For millennia, Glastonbury has been known as a great place of learning. In the Middle Ages, Glastonbury Abbey was acknowledged as a powerful centre of academic and spiritual activity with a great library, a school and links with the universities and political power in London. With the dissolution of the monasteries and the closing of the Abbey all this activity ceased. In the early part of the 20th Century, interest in Glastonbury as a special spiritual place revived and well-known personalities such as Dion Fortune and Rutland Boughton established themselves in the town. The war disrupted these activities but the 1980s saw a renewed interest in Glastonbury as a spiritual place and a centre of learning.
Since the summer of 2011, Glastonbury Reception Centre has been offering a wide and varied programme of talks and presentations on a Glastonbury theme. All of them have been illuminating and insightful, offering those in attendance the opportunity to explore aspects of the spiritual journey that are relevant to their own path.
Glaston Centre School of Learning has grown out of these talks. The School is not something in which one is required to enrol and instead aims to offer the opportunity for an individual to independently explore area of interest on their own personal journey of discovery.
All our speakers are very experienced in their fields; presenting knowledge and wisdom that is not always easily accessible or available.

Meet Chrissy Heaven, who has recently taken on the position of being the School's administrator.
She is a Reiki & Sekhem Master/Teacher, a Hypnosis Therapist, a Flower Essences Practitioner and a Holistic Cat Healer. She has been interested in spiritual and mystical discovery since a child. Her years of healing work inspired her to go on to gain a professional qualification in counselling.
As well as her extensive natural healing training and qualifications, Chrissy has British university degrees in Psychology, in Social Science and in Social Research as well as qualifications in adult education and management. She worked in the field of social care for over 20 years - with disabled people, prisoners and in mental health. This background, together with her psychology training, afforded her a good understanding of mind/body/spirit healing issues.
Chrissy is now retired and lives near Glastonbury. Besides being Admin for our School, she spends her days soaking up knowledge about mystical things, drinking cappuccino with her spiritual friends and making a fuss of her two black rescue cats
