Bio for Andras Corban‑Arthen

Andras Corban-Arthen is an elder and spiritual director of the EarthSpirit Community (founded 1977), and has taught and lectured about pagan spirituality since the 1970s, both throughout the U.S. and abroad. From 2012-2023, he served as president of the European Congress of Ethnic Religions headquartered in Vilnius, Lithuania. He also served for twelve years on the Board of Trustees of the Parliament of the World’s Religions (three times as Vice-Chair) and sits on the advisory board of the Ecospirituality Foundation, a U.N. NGO based in Torino, Italy. Andras represented the pagan traditions at the United Nations Interfaith Conference on Religion and Prejudice in 1991, and has been a featured presenter at many national and international events, among them the Parliaments of the World's Religions held in Chicago, Barcelona, Melbourne, Salt Lake City, and Toronto; the Encuentro Mundial Interreligioso in Guadalajara, México; the Wisdom Keepers conference in Wales; the Religions for the Earth conference in NYC; and the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. Originally from Galiza, Spain, he lives with his extended family in Glenwood, a 160-acre pagan sanctuary and nature preserve in the Berkshire Highlands of western Massachusetts. He is proud to have been singled out as a “bad role model for the youth of America” in 1996 by ultra-right-wing Christian zealot Pat Robertson on the 700 Club.
