What's The Point?!

➕ We have a very special bonus episode for you this season! None other than Hil Skellon, the daughter of JR Worsley and Ben's lovely Auntie, is joining Ben & Gabriella for an exclusive interview. Hil studied under her father JR Worsley at the College of Traditional Acupuncture in Leamington Spa in the UK and has been in private practice since 1982. She’s been teaching Classical Five Element Acupuncture since 1983. From 1990 - 1994 she then became Vice-Principal of the College of Traditional Acupuncture. She was also on the faculty of WICA in Florida, and SOFEA and LIFEA in London. In 1998, Hilary moved to the United States to become director of ITEA (The Institute of Taoist Education & Acupuncture) and in 2019 became President of the Institute until January 2023 when she stepped down from the presidency and became Academic and Faculty Dean at ITEA. She continues to teach undergraduates and is particularly passionate about teaching practitioners to teach the medicine. We hope you enjoy the chat!
