Homeopathy Summer School
Friday 1st Sept , 7pm start –Monday 4th Sept 2006, 5pm finish
This is an opportunity for learning, relaxation, connection and self-development.

Topics

Day 1 : ‘Remedy and Case Maps’

Remedy and case maps : this is the direction a case moves in and the remedies that come up. It is possible by knowing the remedy you give at the first consultation to have some idea of the other remedies a patient needs in relation to acutes, chronics, nosodes and so on. I will look at some well-known remedies and map the remedies that belong to the same clinical constellation.
We will look at comparative materia medica and how patients/remedies speak and act in the consultation room. We will compare behaviour, words and actions of the remedies and look at situations and crisis that will bring out the remedy pathologies.


Day 2 : ‘Science, Spirit and Homeopathy’

In this one-day workshop you look at how homeopathic remedies work from a scientific and spiritual point of view. Our speaker explores how science explains the Vital Force and looks at whether there is a clinical or scientific basis for Hering's Laws of Cure. Aspects of Biochemistry, Physics and Astrology are used to explain the 'memory' of water. In addition we will look at the benefits and contraindications of integrating homeopathy with other complementary medicine disciplines. Practicals include actually feeling the Vital Force and exercises to manage it within the practitioner as well as within a patient.

Day 3 : ‘Vibrational Medicine and the Role of the Homoeopath’
We live in a sea of Energy, and as Homoeopaths we become one with the Homoeopathic Process. This one-day workshop will explore this theme further through practical application of The Ancient Wisdom Teachings as they relate to Homoeopathy and other Vibrational Medicines. This will be a journey of Discovery as well as learning skills applicable to each individuals Homoeopathic Practice.

Yoga/Qi Gong/Shiatsu
