The Embodied Path

A 3-Part Masterclass Series for Naturopathic Medical Students
With Dr. Marlene Hampton, ND 

There are some things we can’t learn from textbooks.
Some truths live in the body. Others, in the blood. And some—like rhythm, ritual, birth, and feminine power—require a different kind of remembering.

In response to your deep interest and the heartfelt questions raised after our NTP class together last winter, Moryel, Katya, and I organized a special 3-part masterclass series just for Bastyr students: The Embodied Path. 

These sessions are designed to nourish, awaken, and inspire the healer within you—not only as a future physician, but as a whole person walking the path of naturopathic medicine with integrity, intuition, and reverence for the feminine.

 What You’ll Receive

Each class offers ~60 minutes of teaching + ~30 minutes of open Q&A, weaving together clinical insights, lived wisdom, and the soul of naturopathic practice, based on the specific masterclass topics you asked for. You’ll walk away with practical tools, new perspectives, and a deeper connection to your path. All classes will be recorded, and hosted virtually over zoom.

Please note, registration for each class or the series is for the registering student ONLY. Registration cannot be shared, or else you are in violation of the terms and conditions.
