Homeopathy Hangout with Eugénie Krüger

Why is it important to study homeopathy, and why now?

In this episode, we'll speak with Marcus to learn more about The Centre for Homeopathic Education, which gives students the chance to reflect on their progress on a psychological, emotional, and spiritual level through both self-development and group work and become successful in their homeopathic practice. We'll also talk about the future of homeopathy and how anyone who is just learning about homeopathy or wants to become a homeopath can get involved.

Marcus Fernandez is the founder and principal of The Centre for Homeopathic Education and has been practicing and teaching homeopathy for the last twenty-six years. Marcus felt there wasn’t yet a homeopathic training course that offered its students an in-depth understanding of both classical and practical modern approaches to homeopathy. He wanted to make homeopathy accessible to all by offering short courses for complete beginners and longer-term licentiate practitioner degree level courses for those who would like to become professional homeopaths. He is passionate about facilitating a community for homeopaths and those who are interested in homeopathy. CHE does this by regularly organizing seminars, conferences, webinars, and postgraduate training courses and by creating an active community on Facebook.

01:35 - How did Marcus first become acquainted with homeopathy
11:03 - The best thing that you can do for your practice
17:11 - The future of homeopathy is about sharing and community

Anneke Hogeland, co-author of The Trituration Handbook: Into the Heart of Homeopathy, walks us through the practice of triturations, a careful process of preparing remedies that often gets overlooked in homeopathy. She shares how her training in the Netherlands and collaboration with Judy Schriebman led to the creation of their definitive guide, filling a gap in how triturations are taught and practiced. The conversation explores practical examples, from bird remedies to calendula and persimmon, showing how these preparations can reveal both physical and emotional insights. Anneke also talks about the unexpected challenges of triturations and how to approach them with awareness and intention. Stories from her work, including a patient with cancer, highlight the real-world impact these remedies can have when carefully prepared.

About my Guests:
ANNEKE C.H. HOGELAND, MS, MFT (1948 – present) practiced as a homeopath, psycho therapist, and hypnosis expert in and around Berkeley, California. Anneke leads Family Constellation Therapy workshops worldwide. She graduated from the Pacific Academy of Homeopathy in San Francisco in 2000. A Dutch citizen, she first came to the U.S. in the late sixties for college, but soon after her arrival became completely enchanted with hot air ballooning. She traveled the world for many years as one of the first female commercial balloon pilots and set a world altitude record at 28,036 feet in 1977. Early in her homeopathic career, Anneke studied extensively with European homeopaths and found the quality of teaching, research and practice was frequently moving into realms that were not discussed in American schools. In Germany they were triturating remedies to higher levels (C4 homeopathy) leading to a greater understanding of remedies. Jan Scholten was classifying the minerals and elements. Roger van Zandvoort was working on the Millenium repertory, and researcher Frans Vermeulen was organizing and correcting the entire Materia Medica in significant ways. Alize Timmerman, as the foremost proponent of C4 homeopathy in the Netherlands, was spreading this work far and wide across the world. As the founder of HomeopathyWest, Anneke has organized many homeopathic seminars in the San Francisco Bay Area; Judy continues this work. Anneke is semi-retired now and moved to Portugal in 2018.

Today's episode features Ian White. We'll learn the background and philosophy of flower essences, gain fresh perspectives on the natural world, the plant kingdom, and ourselves, comprehend how our emotional patterns affect us, and learn how to change these patterns in a way that enhances the level of our lives.

Ian White is the founder of Australian Bush Flower Essences and a 5th generation Australian herbalist who has been practicing successfully as a naturopath for 30 years. His great-grandmother worked as a herbalist during Australia's Gold Rush in the 1850s. Ian's grandmother, like her mother before her, was among the first white people to research and use native plants for healing. Ian, as a young boy, grew up in the bush, living next door to his grandmother, and would spend as much time as possible helping her make her herbal tinctures and extracts. She would often take him for walks in the bush, teaching him about the healing qualities of many of the plants and flowers within the Australian landscape. Ian has continued this family tradition, though specializing in the emotional and spiritual qualities of the Australian bush. He is the author of five major books and regularly teaches workshops on the Bush Essences and his Spiritual Essences in over 30 countries.
