(1960 -     )

Dr. Douglas Falkner is a Certified Master Homeopath. For his training he worked with, studied extensively, and completed courses and seminars with Paul Herscu, Lou Klein, Vega Rozenberg Jan Scholten, Vassilis Ghegas, Rajan Sankaran, and others. As a trained Emergency Physician, and an instructor for hospital-based Clinical Emergency Medicine, Dr. Falkner brings a broad conventional medical background as well to his understanding of health and disease.

Dr. Falkner started his first homeopathic training program in 2004, and founded the Polaris Institute in 2009 to expand his training of homeopathic practitioners. He maintains a world-wide client base, while continuing to expand his teaching activities. He currently resides with his family in Oregon's Siskiyou Mountains.

A gifted teacher and healer, he combines conventional medical knowledge with a deep intrinsic grasp of the energetic and spiritual principles connected with successful homeopathic treatment.

Dr. Falkner's unique approach, Homeopathy Through Simplicity: Refining Your Inner Guidance System, arose out of the expressed frustrations of so many students, concerning today's seemingly endless variety of "systems" and sometimes contradictory teachings.

In Homeopathy Through Simplicity the fundamentals of Materia Medica and Repertory, of case-taking and case-analysis, are introduced and integrated with foundational homeopathic principles and philosophy through a dynamic and interactive teaching style, classical texts, live cases, stories, humor, fun exercises and enriching discussion of the students' own lives and personal challenges.

Homeopathy Through Simplicity distills the essential information and tools needed for competence, while balancing homeopathic knowledge with one's own inner guidance. The goal is to develop our innate capacity for clear, pure, balanced, objective seeing, what Hahnemann called 'impartial or unprejudiced observation'.

In learning to activate the capacity for unprejudiced observation, we become the central and most powerful tool in our work as homeopaths.

Mastery of this most basic faculty, combined with an understanding of the fundamental homeopathic principles and knowledge as taught by this approach, reliably leads to consistently effective prescribing, and makes the practice of our healing art simple, joyful, satisfying, and easily accessible.
