We understand that The Dion Fortune Seminar 2020 which was to take place in the Council Chamber, Glastonbury Town Hall on Saturday 10th October has been cancelled.

Whilst we will all of course miss this interesting and entertaining event and will miss the chance to meet up with so many other folk who have an interest in the DF legancy we will be happy to play a part in furthering the work during these unusual times. Please join us in the Tor Meditation at 9.00pm (British Summer Time) on Sunday 11th October 2020 from wherever you may be at that time.
Full details of the Tor Meditation are available on this website http://www.dionfortune.co.uk/the-glastonbury-tor-meditation
The central theme for this special meditation will be 'The Power of Silence to Bring Serenity'.

The Dion Fortune Seminars have been held almost every year for the last 10 years or so, usually in Glastonbury. Previous speakers have included Gareth Knight, R J Stewart and Gary Lachman along with a variety of authors and magical workers who represent different aspects of the Dion Fortune tradition.
The seminars make a very enjoyable day out! Good speakers, interesting new ideas and plenty of time for chatting anf getting to meet like-minded folk in between the talks. Tea and coffee is available and there is usually a book stall.
This year the seminar is the day before the equinox so those who stay over until the Sunday might take the opportunity to celebrate it at the Tor or Chalice Well. We may well see you there!

THE DION FORTUNE SEMINAR

Town Hall, Glastonbury
Saturday September 23rd 2017 from 09.30 am onwards

The speakers in 2017 were:

Gary Lachman - "Pyschic Self Defence: How to stay safe during the war on reality"
J.R. Petrie - "Dion Fortune and the other Arthuriad"
Christian Gilson - "Dion Fortune, the esoteric Christian"
Paul Ashdown - "Dion Fortune and the pagan emergence of Glastonbury"
Mike Harris - "The Sea Priestess"

The 2017 speakers included Gary Lachman, one of the most respected contemporary writers on esoteric and occult themes. He has written more than a dozen insightful and very readable books dealing with aspects of the meeting ground between consciousness, culture and the western esoteric tradition, including ‘ A Secret History of Consciousness,’ ‘Beyond the Robot: the Life and work of Colin Wilson’ and ‘The Quest for Hermes Trismegistus.’ (He is also one of the founding members of the rock group Blondie!)

Other speakers included J.R. Petrie (who gave a very well-received talk in 2016 on the connections between magic and psychotherapy, the transcript of which we are delighted to include on this website) and Paul Ashdown, author of the fascinating: 'The Lord was at Glastonbury.'

Christian Gilson and Mike Harris spoke on two contrasting aspects of Dion Fortune's work: Pagan and Christian.
