Tanwen is a former student of this seminary and received Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry qualifications for her work whilst there.  Though professionally and personally known as Nikki, in circle she is known as Tanwen, a Welsh name meaning ‘sacred fire’ and that reflects her heritage.

Tanwen has been devoted to Goddess since the early 90s, a path that eventually led her into paganism.  In addition to her work within the seminary, she creates graphic designs for her partner’s Redbubble store Prints4Pagans and writes for the pagan community.  She hopes to get her first book (The Solitary Ritualist’s Sourcebook) published in 2023 and is already writing her second one (The Witch’s Weekly Workbook).

In her mundane life, Nikki lives in Stratford-upon-Avon (UK) with her partner and two cats called Luna and Sage.  She works as an IT Director for an animal charity, is a voluntary trustee for a student union, and plays and organises competitive amateur golf.
