The Ancient Ways

Seren Hawley-Plows is a second generation new-age traveller who was raised as a hedgewitch, with a deep connection and love for the natural world. She was taught herbalism and ancient practices from an early age by her parents and their community, and spent much of her youth travelling around festivals, full moon gatherings, and attending ceremonies at sacred sites.

Her interest in nature and humankinds' ancestral connection to the natural world developed as she grew older, and she began to retell tales, myths, forgotten knowledge and ancient practices as short informative videos on Instagram (@hedgerow_healing). She is now on a mission to reconnect people with the natural world, by demonstrating how using ancient practices and discovering forgotten knowledge can be beneficial on a journey to re-establishing our relationship to the land. Seren lives in Wales and is the author of The Ancient Ways.
