Holistic Animal Health Classes, Courses & Workshops in the US, Canada and UK: January - February 2012

Once again, the holidays are almost behind us and it’s time to get back to business. Workshop activity is picking up a bit again, and I am also in the process of updating the visiting courses for 2012 (listed at the end of each country’s school list). I should be done with that in the [...]

Holistic Animal Health Events & Workshops - USA, Canada & UK - December 2011

This is the shortest events and workshops list we have had here so far. Partly because everyone is taking some much needed time off to focus on the holiday festivities (and hopefully get some rest too), and partly because I decided to adjust the lists so that they run per calendar year. So this list [...]

Holistic Animal Health Events & Workshops - USA, Canada & UK - August & September 2011

Summer is here and it’s finally feeling like it in Massachusetts. After a cold and rainy June, we’re now enjoying sunshine and 90+ temperatures (at least I’m enjoying it – I’ll take that any day over snow!). There are plenty of classes and workshops in August and September, although noticeably fewer than earlier in the [...]

Holistic Animal Health Events & Workshops - USA, Canada & UK - June & July 2011

Holistic Animal Health Events & Workshops - USA, Canada & UK - April & May 2011

Winter is pretty much done, and I saw the first snowdrops and crocuses just last week. It feels like we’re all coming out of hibernation and there are lots of classes and workshops to choose from all over the US and Canada. And, for the first time, events in the UK are included on the [...]

Offering Reiki To A Horse (And Cat)

Today’s post comes from Kathleen Prasad, who was our featured practitioner in the very first post in this series (Alternative Healing Modality: Reiki). I went into more detail about what Reiki is and how it works in that post so I won’t repeat it here, but just quickly for those who are unfamiliar with it: [...]

Offering Reiki To Sheep

Many people would be surprised to learn that practitioners of alternative and complementary medicine not only focus on people’s pets, but also wildlife, zoo, and farm animals. It’s important to not forget about them, or take them for granted. They are living beings with feelings and emotions just like us, and deserve to be treated [...]
