This trituration will take place near Chewelah WA (1 hour NW of Spokane) on a private wilderness acreage. The remedy will be sourced and triturated on site, and at a nearby cabin, weather depending. This is a lively hands-on workshop, requiring the active participation of all workshop members. Conversation between all participants will be highly encouraged..
The workshop will begin with a meditation on site late Friday afternoon after we have harvested the mistletoe. During this workshop, we will explore the process of making larch dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium laricis) into a homeopathic remedy, starting with a small amount of the plant. Using a mortar and pestle and lactose powder, participants will learn the ancient science and art of homeopathic trituration, first invented by Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy. Once the workshop is complete, participants will have the knowledge and confidence to make their own homeopathic remedies in the future, if they so desire.
Larch dwarf mistletoe is a parasitic plant which infects mostly western larch trees (Larix occidentalis) and is native to BC as well as Washington state. It is a member of the plant family Viscaceae, along with the commonly known remedy Viscum album (European mistletoe). Even though they are both in the same plant family, the mistletoes are further split into separate genus types. There are currently no known homeopathic provings of any of the 26 species in the genus Arceuthobium (dwarf mistletoes).
During this trituration, we will also be exploring the healing properties of homeopathic larch dwarf mistletoe, mainly through art, as well as through conversation and journaling.
This event is open to professionals as well as to laypeople. To understand more about trituration provings, please visit the Homeopathic Trituration Proving FAQ
Participants should bring their own mortar and pestle if they have one, journals and/or art materials. Extra supplies will be provided as needed.
