Marina Billinghurst "Transformative Healing Through Creative Expression"

Marina Billinghurst is an accomplished artist, fashion designer, and author who has made a significant shift from corporate fashion to promoting slow fashion through her line of luxury dusters, scarves and home decor. She is deeply committed to ethical and sustainable practices, using her art to inspire beauty, positivity, and connection, thus fostering a global butterfly effect of positive change. Marina believes that healing is fundamentally achieved through acknowledgment and connection, a perspective shaped by her journey of overcoming traumas through intense meditation and self-reflection during the pandemic. By sharing her story and organizing transformative art workshops, she aims to help others find healing, build resilience, and create a supportive and hopeful community.
