (RDNA) is an American Neo-Druidic organization. It was formed in 1963 at Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota, as a humorous protest against the college's required attendance of religious services.[1][2] This original congregation is called the Carleton Grove, sometimes the Mother Grove. There are over 40 groves and proto-groves of the RDNA throughout the United States and Canada.

Their action inspired the formation of Druid groups around the country.
