Kahreela shares a soul-enriching conversation with Natalie exploring the meaning of the “old ways” — ancestral wisdom, forgotten traditions, and the deeper rhythms that once connected people to the land, to each other, and to themselves. Together, they discuss how these ancient ways continue to echo through modern culture, quietly shaping the way we think, live, and relate to the world around us.

The conversation reflects on the growing disconnection within contemporary life and the importance of reclaiming grounded, shared practices that restore a sense of meaning, presence, and common humanity. Through spirituality, memory, and collective reconnection, they explore how returning to these deeper roots may help dissolve the dissonance many people feel in the modern world.

Natalie Vickers continues in her direct Celtic lineage of women who work this way. In 1991 she entered her own path through homeopathy, training at the London College of Classical Homeopathy. Here she began to practice the art and science of the marriage between spirit and physical matter and its relationship to the human body. In 2001 Natalie had her first conscious shamanic experience. This led to her initiation in the shamanic way and the medicine wheel wisdom with Foster Perry along with other mystical teachings and experiences with Kristos Tsompanelis, both of Golden Hummingbird. She deepened her tutelage by travelling and working with Simon Buxton of the Sacred Trust, Betsy Bergstrom and Seidr with Annette Hørst. In 2011 she trained with the School of Lost Borders as a Vision Quest guide and continues to sit in circle in various locations around the world. An important part of her work is initiating people into the shamanic way of being through the shape and rhythms of the medicine wheel and within nature. She does this whilst honouring the land upon which the work takes place and with an affinity for ceremony.

Natalie was critically ill as a child. Through her close relationship to death she lives brightly. She is deeply compassionate to the individual way that the spirit of each of us is wiggling its way through to its true nature and calling, seeing clearly the unique contortions. To midwife this unfurling and revelation through the humanness of each individual is her passion. She does this in part by becoming the empty bowl for the individual’s story. Natalie dances, walks, laughs and hugs a lot, stepping adventurously into the mystic life. She especially loves to be among the stones of the far west of Cornwall and spending time with her three children.
