Post Graduate Programme

Year 6 Post Graduate Programme starts in October 2026

Our aim for this new programme to become a world class post graduate course. We want the course to be practical and inspiring to support you in your clinic, as well as developing your personal and professional confidence and value as you step into the role of community healer. The weekends are to be outcomes based with the Sunday afternoon of each weekend to be case based. Below you will see the structure of the course.

This is a two-year course with 6 weekends in 2025/2026 and 6 weekends in 2026/2027. You may opt to only do one year if you wish.

Weekend 1  17–18 October

Homeopathic Balancing Therapy – Part 2

Antoinette Byrne
Following on from Part 1 we will delve deeper into the applications of Homeopathic Balancing Therapy exploring newer remedies and application of safe supplementation and/or basic nutritional guidance.

  • This module will cover the newer remedies associated with Homeopathic Balancing Therapy and their application in clinical practice.
  • Participants can expect to learn how to identify which cases are suitable for these newer remedies and understand their expected scope of action.

Weekend 2  15/16th November 

Thérèse Cosgrove
Integrative Medicine
Integrative Medicine provides an understanding of the web-like connections of physiology. The key physiological processes that determine health and disease may be described as; communication; bioenergetics; replication and repair; protection and defence; elimination; and transport. When these processes malfunction, it gives rise to clinical imbalances. These imbalances are inter-connected; an imbalance in one system can cause an imbalance in another. Understanding clinical imbalances bridges the gap between physiology and disease diagnosis, providing a practical holistic understanding of the processes underlying health and disease. Being able to identify clinical imbalances, and understanding the relationship between clinical imbalances, allows a more complete understanding of the client’s symptoms, and most importantly facilitates choosing an effective methodology and treatment plan. This is particularly useful in the many cases where layer treatment, detox therapy or organ support is required. Understanding the wonderful interconnectedness of the physiology of the body enhances your own confidence as a practitioner.

  • Clinical case discussions: case analysis, rubric selection, repertorisation, and remedy differentiation.

Weekend 4 20–21 March

Thriving Practitioner, Thriving Practice

Known World, Unknown World
Being a practitioner has its challenges, but it doesn’t have to be a struggle that takes an unnecessary toll on your own wellbeing or personal life. In my experience, practising with ease, enjoyment, confidence and abundance is entirely possible and is actually the most effective way to support your clients.
The ‘inner game’ of homeopathy has been my interest for many years, which led me to publish my book The Tao of Homeopathy in 2004. I was curious about the fact that we can have all the knowledge and practical skills to succeed, and yet still find the experience of being a practitioner to be difficult, daunting, or stressful in some way. After several decades researching this field, I was fortunate to discover an understanding known as the Three Principles in 2011 that enables rapid, gentle and lasting inner transformation beyond anything else I know.
I love sharing this simple understanding with homeopaths because I know it will transform your experience of practice as well as significantly enhancing the healing and listening space you create for your clients.

Weekend 5 24–25 April

Inspiring Homeopathy

Kim Kalina (In person, attendance recommended to benefit from the weekend)
*This weekend will not be recorded for confidentiality purposes.

Kim Kalina will guide us on a journey through the universal layers of Inspiring omeopathy, resonating the remedies for us in her lovely singing bowl to expand our awareness and deepen our relationship with ourselves and those around us. The Inspiring Homeopathy weekend is great for clearing out anything that may be holding you back, reconnecting you with yourself and your dreams, and enabling you to support patients to do the same.

A little about Inspiring Homeopathy: Tinus Smits identified nine universal homeopathic remedies for healing and transformation. The archetypal layers associated with them are so fundamental that working directly with them through these remedies inspires growth,  integrates deeply held desires, and transforms lives. www.tinussmits.com/3845/inspiring-homeopathy.aspx

Tinus believed it is essential to have an in-person group process in order to effectively experience the profound depth of Inspiring Homeopathy and to maintain the integrity of his method for the deepest levels of healing and transformation possible; Kim agrees and so shares them in person, as Tinus did.

Course dedicated to Anne Walker

Anne Walker was a brilliant and very inspiring homeopath who unfortunately passed away far too soon in December 2022. She was the fourth-year tutor for many years and students loved her classes so much that they asked her to continue with them after they graduated. This became a Year 5 and then a Year 6 and sometimes became a Year 7! This highlighted the fact that as in every profession graduation is both an ending and a beginning. Anne’s work helped nurture these new graduates into the amazing professional homeopaths you know and love today. We would like to dedicate this new course to Anne’s memory and even though she was a very modest person we feel she would be pleased.
