Randy Benham has been interested in Druidry since 2007 and started attending Circle of Coll Seed Group rituals then.

His interest in the earth and all of nature led him to explore Shamanism in 2005 and also led to his interest in Druidry. On warm days he finds himself drawn to the waters edge or as cool a shady glen as he can find near him.
