About the event

We are delighted to welcome back Dr Jonathan Hardy for this one-day online William Kadleigh Series Masterclass exploring new animal cases.

Jonathan will present new animal cases from the last twelve to eighteen months of his practice. These will include the new snake remedies introduced to our materia medica by Dr.Vatsala Sperling of Canada – the Colubrid snakes. Dr. Vatsala Sperling has identified a significant gap in our homeopathic materia medica and has filled it expertly. She has drawn attention to the remarkable fact that our existing materia medica contains snake remedies of only one type – they are all extremely dangerous to humans. This is in spite of the fact that by far the largest family of snakes found in Nature, the Colubrids, are almost all relatively harmless to us. Colubrid snakes, being non-venomous (for humans) and defence­less, are preoccupied with protecting themselves from predators. Their techniques for self-defence are hiding, escaping, and appear­ing more dangerous than they are. Colubrid snakes are milder, weaker and less powerful than venomous snakes. The themes of more dangerous and powerful snakes are missing in cases requiring a Colubrid snake. They feel weak and defenceless and use different defence strategies. These defence strategies are the keys to identifying their remedies and we will see cases of Natrix natrix (Grass snake), Elaphe guttata (Corn Snake) and Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis (Garter snake).

In addition we will see some interesting new Bird and Spider cases, demonstrating the unique features of the remedies and revising our knowledge of the key distinguishing features of these specific animal groups.
