In this episode of Strange, Rare, and Peculiar, Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray reflect on the recent Potentized Homeopath Retreat and explore what it really means to pursue professional or postgraduate homeopathy education today. Whether you’re just starting your journey into homeopathic medicine or looking to deepen your clinical skills, this conversation unpacks the mindset, mentorship, and rigor needed to grow as a homeopath.
From the emotional high of graduation to the community magic of the gala and the intensity of the retreat, this episode recaps a remarkable season of learning, laughter, and transformation at HOHM Foundation and the Academy of Homeopathy Education.
“There’s this part of homeopathy that’s just really going deep in... really having to work at it.”
You’ll hear stories of scavenger hunts with medicinal plants, heartfelt team reflections, kilts in the garden (yes, really), and the scholarly depth that defines what modern homeopathy school can be. Denise and Alastair also speak candidly about the clinical realities of chronic disease care and what’s required from homeopaths who want to practice at the highest level.
