Naturopathic Heritage Library
A contemplative wing of the Academy
A living inheritance
A quiet place for preserving writings, recordings, historical materials, clinical wisdom, botanical traditions, and the enduring lineage of naturopathic medicine.
Quiet Invitation
The Naturopathic Heritage Library is intended as a sanctuary for memory and a treasury of insight: not a storage room, but a living environment where inherited wisdom can be encountered with attention and care.
Begin with the twelve volumes of the Hevert Collection and four works by Francis Brinker, alongside the beginning of the Dr. Jim Sensenig Archive. Further writings, voices, and collections will join them over time.
