Larisa White is an author, educator, and independent scholar, based in the Coast Range Mountains of California, where she spends her free time building wildlife habitats, and restoring native ecosystems on lands once tended by the Ramaytush Ohlone.
Larisa was raised as a global nomad, relocating every two years as her father designed international airports. Rather than becoming rooted in one place, she spent her childhood bridging gaps between cultures. She learned local languages, participated in local religious celebrations, and adapted to local customs, seasonal cycles, and landscapes. In doing so, she discovered the joy of living the questions, exploring diverse perspectives, and always thinking a little bit differently. After completing her Ph.D. at Carnegie Mellon University, Larisa spent ten years conducting mixed-methods sociological research on the ways that people learn, grow, and change under the influence of changing educational, cultural, and technological contexts. Her research focus later shifted to the neurobiology of learning, and then to the ways in which people around the world interpret and interact with Nature.
Larisa has been a practicing Druid since 2016. She was the OBOD's 23rd Mount Haemus scholar, speaking on "Seasonal Festivals in a Globalizing Tradition," in May of this year. Larisa is a Druid Adept in the AODA, a Novice Monk in the GCC Monastery, and the author of "World Druidry: A Globalizing Path of Nature Spirituality."

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
