International Relations

Building inclusive Heathenry through deep connections with organizations that share out values worldwide.

In coordinating an international Heathen community network, The Troth does not stand alone.

International Relations and Exchange was founded as a program to facilitate and support international collaboration and education by creating Frith Forge, an international conference for inclusive Heathens. We didn’t just find groups that shared our values, but groups that had already started this work overseas, with long histories of their own, struggles of their own, and problems that we could solve better together than apart. We continue to nurture these lasting alliances, and true friendships. We value the chance to participate in such high quality educational and frithful exchange. This connection helps us all weather the storms together that effect us all.

The Troth’s International Relations and Exchange Program (IREP) was formed to:

  • Facilitate and participate in international discussion, collaboration, and frith-building among inclusive Heathen groups around the world
  • Support Troth members in and outside the US
  • Engage in interfaith dialogue and promote inter-religious harmony
  • Promote and support inclusive Heathenry internationally

International Relations is part of a worldwide effort that fulfills the promise of our mission: education and service for inclusive Heathenry.

We can’t go it alone. We are an international organization that supports and builds collaborative, educational, and peace-building relationships with inclusive Heathens and Pagans around the world. Our International Relations Program is part of our commitment to cooperation and coordination rather than competition with other inclusive Heathen organizations worldwide.

We have built alliances with other inclusive organizations around the world, such as those that participate in the International Asatru Summer Camp in Europe. We are excited to collaborate with the Yggdrasil Association of Costa Rica as we work to co-host our next international inclusive event, Frith Forge, in April of 2024 in Costa Rica.
