Our Classes
Community School of Natural Therapeutics (CSNT) is expanding its offerings and extending its reach! We are partnering with the School of Essential Natural Therapeutics (SENT) and The Kneipp School of Physiotherapy in Bad Worishofen, Germany to offer some exciting online and in-person training in Kneipp Hydrotherapy! Our in-person classes will now also have some North American spa venues in addition to Germany. And we are developing practice sites for folks to get together and practice the skills they learned at our trainings.
We have also purchased 9 beautiful acres, mostly wooded, in the Port Townsend, WA area, where we will offer both online and in-person herbal classes and mentorships. As we develop our herbal gardens we also hope to host composting and sustainable gardening classes.
Lastly, practicing these skills without a grounding in the philosophy, history and science of natural therapeutics will only go so far. Dr. Welliver will also be leading classes and providing mentorship in these subjects here and on her Patreon site Natural Therapeutics Matter <-> Energy.
Upcoming Kneipp Therapy Classes:
Our flagship classes are in Kneipp Therapy, the foundation for Western holistic therapies.
In 2024 we will be offering a Level 1 training at Murietta Hot Springs Resort in California from Monday June 24th-28th.
A Level 2 course is being developed to take place in late September 2024 (price and registration pending) in Bad Worishofen Germany. A requirement for that course is completion of Level 1. If you have taken previous CSNT Kneipp trainings in Germany the Level 1 requirement may be waived.
In addition, starting in July 2024, practice sessions will be held in the Port Townsend area with Dr. Welliver to make sure that those valuable skills are not lost.
The five elements of Kneipp therapy practiced together provide the most amazing results I’ve seen in over 30+ years of naturopathic practice. And the cool thing is, that no matter your profession, if you have a license to touch, your clients will benefit from Kneipp!
These courses are open to all practitioners, and may qualify for continuing education credits, depending on the professional requirements in your state, province or country. Please see individual class pages for more information.
