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.
This event will take place in person near Chewelah, WA. To RSVP or to find out more details, please call 604-677-7742 or email LMhomeopath@gmail.com.

With Sonya McLeod, Classical Homeopath and author of “The Art of Homeopathic Provings” (forthcoming title, Saltire Books, late spring/summer 2020).
In this very important time in history, during this global COVID-19 crisis, I would like to invite you to take part in a homeopathic proving of Shungite Gemstone. During our time together, we will explore the potential that this gemstone has for healing human consciousness on a global collective level.
Shungite Gemstone is billions of years old, and is the only natural mineral that contains fullerenes (aka carbon60, carbo fullerine or “buckyballs”). For healing, shungite gemstone is commonly used as a general detoxifier, and is especially known to be the most effective gemstone for detoxing EMFs. In world-renowned homeopath Jeremy Sherr’s recent lectures about using homeopathy for COVID-19, he places the overall picture of the COVID-19 state in the radioactive miasm, and proposes that radioactive remedies such as Radon may be useful for treatment.

Albino “Ghost” Redwood Proving Presentation at the BCAH Conference in Vancouver
Saturday October 5, 2019
11:30am-12:30pm
BCAH Annual Homeopathic Conference
SFU Harbour Centre, Vancouver
Sonya McLeod, Classical Homeopath and BCAH Board Member, is excited to present material from her upcoming book “Provings Volume 1” to be published in 2020 by Saltire Books.
Albino “Ghost” Redwood was a trituration proving organized by Sonya McLeod in Vancouver in 2011, guest led by “Trituration Handbook” authors Judy Shriebmann and Anneke Hogeland from San Francisco.
The key themes of this unique and useful homeopathic remedy will be discussed.
During her one hour presentation, Sonya will also invite participants to experience and resonate with the core essence of the remedy first hand by playing clips from the original 2011 voice recording of the Albino “Ghost” Redwood trituration proving. Sonya has found that one of the most effective and powerful ways to interact and connect with the proving substance is during the scraping and grinding (trituration) process itself; therefore, all participants will be invited to interact with the substance directly by each taking a turn at grinding the original “C5” Albino “Ghost” Redwood lactose powder with a mortar and pestle.
