Hello,

It’s February. For many of us, it’s cold. And maybe snowy and somewhat isolating. Now, almost exactly midway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox, we’re at that itchiest seasonal pivot. We can imagine warmer days and sunshine, but we see ice when we look out the window. And this is when everybody seems to get sick, and sick of the season.

What I love about homeopathic care, especially for navigating this time of year, is that it is all about building internal resources in order to reduce susceptibility to seasonal illness. What I mean is, it’s not a system designed to “battle” illness, instead it works to prevent sickness from getting any traction in our system. Maybe it is the healing art most aligned with Sun Tzu’s dictum from The Art of War: "Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting."

That is important in this hard season when a lot of us feel winter blues and also find ourselves reaching for a handkerchief. This Friday, we’ll be gathering for a salon at The Space on Chestnut Street in Providence to discuss homeopathy, physical health, and our emotional lives in winter, not as separate entities, but as intertwined terrain.

I’ll share specific case examples from my work with clients. We’ll explore how homeopathic care can balance shifting moods, seasonal heaviness, and the physical challenges we face. I’ll introduce a homeopathic toolkit to help with acute issues this season. The goal in homeopathy, as I see it, isn’t just to boost or fight in the language of war, but to cultivate a deeper kind of energetic health within ourselves.

🗓 The Details:

What: Wintering Well, A Homeopathy Salon
Where: The Space, 171 Chestnut St, Providence
When: Friday, February 6, 5:30 PM

It is free, and open to the public. Tea will be poured, and thoughtful conversation guaranteed.

If you are in or near Providence, please do come. There is something profoundly different about sharing this kind of space in person, away from digital echo chambers. It’s a chance to be a little lost in thought together, and hopefully found in company.

Until next time,

Roddy
