David Lilley
MBChB FFHom
Homeopathic Physician, Pretoria, South Africa.
David John Lilley F.F.Hom was born in Leeds in 1940,
the son of a homeopath. His family emmigrated to
South Africa in 1949. He studied medicine at the
University of Pretoria and after qualifying spent
3 years at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital
and the London College of Osteopathy. He studied
under Drs Blackie, Twentyman, Raeside, Kennedy
and Fourbister.

After obtaining his MFHom David returned to South Africa and joined his father in a practice in 1966. He has been in an exclusively homeopathic and osteopathic practice for the past 41 years. In 1994 he started the first homeopathic course for medical doctors in South Africa. This course has now evolved into the SA Faculty of Homeopathy, of which he is the Director of Education

.In recent years he has been in demand as a visiting
lecturer in the UK and further a field. He was awarded an honorary Fellowship of the Faculty of Homeopathy [UK] in 1998. In May 2007 he was awarded life membership of
the Homeopathic Association of South Africa for all the work he has done for homeopathy both in South Africa
and overseas.

David is an original researcher in Homeopathic Philosophy and is currently writing a series of books. In his lectures
he weaves together homeopathic art and science, analytical psychology, mythology, chakra and colour
theory, natural science and spiritual philosophy to provide a rich tapestry of perennial wisdom and knowledge.

He has been described as an "inspiring teacher with an incredible in-depth knowledge of the remedies who also shares many practical tips on the management of acute illnesses".

He will be retiring from private practice at the end of 2007 and will be moving to Cape Town where he will concentrate on writing and teaching.

Peter Fraser
Peter Fraser was born in South Africa and grew up there, in Britain and in Canada. His first career was as a bookseller and publisher and one of the many things that he loves about homœopathy is the respect it pays to
books both old and new.

He studied homœopathy with Misha Norland, Janet Snowdon and David Mundy and has been part of the Travelling Homœopaths Collective for more than ten years. He has taught and lectured in New Zealand, North America, the Balkans and in Nepal as well as in the UK.

One of his particular interests is in the proving of new remedies and he has been involved in the proving or collation of more than twenty remedies including AIDS, Falcon, Sparrow, Peacock, LSD, Heroin, Condom and Antimatter and most recently the Plague Locust.

His interest in the new remedies led to the writing of The AIDS Miasms: Contemporary Disease and the New Remedies (Winter Press) and to the Supplement to Clarke's Dictionary, an on going project to put New
Remedies into the Dictionary format and which is available on the internet as are all the provings in which he has been involved.

He is writing a series of introductory books on using different systems in homœopathic understanding. The Realms and The Mappa Mundi are available now from Winter Press and others including The Miasms, Philosophy, Correspondences and Provings will be available soon.

The remedies that come from substances which inhabit the Realms of Earth, Sea, Underworld or Sky have particular qualities. The remedies which move between the Realms, particularly between the Earth and Sky, have qualities in common and need to be differentiated in a special way.
Knowing the way in which such transformation is expressed not only helps to understand the transformative remedies but it helps us to define what constitutes the active, dynamic and contradictory centre of the case
which is the quickest way to finding the remedies in all types of case. Peter is exploring this idea of transformation and has looked at the Insects, the Spiders, the Snakes and the Birds through its lens. He is also looking at the
Trees, the Drugs and the Milks.

Paul Francis
Paul Francis is a highly-experienced homeopath and teacher, who has been in practice and teaching since the mid-1980's. He originally trained in Polarity Therapy, which is an integrated approach employing hands-on bodywork, herbal and dietary treatment, exercise and counselling skills. This gave him a detailed understanding of the
human energy system, which brings a unique and fresh perspective to homeopathy. His other 'hat' is that he is a counsellor and psychotherapist. As such he has a deep understanding of the importance of the relationship betwen the homeopath and the client, as well as insight into clients psychology.

For many years he has taught homeopathy in Lancaster, The Lake District, and London. In 2001 he founded the Integrative College. His interest is in teaching homeopaths his understanding of the human energy system (including the chakras and five elements), as well as helping homeopaths understand their clients psychological processes, and improve their own interpersonal skills.

Recently he has developed a new set of homeopathic remedies, the Harmonic Remedies, based on his understanding of energy. He also offers training in Therapeutic Shamanism, has designed a set of
energetically-balanced herbal formulae, and is soon to release a new range of flower, gem and animal essences.

Paul lives in Lancaster in North-West England with his partner Catriona and his two cats Sol and Luna. He has a grown-up son.
