Bringing the Training to You

Since 1999 Frances Billinghurst has been running workshops and courses on all things magickal, mythological, and metaphysical, three main interests in her life. From an early age she has been fascinated with global mythology which led to her studying Celtic mythology for three years and undertaking a “Celtic Sacred Sites” tour in 1994. She holds a Certificate IV Training & Assessment, has tutored adults through the WEA Adult Learning as well as English as a Second Language home tutoring programme, and since 2003 has presented lectures at national as well as international conferences.
