Dear All,
Originally planned to be held in Istanbul, this year's AGM was held online again due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic.
Firstly, I would like to congratulate Dr. Gabriele Knafl from Austria on achieving IAVH teacher certificate. I wish Dr. Knafl success in all her future homeopathic projects.
It has been another a long and weird year. The most difficult thing this year has been to accept that we still cannot meet and be in contact directly. The pandemic altered our ability to engage with friends, colleagues and we are often worrying about losing touch with people we used to see in person. In such situations, feelings of isolation may take over easily.
The biggest challenge the IAVH faces is reuniting our members, therefore the focus of this year AGM was education and communication. The Board considers more

President, IAHVH
active communication among members can be achieved by offering online lectures and online conferences. Also the Mag, a newsletter, the IAVH webpage, the IAVH Forum and social media are important in our mutual communication and connections with the public.
Stefan Kohlrausch already offers a Supervision Zoom meeting every second Monday (19.30 Madrid time zone), which can be used to discuss the difficulties we face during homeopathic treatment. This could include the owner/animal and veterinary surgeon relationship and case management. If you are interested in participating just send an email to info@petvetclinic.org to obtain the zoom link.
Discussions were started on creating a professional newsletter and optimizing the mag, as well as organization an online conference by IAVH. We will be continuing discussion between the board members with the aim of finding a resolution of this in future meetings.
The IAVH are going to participating in the online Colloquium in Classical Homeopathy via LMHI. Colloquium will held from 10th to 12th of December 2021. One of the Colloquium themes is “Improving education practice and research”. The IAVH is going to participate with a theme presented by Edward De Beukelaer collected from IAVH members’ thoughts to make compiled presentation on topic "Challenges of Veterinary Homeopathic Medicine “.
During the AGM, the IAVH board paid tribute to Dr. Jacques Millemann, long-time IAVH member, teacher, friend and supporter. We remember Jacques as a sincere, heart-wise colleague, who made a tremendous contribution to the veterinary homeopathic community. In remembrance of Jacques Millemann, Edward De Beukelaer proposed an award to those people, who contribute the most for further development of the MMHV. Guidelines will be proposed. To find more about Dr. Jacques Millemans lifelong work – MMHV – please visit the IAVH homepage.
In the end I would like to say:
We may be afraid that something will be taken away from us
But everything is in parables.
Each choice has its own price.
If it is important for you to be an observer, it will cost you. If it is important for you to be a fighter, it will also cost you. And we need to understand, assess and be aware of all the
possible risks.
Peace in your heart or a loud alarm in your head will tell
you what is right or wrong for you.
This time is a great test for everyone. It is also the
opportunity to get rid of fear, as well as the ability to maintain humanity and sincerity and being able to return to yourself in the depths of your heart.
