DOREEN VALIENTE FOUNDATION – TALKS, CONFERENCES & EXHIBITIONS
The Doreen Valiente Foundation is dedicated to sharing Doreen’s legacy with its true spiritual benefactors – the wider Pagan community, but also to educate and raise awareness among the global public as a whole and we are actively seeking venues, events and locations to talk about Doreen, her legacy and display a selection of artefacts from the collection (please get in touch if you know of a location/group/event that would like to book a talk / exhibition).
