The 6th Annual Conference of the West Coast Homeopathic
Society was held on Saturday, April 25, at the Arbutus Club in Vancouver.
Feedback was uniformly positive, with many requests for more of
the same at future events.
The day began early with professional coach, Juliet
Austin, speaking on
"Keys to a Successful Homeopathic Practice". Juliet
discussed concepts and guidelines for what it takes to build a successful and rewarding
private practice while maintaining our own values and the integrity that is inherent in
homeopathy. Topics covered included key business requirements, discipline-building
techniques, and effective marketing strategies.
Following a break to socialize and view exhibitor booths, the
audience was treated to presentations from three WCHS members who
shared their experiences with "Volunteering Through
Homeopathy". Barb Gosney used a slide show to illustrate a
candid review of her successes and misses as a volunteer at the
Families for Children orphanage in India. Barbara Resendes discussed her
life-changing experience with the
Abha
Light Foundation in Kenya. Closer to home, Roland Guenther
introduced the new Side-by-Side project in Vancouver that is working with
individuals wanting to overcome addiction through homeopathy.
All speakers were deeply moving and inspiring!
After a delicious lunch break, Keynote Speaker Krista
Heron, ND, DHANP,
spoke on "Creating a Therapeutic Relationship",
demonstrating through cases how attunement, empathy, self-disclosure, and
projective identification can be used to deeply understand the patient.
This theme was further expanded on during Krista's full-day seminar on
the following Sunday.
The conference concluded with our Annual General Meeting,
followed by one of our popular Fundraising Raffles. These raffles are a
