Gillie is happy to be one of the keynote speakers at the DeCULT conference, Christchurch, New Zealand and is speaking on Sunday 20 October. 

Following the conference, on 21 and 22 October in collaboration with the Olive Leaf Network, Gillie is delivering training to therapists and practitioners who are interested to learn more about helping and supporting those affected by coercive, cultic and spiritual abuse. This will also take place in Christchurch.
