Talks

Labyrinth and Chartres Cathedral
Please follow the Facebook pages for talks on aspects of the Labyrinth, replays of talks about the Labyrinth, and talks about Chartres Cathedral in France.  (The modern Labyrinth movement sprang from there.)
Talks about Hildegard of Bingen
Hildegard was a 13th century mystic, who was an abbess, teacher, philosopher and healer. Her teachings are still important for our time, and she has recently been rediscovered, and made a Saint.
I used to play her music in my clinic, and often use it for Labyrinth walks. There are reproductions of her paintings in the Temple. I look forward to passing on some of her inspiring teachings. Please let me know if you would like to join a class, and check the Facebook pages for dates.

Homeopathy

Introduction to Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a complementary system of medicine that can be used alongside other mainstream or alternative treatment. Homeopathic remedies work with the body to promote health and normal functioning, and they do not interfere with medical treatment. They can decrease the side effects of conventional medication. Please let me know if you would like to come to an introductory talk on homeopathy.
Homeopathic First Aid
This popular course introduces you to the use of homeopathic remedies in a First Aid situation at home. A series of pamphlets can give you guidance for this. https://roseisbell.nz/first-aid. Remedies can be purchased from The Light House. https://www.thelighthouse.co.nz/shop
There is a Stock Clearance of some popular remedies at present. https://www.thelighthouse.co.nz/stock-clearance
Let me know if you would like to do this course. But do see a doctor if symptoms persist.

Homeopathic Consultations

I have practised Homeopathy for over 35 years, and have seen tens of thousands of patients. Now that I have retired from medicine, I continue to help my clients towards their optimal well being. Please check my website for information, and don’t hesitate to ring me for further information, and to make a booking.

I have recently had a short sabbatical, and am restarting in the Clinic, and again offering Talks and Courses.
While I have the opportunity, I am happy to give talks for small groups, and arrange individual meditation sessions,  as well as hosting groups
