Pridie Tiernan is a storyteller and ethnobotanist weaving a rich mix of oral storytelling into the teaching of wilderness skills. Within every experience, she aims to provide an opportunity to rekindle our relationship with the natural world and empower us to feel at one with the wild.

As a storyteller, she has spent many years gathering and performing stories that create a sense of familiarity and connection with nature, especially in those that gift us the opportunity to explore the concept of our own wild selves.

Her work encourages a reconnection with wildness – remembering lost skills of healing, foraging and crafting, and rediscovering our feral inventiveness, creativity and power in partnership with plants and story.Pridie has long been fascinated by the power of our native trees and plants.

Her story walks, sensory herbalism, seasonal woodcraft and re-naturing workshops, draw our native flora onto centre stage, embracing them as a potent way of gaining insight into ourselves and our place in nature, taking control of our bodies, and tapping into the magic of the natural world.

A guided folklore, foraging and storytelling walk along the native British Hedgerow.
