Iridology poetry

Hafdís, one of the wonderful first-year student, wrote this poem to celebrate becoming a Master Iridologist.

Look into my eyes

Tell me what you see

Do you see my achivements

Do you see my goals

Or do you see my mistakes 

And my shames

But it does not matter

Because its all there

You are looking into 

The mirror of my soul.

Look deep into my eyes

Now tell me what you see

Do you see landscape

Or do you see a star

Looking at the ocean

Or into the midnight sun

Do you see my secrets

Reveling themselves

Signs and symptoms

Buried in my soul.

Luv Hafdís

Herbalism with guest teacher Brigitte Mars

A long-standing teacher at the School of Natural Medicine in USA, Brigitte Mars taught 4 days of the second years fall Naturopathic Immersion. Besides introducing traditional chinese herbal medicine, she took the students on a herb walk, taught how to make tooth powder, facial scrubs, salves, tinctures, flower essences and much more. Brigitte also did a wonderful job of adjusting her teaching to the Icelandic herbal reality.

A walk down Elliðadalur brought an unexpected bounty of edible and medicinal plants. 
We dug up dandelion root for making tinctures, collected thistle roots, colts foot, rowan berries and much more.

Brigitte demonstrated what she called kitchen herbalism, a wonderful approach to herbal medicine beginners to take the fear out of working with herbs and making it a fun thing to bring into our life.

One student reported that she was out digging roots the day after the class ended, so inspired was she.

Several students have expressed their gratitude to Farida for bringing Brigitte over as teacher. We look forward to having her visit us again.

Oils and Essences

One of the deepest classes of the three years is the Oils and Essences class taught by Farida. Every day Farida introduced one of  various life processes with Farida's knowledge gained from extensive research over many years. Then Farida guided all students into healing processes of various kinds using essential oils and flower remedies. A truly outstanding class leading to profound self-healing and self-awareness. Lilja introduced the neuro-auricular technique she had learned at her trip to the Gary Young clinic in Ecuador last winter. We also experimented with the Time Risk method blending iridology with trauma healing and energy release work.
