About the speakers
Cassandra: “I was Cornish made and the offspring of a Shropshire lad and Yorkshire lass. Rather unfortunately for me I was adopted shortly after and moved to the South East of England where I stayed for my formative years. Following my adoptive parents’ demise and gaining access to my adoption papers, I moved back to my homeland where I have been ever since. I followed a nursing career, trained as a counsellor and gained an honours degree in theatre. I moved to St Buryan in the early eighties where I became the village wisewoman.”
Laetitia: “I visited Cornwall frequently during family vacations throughout my childhood and adolescence, falling in love with its ancient beauty. After leaving home, I continued to visit whenever the opportunity arose until my eventual move here in 2008. I became Cassandra’s apprentice in her way of the Cunning/Folk Craft and we have worked together as wisewomen since 2009. I have been a resident of St Buryan village since 2010. I also have a Diploma in Crisis and Trauma Counselling.”
This online talk is part of a series of events to complement our current exhibition ‘She Cares: Women and Health in Cornwall’.
