Description
This course provides a clear, comprehensive exploration of homeopathic kingdoms and groups as organized within Anne Vervarcke’s Vital Approach. Drawing on the breadth of existing homeopathic knowledge, the course offers a practical way to orient yourself within remedy families without introducing a new system or replacing established approaches.
Across 20 in-depth lectures, each session focuses on a specific group or kingdom, including familiar categories such as animals, plants, and minerals, as well as less commonly taught groups like bodies of water, gemstones, celestial bodies, viruses, primitive plants, molluscs, sarcodes, and imponderables. Together, these lectures offer a coherent overview of how remedy groups relate to one another across the full landscape of homeopathy.
The course is taught by Anne Vervarcke, whose teaching reflects over four decades of clinical experience and careful observation. Rather than emphasizing protocols or rigid frameworks, Anne shares clear guidelines for recognizing essential patterns in cases and distinguishing meaningful group characteristics. Case examples from her own practice are used to illustrate how group themes can be understood and differentiated in real clinical contexts.
For experienced homeopaths, the course supports clearer differentiation between groups and greater efficiency when working with complex cases. For those earlier in their homeopathic training, it offers an accessible and well-organized introduction to the many remedy families encountered in practice.
No homeopathic software is required to apply or benefit from the course content.
Course Content
Instructor
Anne Vervarcke was born October 15th 1952 in Ostend, Belgium. After studying art, oriental studies, and anthropology, she trained in classical homeopathy in Belgium and in the Netherlands at the School for Homeopathy in Amersfoort.
She established The Centre for Classical Homeopathy (CKH) in Leuven, Belgium, which organizes a five-year training course, a Master Class, seminars, and an International Training. Anne served as program creator, teacher, and director for 15 years. She has also been in private practice since 1989.
Anne Vervarcke has developed her own style of practice, the Vital Approach (VA) Method, based on over 40-years of accumulated teaching and practicing experience, seminar attendance, and investigation in her private practice. The VA method is based on classical homeopathy supplemented with the works of contemporary thinkers and insights from phenomenology and linguistics. She gives international trainings and seminars, teaches in the CKH, offers post graduate seminars, Master Classes, Master Apprentice courses, online trainings, a Mentorship Program, webinars and a unique software search program named ‘The Family Finder’.
Anne Vervarcke has published novels and twelve books on homeopathy (of which three in Dutch) for the general public, “Klassieke homeopathie, niet te geloven?!” and “250 jaar na Hahnemann.” The book ‘Voorbij Lichaam and Geest” contains 9 exemplary cases from the Master Classes with clear analyses and discussions.
Her latest book on ‘A World Map of Homeopathic Families’ has come out in English recently. It introduces the concepts of 2D / 3D groups and the Vital Approach Map of Homeopathic Families which Anne likens to a treasure map for the similimum. Practitioners will learn how to identify clear pointers for the bigger groups and families, what other key information to look for in a case, how to connect the dots and recognise patterns leading to more efficient prescribing and improved outcomes.
Her English language publications for homeopaths are:
~The Charm of Homeopathy, which describes how she developed her method, the AV Method
~The Postgraduate Annual 2006, a succinct overview of her method, demonstrating its value in daily practice in both adult and pediatric cases
Books by Anne Vervarcke:
~The Charm of Homeopathy
~Behind the Glass Screen: A Homeopathic Survey of Ozone
~The Vital Approach
~Homeopathy, Strange, Rare and Peculiar
~Homeopathy is Everywhere
~Beyond Mind and Body
