The spring season in the UK is as active as it is here in the US, and “special days” abound as well. As usual, if you know of an event that belongs on this list, just contact me and let me know, and I will add it.

It has definitely been a cold spring around here, but the trees are finally starting to show signs of life and you can tell that as soon as the real warmth hits, it’ll all happen overnight. As always, this is an incredibly busy season with lots of classes and workshops all over the country, and almost [...]

We’re back with part 3 of the homeopathy series – the last half of my interview with Shirley where she gives us tips on how to give our pets homeopathic remedies, shares lots more great information, her favorite remedies to keep on hand, ways you can learn if you want to study homeopathy more in-depth, [...]

Welcome to the second installment of our 3-part mini-series on homeopathy – the first half of my interview with animal homeopath Shirley Moore.
As I mentioned in an earlier post – Notes From the Conference on Complementary Animal Healing – I had the pleasure of attending a talk on homeopathy for animals by Shirley this past [...]

We’re almost through another winter and with spring around the corner, activity is picking up everywhere. This is one of the longest lists we have had so far, and there are lots of fun classes going on all around the country.
As usual, if you know of an event that belongs on this list, please contact [...]

Today’s post is a great video talk by Jo Maldonado on energy therapies for both humans and dogs, and how our thoughts and feelings impact our animals.
It’s easy to forget, but I have noticed again and again that when I’m working with an animal, especially those with emotional issues, my own energy level and mood [...]

First of all, I apologize for publishing this a bit later than usual – we had (and still have) family visiting from overseas for the holidays, and I have been too busy having “offline” fun (and cooking!).
Also, it seems that this list is a bit shorter than usual, and I suspect that might [...]

Since many of us don’t live close to areas where the complementary animal health classes we want to take are taught, I thought I’d put together a list of online training classes, webinars, teleclasses, correspondence courses, distance learning programs, etc. – all the different ways you can study from home.
This list [...]

I have been using various homeopathic remedies every now and then on myself for many years now, but haven’t really studied the subject. Some were recommended to us by my husband’s acupuncturist, some I happened to come across on my own and found that they worked really well for me.
We also used a few homeopathic [...]

This past weekend, I attended the first Conference on Complementary Animal Healing in Boxborough, MA, organized by Maureen Harmonay of Animal Translations, and wanted to share my notes with you.
We were around 40 people and 6 dogs who gathered on Sunday morning (the conference was Sunday and Monday, but I was only able to go [...]

In the UK, things are also winding down for the holidays, and many of the higher level classes are being held this time of year (so they are not on the list since I only list introductory and foundation courses). As usual, if you have or know of an event that belongs on this list, [...]

It’s hard to believe that another year has gone by and we’re looking at the events for the last two months of 2012. Where does the time go? Things are winding down, and most of the events on this list are in November. Partly because many of the higher levels of courses take place towards [...]

Happy fall everyone! I hope you had a fantastic summer with lots of fun stuff going on. I finally got to go home to Sweden to see friends and family – it had been 3 years since the last visit, so that was a big treat. And while I was there, I took the chance [...]
