Dear Marina,
Once more, what a wonderful Congress, incredible organization, warmful ambience!!
You have set a milestone.
It's sure the fruits will come, for all you, all us and Homeopathy.
With love,
Dr. Anna Pla i Castellsagué, Spain
Dear Marina,
thank you very much once again for your magnificent European Congress. Having attended
Liga Congresses since 1991, for me (as to many others) it was the congress with the most family feeling of all. I am especially happy for you, because I think I know how much you had to struggle to make this dream come true. It is and will always remain a good example making hope a providing confidence that good things break their way irrespective of all the obstacles as long as there is a strong will and conviction of a valuable and beneficient mission. You and your Congress will forever be an important part of the world history of homeopathy. Gratulations!
Dr. Josef M Schmidt, Germany
Dear Marina
You can always count on me and it is never too much. I recognize in you the true idealism and working spirit I would like to see worldwide, so for me, I would support such person anytime
as we are on the same page!
Much love!
Dr Luc
Dear Marina
First of all thank you for the good work you did even after the congress with the nice video clips you did. I got myself very good feedback from many and I am sure it will come further…
Marina, organizing such congress is a tour de force we say in France and you did an excellent job!
Much love
Luc

Dear Marina: I arrived exhausted, 24 hours after leaving Latvia. My soul is still not here. Now everything seems like a dream, it passed so quickly! I hope you have rested a little bit and recollected your memories of your beautiful creation: 1st European congress in Latvia. I send you a big hug and love Anna
Dr.Liliana Szabó, member of Scientific Committee of European Congress of Homeopathy, Argentina
Dear Marina,
From my point-of-view it was a great success! I am very glad and proud that our Congress was such a success. I got many positive feedbacks - even from Dr. Resch, which I appreciated very much. Thank you again for your acknowledgment of my part of the Congress.
I hope your Congress-Afterwork will soon be finished and you will have opportunity to come back to a more "normal time-schedule" of your life. I think you will need it.
Dr.Reinhard Flick, Head of Scientific Committee of European Congress of Homeopathy, Austria
Dear Marina,
I want to thank you again for the perfect and successful organisation of the congress. It wasn´t only the perfect organisation, this congress was so much familiar and warm. I visited different international congresses before, but the atmosphere in Riga was very exeptional. The scientific programm and the leisure-time activities were very well balanced.
For me, this congress was an new experience, and I want to thank you, that I could made my job. I hope, that this congress will push homeopathy in the baltic countries.
Dr.Bernhard Zauner, Member of the Scientific Committee, Austria
Dear Marina,
we would like to thank you for the very successfull Congress and for all the positive energy we have brought home from the Congress and your city. Let us share our impressions with you. First of all we enjoyed the atmosphere created by you, by your warm welcome speech and your "guidance" all over the Congress. The topics seemed to have been chosen very thoughfully so everybody could find plenty of inspiration. We appreciate that the lectures were clinically oriented! As for the theme of the Congress - we had the feeling that there are no more gaps between East and West, both have plenty to bring, to share and to learn from the other side. That is the only way homeopathy could have a future on this Earth. The organisation of the Congress was outstanding we would like to thank you and your team for the effort.
We would like to wish much success to you and your work and to the Baltic Homeopathic Union
in the future!”

Dear Marina,
Just like my colleague Eva has written, the congress in Riga was purely amazing. For me it had yet another dimension – personal and professional. Your last talk was just breathtaking to me. I have completely resonated with your thoughts. Both polarities of homeopathy were present, which I consider equaly important:
- The pragmatic one, deep understanding of the disease with respect to causes corresponding to present medical knowledge
- And the spiritual one, since the homeopathic remedy can truly “dissolve” the destructive human emotions
I try, like you, to teach homeopathy to students this way. There is truly a story behind every illness. Important is the understanding of the complex process and finding the causal root, which (as even Hahnemann wrote) is not of the material substance.
I think that people from the East, who have experienced the suppresion of spiritual evolution, can better understand this principle and it is important to pass on this message.
I would also very much like to introduce your initiative MEDICAL HOMEOPATIC UNIVERSITY PROJECT to the members of the HLA board. I would very much appreciate our active cooperation in the future.
The content and the course of the conference was excellent and it was clearly also due to your personality. I admire your organizational skills, deep knowledge of homeopathy as well as your charm. This all contributed to the fact, that the congress was truly a tribute to homeopathy, not just only a set of lectures.
With sincere regards,
Dr.Hana Váňová, president of HLA, Czech Republik
Dear Marina,
Thank you very, very much for the invitation and this great congress! It was a pleasure to meet
all these interesting people and talk about homeopathy. The organisation - everything - was just perfect!
Dr.Christian Lucae, Germany
Dear Marina,
Thanks for your kind attention and congratulations for the splendid congress that you have offered Hahnemann, Homeopathy and all of us.
We are all very proud of you.
Best wishes. Thanks.
Congratulations, you are great.
Dr.Matheus Marim, Brazil
Dear Marina,
I am also thinking with good impressions, back to the wonderful days in Riga.
In Vilnius (after-congress trip) I had the opportunity to play the cathedral-organ - great, smaller size than in Riga but in best condition!!!
Inspiration - as you said this - it is important to promote homeopathy at university etc.
Hopefully persons like you bring our students to learn.

Marina the conference was for me beyond any expectation. I believe that the spirit of homeopathy was in mood. I am so happy I jointed this event and met so many dedicated doctors not to mention the quality of lectures... I believe your contribution to this success was the secret. My best regards from Athens
DDs. Michail Michalakis, Greece
Dear Marina,
It was a great pleasure to me and my wife to be in Riga: the congress was wonderfully organised. You have done a great work together with the organisers.
I wish to you and your team for your future projects God blessing.
Warmly
Dr. Dario Spinedi, Switzerland
Dear Dr. Marina,
The congress in Riga was not the greatest, the best, the worst, the highest, the lowest but it was a congress with a quality of its own: harmonic, sympathetic, full of mutual confidence and the charisma of something very important and new, a flower to blossom out. Thank you very much, for all your efforts.
I wish you the warmth of the sun inside and outside.
Love
Dr. Herbert Pfeiffer, Germany
Dear Dr Marina,
Let me at the outset, congratulate you for the excellent congress and a wonderful organization. You have really excelled yourself in putting together a wonderful program and I could truly see a lot of your personal touch in every aspect and event, and it is really not an easy task. I wonder how you could really put in so much, considering the fact that you are an excellent academician, a very committed social worker, an elegant socialite, a very professional organizer, a connoisseur of music with an eye aesthetics always, you are really a lady of very many talents and accomplishments, one really cannot stop admiring you. I must also commend you for putting together a good team and teamwork, you colleagues on the event management, Ms Elina and Ms Galina were very warm, welcoming and efficient in their job. Please convey my best wishes to them.
I have also thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Riga, it simply caught me by surprise and wonder by it natural beauty, its tradition and culture. I had an opportunity to visit the old city and its ambience was enthralling and rather romantic too, I must admit. The weather was very conducive and bright too. I could also enjoy the warmth of the locals too besides of course meeting all the old and new friends from our homoeopathic fraternity.
Wish you all the best and success for your future endeavors and looking forward to see you in New Delhi.
Thank you once again for all the good times and warm hospitality at Riga.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Srinivasa Rao, India
The main impression from the Congress - is a unique feeling of well-coordinated work of a large team of associates - people understanding each other as if they grew up in one family, even though they came to Riga from around the world.
We were struck by the warmth and generosity with which speakers shared their professional skill and by enthusiasm and gratefullness of the audience that absorbed this experience.
The program was interesting and for novice homeopath, and for experienced doctors. It was so interesting that we had desire to "embrace", to hear everything. But unfortunately to attend all the lectures at once in 3 rooms was impossible...
Homeopathy as a science was represented in all aspects, both in historical and the philosophical and researches, and in modern clinical practice.
And yet it seemed that the future of whole homeopathy has been determined at the European Congress of Homeopathy in Riga
Dr. Veronika Yegorova, Dr. Tatyana Bodnare, Latvia
Dear Marina!
We thank you very much for your congress in Riga and our possibility to show the suggestopedia. It was a wonderful meeting with a lot of a meeting with many friends from all over the world. Gratulation! I was very impressed, how you managed the congress.
After the English part of our seminar with only a few participants, we never had such a large group (54) of interesting participants in the second, russian part! We were astonished and very happy who they were engaged in participating, playing, making poems and so on.
Again thank you very much, have a nice time and enjoy your successful congress you have organizied!

Dear organizers of the congress
I would like to thank you for your tremendous work, for your courage to organize such event.
Congress was great, I was glad to meet and listen to the doctors, whose books I read. Some lectures were helpful for our daily work.
I will wait for new invitations to other seminars.
Respectively,
Dr.Vaidilute Zakarauskiene, Lithuania
We liked the whole program very much, excellent speakers, good audience. Many thanks to the organizers and especially to Mrs. Marina Afanasyeva.
Dr.Nele Tocionyte, Dr.Elena Ziugzlienė, Lithuania
The congress had been very well organised in terms of time management and there were many excellent speakers. The venue & food were also memorable.
Just one comment re the lack of homeopathic content of some presentations e.g the one on Allergies. There was lots of medical science. It would have been preferable that there was a summary & analysis of the common remedies that worked well. & the ones that do not in such a big clinic miasmatic and constitutional remedies would be most welcome.
The tennis tournament would have been more enjoyable if we were to play among ourselves, to further improve our social rapport. The lunch was healthy& excellent to justify a higher fee.
Overall It had been an enjoyable experience for me.
Dr Charles Lee, MD & Homeopath, Australia
Dear Marina

Dear Dr. Marina,
Congratulations for the excellent organization of the congress. The speakers were very well in their presentations and the topics were very interesting. It was worth it to have traveled from Portugal. I'm waiting for the second congress :)
I would love to know about the advances in MHU project. It is most important for us in Portugal being updated because homeopathy is taking its first steps here... We have a lot of work to do here and this kind of congress is an inspiration for me to make something better for Homeopathy in my country.
