| Teleosis
School of Homeopathy in Boston, Mass., USA is a collaborative effort
among four women — Begabati Lennihan, Loretta Butehorn, Peris
Gumz and Kim Kalina — who collectively are as well versed
in education as in homeopathy. Teleosis classes meet at a distinguished
university in the heart of Boston's medical area. The school is
founded on these basic principles:
• active learning: the students practice each skill they
are taught until they have mastered it
• constructive feedback from individual tutors
• focus on the student’s thought process rather than
“finding the right remedy”
• respect for different methods of prescribing
• creating community among homeopaths
• reverence for the natural world and the healing substances
it provides us
• a strong foundation in classical homeopathy followed by
an introduction to the exciting new developments in homeopathy
• a student clinic in which students take the cases and make
the decisions, under the watchful guidance of experienced homeopaths
Teleosis was founded by Dr. Joel Kreisberg in New York in 1996.
A teacher before he became a chiropractor, herbalist and homeopath,
Joel based his school on the most progressive educational methods.
After moving to California, he passed Teleosis to Begabati Lennihan
in 2003. Joel then founded the Teleosis Institute for Ecologically
Sustainable Medicine. From Joel we learned an appreciation for the
healing herbs from which most remedies are derived; an eclectic
approach to classical homeopathy; and an appreciation for the spiritual
underpinnings of compassionate healing practice.
Begabati
brought the school to Boston with the support of two other homeopaths
who had studied with Dr. Luc De Schepper — Loretta Butehorn
and Peris Gumz. From Dr. Luc we learned classical homeopathy strongly
grounded in the great old masters of the past; a fluency with LM
prescribing following the 6th edition of the Organon; and the effective
use of classical miasmatic prescribing.
We have more recently been joined by Kim Kalina, one of the founding
members of the Teleosis teaching clinic in New York, who is now
bringing her experience to enhance our Clinical Program.
Teleosis currently incorporates several programs:
• A two-year Professional Program followed by a two-year
Clinical Program, both meeting one weekend per month, and providing
preparation for the CCH exam
• The Elements of Homeopathy, a year-long introduction to
home prescribing
• Seminars open to the homeopathic community featuring nationally
and internationally-distinguished homeopaths
• A teaching clinic for low-income clients
• Weekend seminars in acute prescribing for the general public
• Satellite clinics run by Dr. Loretta Butehorn providing
clinical experience for advanced students and alumnae (described
in her article)
Americans and Canadians interested in studying with us —
including those who would like to transfer into our program to take
advantage of our teaching clinic and/or CCH prep curriculum —
are welcome to contact us.
Foreign students please note: we regret that we are unable to provide
visas for students or green cards for homeopaths from abroad. Graduation
from this program does not provide a license or legal protection
to practice homeopathy (this is true for all schools of homeopathy
in the U.S. at this time).
