Vital Practice
Stories From the Healing Arts
The Homeopathic and Supervisory Way

Supervision is a critical part of becoming a successful homeopath, remarkable there is very little written on supervision in homeopathy. Sheila has given us a unique book drawing on her years of experience as both a supervisor and homeopath bringing the two together in this great text.

Part two of the book provides elemental guides to making and maintaining relationship, contracting, working in threes, self supervising, supervising networks, teams and groups, student clinics and phone and email supervision.

Quotes
Vital Practice is the first text in the worldwide supervision profession that integrates the art and science of homeopathy with those of supervision. In this book Sheila has created a gift for both professions. It will give us a shared text to work from as well as accelerate a homeopathic understanding of supervision practice.
Kathy Lukas, Co-Principal New York School of Homeopathy

At last a book that describes and explores the potential and range of supervision in a homeopathic context.
Grazyna Baran, Registrar Society of Homeopaths

Here's a book which fills a gap in our literature - well two gaps actually. The first is the supervision of practice, the second is the bringing together of homeopathic awareness with current trends in psychotherapeutics and spiritual growth work. The title, Vital Practice gives it away: the book is about helping the practitioner stay in the vital flow, the dynamic of the moment, without prejudice and therefore, hopefully without burnout. The book gives cases and anecdotes and offers exercises to encourage the reader to be awake and creative in their day to day practice.
Misha Norland, Principal The School of Homeopathy
