Welcome Virtual Traveller
Merry Met fellow lover of myth, story and legend. My name is Dawn and I am an author, consultant, re-enactor, performance storyteller and all round word-witch specialising in landscape, nature and heritage interpretation.
My focus is Celtic, British and Scandinavian mythology, although many other traditions also inform my practice. Through storytelling I hope to encourage a reconnection to our natural selves, through the lessons present within stories, folklore and nature and the landscapes they inhabit. My belief is that in order to connect with our inner selves and the biophilic rhythms that lie deep within us, we must first reconnect with the land, nature, heritage and the stories it holds. In this way we begin the journey to rewild ourselves through story.
My experience includes the production of interactive performance stories, traditional interpretation boards, live folklore and storytelling shows, videos, podcasts, articles for publication, accessible audio tours using soundscapes and walking tours that explore the history and heritage of the South Downs. I am a regular storyteller with The Weald & Downland Living Museum and work with organisations such as Butser Ancient Farm, Hampshire Cultural Trust, The Land Trust, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust and English Heritage. I also work with schools, youth groups and community organisations. For examples of my clients click here.
My books in include Adventures in Nature (The History Press 2021), Stories of The Sun (The History Press 2023), Tree Lore (Quarto, due March 2026) and The Little History of Storytelling (The History Press, due March 2026).
