Lucy O'Hagan is an ancestral skills teacher, ethnobotanist, forager, and forest school educator from Ireland. She is the founder of Wild Awake, where she takes people - young and old - on immersive and transformational journeys of self-discovery through (re-)connection with wild spaces. She continues to deepen her own knowledge of ancestral skills throughout Europe: “So much of my learning has come directly from the plants, animals, the land, and my hands. But they don’t always issue certificates”. Her passion for sharing these direct teachings comes from her early childhood spent seeing nature as both school and sanctuary.
