Re: classical homeopathy / Hahnemann and magnets

A school that was founded with Sheilagh Creasey's direct guidance and input exists in San Francisco. It's called "Institute of Classical Homeopathy." They have once monthly weekend classes and also clinics for third and fourth year students. I think they split off from Sheilagh several years after their founding because they thought she was not strictly classical enough (that tells you something important about them). They simply ignore anything that's happened in homeopathy after Kent, including the Sixth Edition of the Organon (they are very Kentian, by the way), and their students and graduates learn and practice homeopathy as if we were living in the 1890s -- a real time machine. Obviously, they see and teach homeopathy as if it were a dead language rather than a living science, and all speculation or exploration is discouraged. They do thoroughly ground their students in the classic homeopathic texts. The school enrolls 20 or so students each year, and continues to hold its niche in the marketplace.
People have a wide range in how much and what kind of structure they need, and those who prefer to work within a very stable system do well at ICH. The student testimonial on the ICH home page speaks eloquently to their approach: "When I'm being taught here, I feel the masters are right in the room. It's their words that are being imparted to us. Why settle for less?" The Institute's founders are extremely devoted to what they do. Their website is www.classicalhomoeopathy.org
