Not Just for the Gym

We are about to enter into our last teaching weekend of the year and I’m spending time reflecting on the courage of our students.  I’m grateful for so many aspects of PHI and our community but in particular right now, it’s the bravery and courage of our students that strikes me the most.  Why these and why now?

I’ve been out there online and often search the internet for learning opportunities.   Joining an online course is easy.  Joining an asynchronous online course is even easier!  A few clicks of a button, enter your credit card and POOF!  You are now enrolled.  

I know! I’m in a couple of courses like this right now.  I can listen to the pre-recorded lectures any time and in any environment I choose.  Mostly I choose to listen while I’m at the gym, on the treadmill or out for a walk.  I’m usually passively taking in the information, knowing that I’ll get the notes at the end of the lecture.  And for one of my courses, no homework is even required!  I just have to finish watching the recording, the lesson is marked complete and I’m on my way to the next one.  This type of learning is easy, easily available and serves its purpose.  

But I’m not changed by it.

I don’t have to wrestle with it or be challenged by it.

I don’t even have to engage with it if I don’t want to.

At PHI, our entire program has been developed and is delivered in a way that requires you to engage, be challenged and wrestle with the concepts.  Through our three year program, we want homeopathy to have its way with you; to settle into your being in a way that can’t be passive.  We require you to show up however you can every weekend and at each retreat.  You don’t have to be perfect or get it yet or know it all.  You just have to show up with a willingness to change and a curiosity about what’s possible.

Our program is not for the faint of heart.  It takes courage and bravery to join your peers each month for three full days of live learning.  It takes courage and bravery to raise your hand to both answer a question or admit that you need something explained in a different way because you aren’t getting it yet.  

It takes courage to change.

And you can’t not change when you take on the transformational journey of learning at PHI.

In order to truly become a healer, we invite you to examine and heal your own darkness.  This requires true courage and bravery.  In doing so, however, you develop your understanding of what’s possible for your clients.  Knowing how you have healed emboldens you to move out into the world as a homeopathic practitioner.  

Sure, you can learn a lot of the homeopathic nuts and bolts while you’re lifting weights at the gym.   But taking the information into your mind without opening your heart leads to the practice of mechanical homeopathy.  Our new cohort begins their journey in January.

Open your heart.

Find your people.

Begin your career in holistic healing now.

Be loved,

Desirée Brazelton, PHI Co-Founder
