Ep 453: AHA conference 2026 - Virginia Turner & Sarah Kottmann

Planning a meaningful gathering for homeopaths takes both vision and heart, and Virginia Turner and Sarah Kottmann bring both to the upcoming 14th Australian Homeopathic Medicine Conference in Brisbane. They share what attendees can expect—from the venue and social events to keynote presentations by Ian Watson and Camilla Sherr, alongside 17 additional speakers. Our conversation also explores the value of networking, the exhibition space, and the sense of connection that these conferences create within the homeopathic community. Virginia and Sarah highlight special support for students and new graduates, including free membership and mentoring opportunities through the AHA. It’s a thoughtful look at how this conference aims to strengthen relationships, share knowledge, and support the future of homeopathy.
