Between 1999 and 2002, Frances conducted a successful series of workshops and groups called “Unleash the Flirt Within! - how to become more playful, succulent, and irresistible. She was interviewed on Body and Soul TV; People Dimensions on ABC TV and various radio shows including ABC Radio National, 2UE and 2GB etc.
At the end of 2003 she co-facilitated (with Allan Rudner) a series of forums called “She says /He says – Peace talks for the battle between the sexes”.
The aim of the forums is to bring women and men together in a space of reconciliation to talk about their fears and misunderstandings and joys
– and thereby come to forgiveness and greater aliveness together.
Frances is also writing a book called “BonkBuddies and HugBuddies
- Succulent Relationships for Singles." She is inspired by the works of David Deida, David Schnarch, Gaye Hendricks, Phyllis Davis, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Margo Anand and the LovingMore organisation.
