FOUNDATION WORKSHOP | ADVANCED WORKSHOPS | GENERAL INFORMATION REGISTRATION | TESTIMONIALS

Do you want to play a more active role in your animal companion's health and wellbeing?

An extraordinary series of workshops for animal guardians that like to be proactive in their family's health. If you see the wisdom of promoting health and minimising the chances for injury and disease, then these workshops are just what you are looking for.

"Herbs for Animals" workshops are aimed at animal guardians interested in holistic healthcare and keeping their four-legged friends happy and healthy. These innovative workshops focus on the use of herbs to promote health and longevity, prevent disease and the first-aid treatment of minor illnesses or injuries.

Presented by Dr Jimmy Symmonds, a veterinarian based in Cape Town, the 1-day workshops promise something for everyone. The Foundation Workshop is the first in the series and provides a comprehensive introduction on how herbs can prevent disease and be used as first-aid remedies to treat minor injuries and upsets. With inspiring information, that is packed and fun-filled, the workshop promises to add a whole new dimension to your relationship with your animals. Each workshop is structured to include informative lectures, engaging discussions and fantastic, get-your-hands-dirty practical sessions. Highlights of the Foundation Workshop include making a first-aid herbal wound cream.

Those that are bitten by the herb-bug can then go on to do the Advanced Workshops. The Advanced Workshops consist of a series of four days spread over a four-month period. Each workshop focuses on a different aspect of the health of animals, namely mobility, digestion, skin and the mind-body connection.

If you are serious about the health of your animals, and if you are determined to thoroughly enjoy the journey, then this program is definitely for you! No previous experience with herbs is required, just a willingness to get your hands dirty and enjoy yourself.

Friendly and informal. Lots of information given, but made interesting by sampling a number of herbs. The note pack provided was perfect. One of the best I have been provided with on a training course. Thoroughly enjoyed making the wound cream, and it put into practice what we learnt today. Well planned and thought out. Nothing was forgotten. What a great day!
