About Chris Leeson

Chris Leeson is a woman with a passion. She lives in the Midlands with her teenage daughter. She loves the healing energies of Glastonbury, has been a frequent visitor there for many years and has her own caravan situated near to the Old Oaks, Gog and Magog which look out toward Glastonbury Tor. She is forever inspired by this land and deepens her relationship with it with every passing season.

Chris originally trained as a social worker and qualified in 1977, specialising in group and community work. She began Traditional Acupuncture Treatment in 1984 and soon felt the wisdom of the system pulsing through her own blood calling to her to train in this wonderful and mysterious art. She began her training in 1987 at the College of Traditional Acupuncture.

She gave birth to her daughter in 1988, which delayed the finishing of the course but gave her more opportunity to really embody the Five Element teachings as she walked the lanes and fields, accompanied with the great gift of the eyes of a child to help her see the true beauty of Nature which we can so often lose as we rush through life. She was invited to join the Faculty of the college and has been teaching regularly on first year teaching teams for the last six years.

Chris first visited Glastonbury ten years ago, when the Isle of Avalon truly emerged out of the mists to illuminate and inspire her forever. Her love relationship was born (or merely rekindled) at that moment. Through participating in women’s circles and walking the land she has gradually come to know and understand the Goddess in Glastonbury and, of course, the Goddess within herself.

The ancient wisdom of East and West both inspire and inform Chris’ life. She is in a very unique place of having insights into two different teachings with their particular paradigms which both share the seeds of transformation to the path of the authentic self: to be able to truly embrace the full potential of who we are and to walk our destiny.
