The Winston Award was created in memory of Julian Winston (1941-2005), whose galvanizing vision for classical homeopathy shaped the character, reach, and quality of the National Center for Homeopathy during its formative times. Julian lived his commitment to the highest standards in his work as an author, engineer, designer, publisher, historian, antiquarian, and musician, and brought the same dedication to his passion for homeopathy and the National Center.
Beyond his formal service as a board member, Julian served the NCH Summer School as Registrar from 1981 through 1987 and as Dean from 1988 until 1992. As editor for almost two decades, he developed the NCH Newsletter into Homeopathy Today Magazine, positioning NCH for further growth. His energy and galvanizing vision helped establish NCH firmly as a dependable and inclusive organization to educate and advocate for Hahnemannian homeopathy.
From the video above, here are a few things the NCH shared about Dr. Rothenberg:
* Amy Rothenberg has been delighting readers of Homeopathy Today in nearly every issue since 1987. Her vivid stories seem to roll effortlessly off the page, drawing us in—while at the same time, teaching us whole-person homeopathy and important life lessons. With quickness and intelligence, warmth and compassion, she inspires and guides us on the path to vitality—offering wise and practical counsel from her 30+ years of naturopathic practice.
* In addition to being an ever-popular presenter at NCH and JAHC conferences, Amy taught a week-long course at NCH Summer School for many years—Homeopathy 102. And it was none other than Julian Winston, Dean of the Summer School at the time, who selected her for this position. Amy was well-loved by Julian and her students for her lively, smart, animated teaching—and for how she kept brains sharp with frequent class breaks for singing, stretching, and moving.
Here are some actual student comments over the years:
* Amy is dynamic, uses animated examples, and clearly loves to teach.
* Amy was fabulous. She possesses the rare ability to take complex materials and present them to beginning students in a way which opens mental doors rather than creating a confusing maze.
* Her ability and willingness to answer questions, use examples from real life. Her energy level was perfect to keep the class engaged. The singing was also very uplifting!
* Instructor is energetic, fun, enthusiastic, very experienced, knowledgable with a great personality. Subject matter could have been tedious but Amy broke it up with song, laughter, anecdotes, and stories.
“Amy, you have gone out of your way to serve the National Center for Homeopathy as a writer for many years AND the greater homeopathy community, especially in the realm of education. We are immensely grateful. All in all, it gives us great pleasure to notify you that you have been selected for the Julian Winston NCH Service Award.” – NCH Board President Lauri Grossman DC, CCH, RSHom(NA)
