Reparenting through Homeopathy

September 15 - 21, 2024

A 7-Day Retreat in Greece

Immerse yourself in the beauty, history, and awe of Ancient Greece as we explore historical sights and natural spaces while delving into the story of Circe, the goddess and enchantress of Greek mythology known for her powers of transformation and healing.

During our journey, we will guide you through the Kaleidoscopic Materia Medica found in Circe's story, providing a foundation for exploring how homeopathy can aid in healing childhood wounds and learning to reparent oneself.

Prepare for a transformative experience, whether you are a student or practitioner of homeopathy, as we open ourselves to personal and homeopathic growth.

Our itinerary includes accommodations and tours, each magical in its own right, with lectures integrated throughout the experience by Je Norbu Huenecke, CCH, RSHom(NA), and Desirée Brazelton, CCH. Detailed information on the lectures will be provided at least one month before departure.

Circe's mythology offers valuable insights into parenting and re-parenting in the modern world. Her story symbolizes the nurturing and wise mother figure, highlighting the transformative power of love and compassion. This journey symbolizes healing past wounds and traumas through self-care and inner transformation. Applying her lessons, we can foster emotional resilience and promote personal growth.

From a Neo-Classical Homeopathic perspective, Circe's mythology serves as a metaphor for the individual's healing journey or individuation. By exploring the signs, symbols, and metaphors in this re-telling of an ancient myth homeopathic practitioners can gain insights into patients' underlying issues and facilitate profound healing and personal growth in themselves and their clients.

We kindly request that all travelers read Circe by Madeline Miller in preparation for the experience.
