The School of Homeopathy held an historic event in Stroud to celebrate its 30th Anniversary. Many of the world’s leading homeopaths came to show support and give presentations and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales sent his warmest congratulations:

“I did just want to send my warmest possible congratulations in celebration of the Stroud School of Homeopathy’s 30th Anniversary. It seems to me this most noteworthy of events takes on an even greater resonance, coming as it does at a time when, sadly, we have been witnessing the relative decline of some homeopathic services in different parts of the United Kingdom.

It makes the achievements of the School even more significant – from being one of the first in this country to offer an on-site, four year programme, to developing an extensive clinical supervision process and, in addition, creating a home-study programme which reaches students in over sixty countries.

It seems remarkable all this has happened in spite of the apparently ceaseless attacks on homeopathy, and on the individuals attempting to build credibility around its patient outcomes, and I can only wish you every possible success in the years to come.”

Over the first weekend of July the School hosted a seminar, private party and online event at Hawkwood College in Stroud. Most of the UK’s main homeopathic organisations were represented, along with homeopaths and alternative practitioners from China, Japan, America, Canada, India and Europe. They started with an intimate seminar and dinner for special guests and business partners, which lead on to a day of presentations from world leading homeopaths that were simultaneously broadcast online and watched by over 1800 homeopaths in 60 plus countries. Following these presentations the School hosted a private party for 150 guests. There were speeches from David Drew, Town Councillor and former MP; Mani Norland, Principal of the School of Homeopathy; and Misha Norland, Founder of the School of Homeopathy. After a glass of bubbly toast, guests were entertained with music from two local Stroud bands: The Soggy Bottom Boys and Ben & Ru. Stroud’s best awarded pub, the Prince Albert organised the bar and the whole event was made possible with the help of the School’s generous sponsors: Archibel, RadarOpus, Nelsons Homeopathic Pharmacy and Alternative Training.

Mani Norland, the School of Homeopathy’s Principal says, “This incredible event was our way of celebrating the School’s achievement of 30 years at the forefront of UK homeopathic education. This is one of the largest most exciting events ever held in homeopathy. Never before have so many influential homeopaths come together to present at one free online event – it is truly world class! We are honoured and proud to be given the added endorsement from His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. We feel it was a great gift to give the profession and a fitting way to mark the year for us.”

The School (which is the longest running in the UK) was founded in 1981 and quickly developed to be one of the first to offer an on-site four year programme. It has worked closely with the Society of Homeopaths during a long development towards an accreditation process. The School has always maintained a cutting edge approach to its curriculum, integrating wisdom teachings and Jungian psychology from the outset. It also eagerly incorporates new developments in homeopathic thinking and clinical practice. These are put to the test in the clinics where the healing techniques are demonstrated. The School moved from its original home in Devon to Hawkwood College in Stroud two years ago. Last year, six of the worlds leading homeopaths were appointed as patrons and most recently the School is planning a considerable update to its distance-learning program with the inclusion of over 150 teaching videos.
