1) Detecting and Correcting Home and Workplace Geopathic Stress

For years now, dowsers have been warning people that they should not sleep over underground water streams. Recent discoveries have shown that there are many other energies emanating from the earth that can cause everything from sleep disturbances to cancer. Young children and young animals are particularly affected by detrimental earth energies.

Come and learn how to dowse for these earth energy fields. Identify electromagnetic energy from appliances, clock radios, electric motors, etc. which can deplete your immune system. Eliminate the harmful earth rays coming from the Hartmann gridlines, Curry lines, water veins, earth faults and other sources. Create healing vortexes around your home and other buildings. Learn to shield yourself, protect your family and pets, and remove life-threatening obstacles from your environment. A pendulum and a pair of L-rods will be supplied. Bring a sketch of your home, office or barn.

Gary Skillen, Ottawa, ON, past-president of the Canadian Society of Dowsers and an Honorary Life Member of CSD, has been dowsing earth energies for over 13 years. He devotes much of his time to the farming community and his special products for enhancing plant growth in an ecologically-friendly way. He has also researched and developed effective electrostress protection products. An international lecturer on the art of dowsing and alternative agriculture, he has been interviewed on national radio and television. He has recently trained as a hypnotherapist.

2) Being the Oracle in Your Own Life: Simple Strategies for Personal Growth

An experiential workshop for all who work in the holistic field or who are on their own holistic journey. Learn how to use several fun and wonder-filled techniques for personal soul growth. Improve the confidence in, and the accuracy of, any intuitive process. Working on the connection to your Self ultimately improves your dowsing skills.

Friday June 21 – 9:00 am to 4:30 pm

Dowse to Emotional Freedom with EFT(enrollment limited to 30)

"Energy Psychology" is the new frontier in psychology, with novel methodology based on a simple assumption from Traditional Chinese Medicine: "The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system." That means, if we correct the energy system disruption, we feel better. Kinesiology or dowsing techniques are used to assess energy disturbances in Energy Psychology, and "Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)". EFT is a popular set of simple techniques to effectively treat the emotional stress energetically.

In this interactive workshop, participants acquire and practice the Emotional Freedom Techniques.  EFT is a quick, effective acupressure-like treatment to correct energy disturbances in the body that underlie emotional and physical distress. Participants also learn four simple dowsing techniques to assess and track their responses to EFT. Stimulating, practical, theoretically sound, and entertaining, this presentation offers valuable new personal-care tools for dowsers and non-dowsers alike.

Barbara L. Mallory, Ph.D. is a Registered Psychologist in Parksville, BC and a former teacher of hearing impaired students in Ontario. Training in Healing and Therapeutic Touch led to Barbara's discovery in 1999 of "Energy Psychology". Recently, she realized her trusted energy assessment techniques were actually "dowsing" procedures. Barbara offers workshops in the Emotional Freedom Techniques and energy exercises for emotional health based on her book, Feeling Free! A Guide to the Energetics of Self-Care.



Monday June 24 – 9:00 am to 4:30 pm

Healing and the Power of the Focused Mind

This hands-on workshop starts out with a discussion of, and introduction to, the energies used during hands-on healing attempts. Harold will explain and demonstrate how, with the use of dowsing, to determine the condition of the body's energy/auric field, and how to correct, balance and energize deficient fields. Each student will receive a complimentary dowsing tool that they will learn to use. They will have hands-on practice in checking and correcting out-of-balance fields, and energizing weak or blocked chakras.

The group will learn techniques for sending healing energy over great distances. This is done in a meditative/visualization state. The class will be led in several healing meditations/visualizations on actual subjects. Harold has had many documented successes with this technique and will talk about several of these. Each member of the group will be introduced to their personal angels and will experience a group healing.
