Her love of herbs and plants led her to discover nature based spirituality and Druidry. During Covid she started to journal and write. This led her to write her prose and poetry which formed the basis for her book Poetry, Prose and Musings of a Crone. Following the thread of Druidry, Donna became a dedicated Priestess of Cerridwen in the Avalone tradition and a student of Land Healing. She is a crone, a wise women, a swynwraig, and a witch.
