Angharad continues to work as a place making consultant, specialising in harnessing aspects of history and culture to imbue and enliven places and working with communities to re-engage them in their local landscape, cultural assets, history and stories.
 

Increasingly these days, Angharad is returning to her love of stories, nature and landscape; to running retreats and pilgrimages exploring the mythic landscape, the magic of nature and living soulfully.
