VEDA AUSTIN
The Idea of Intelligent Water
Veda is a water researcher, public speaker, mother, artist and author who lives in New Zealand. She has spent nearly a decade observing and photographing the life of water. Veda uses influences such as words, thoughts, pictures or music, before freezing water and then capturing the resulting liquid crystal response minutes later. After taking many thousands of remarkable photographs, she believes that water has an intelligence and responds not only to consciousness, but also to the environment. She believes that water does not just conform to consciousness, but that it is really communicating with us. If you wish to find out more, look out for her recent book “The Secret Intelligence of Water: Macroscopic Evidence of Water Responding to Human Consciousness”.
Her talk “The idea of intelligent water“ will introduce us to her work and conclusions.
VICKY SWEETLOVE
We are all “earth keepers” of our homes and land
Vicky in her talk will take you through the connections we can all have as being “Earth Keepers” in our homes and on the land we live. She has been working as a professional dowser/geomancer for over 28 years working and consulting with healing and harmonising the geopathic stress energies of peoples homes, offices and the land, space clearing and traditional feng shui. She also teaches Dowsing and Space Clearing and Earth Energy Practitioner courses as well as Feng Shui Practitioner Courses.
In this talk Vicky will explore the different types of energies in and around your home, how the elementals, spirit of place and mother earth, show you the signs and synchronicities that are quite often missed. These are being shown to you, in your everyday life but as your mind is no longer “seeing, sensing or hearing” the messages from the energies of the other realms that we live with daily, then you are missing the vital messages to live in harmony with mother earth and the land we live on as technology has affected our connection to these realms. When we listen and take notice of the messages we are given then we can live in harmony with our homes, the land and the environment. The small actions that we take in our homes, to make changes that are in harmony with all the “beings” that are in our surroundings then it can act as a butterfly effect that can vibrate around the world and these small actions can then draw on the universal consciousness around the world.
Vicky will also show you the “magical” signs and synchronicities she has received since she was a young girl. She now shares the messages she receives with her clients, and for her own home and the solutions she has been provided with and how we can implement these into our own lives.
PAUL SYRETT
Energy – the power of thought and consciousness
Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius wrote: “A man’s life is what his thoughts make of it.”
Wayne Dyer said “you create your thoughts, your thoughts create your intentions and your intentions create your reality.” We are increasingly familiar with the idea that we can influence outcomes with our thoughts and that those thoughts and the reality that they create, are interconnected. During this talk we will explore the interconnectedness of all things through energy and consciousness and how this can influence you and your surroundings. Paul will explore the factors which contribute to peace and harmony or chaos and disharmony and share his experiences of helping people bring balance and harmony to their homes and businesses and how dowsing can be used to bring clarity and understanding. With a long career in IT behind him, Paul’s change of direction initially came in 2009 due to significant health issues caused by Swine Flu from which it was thought he may not recover. In 2012, a rapid spiritual awakening led him to understand the world very differently. He is an intuitive healer and dowser who has trained in a variety of healing modalities. He also specialises in earth energy work, house and land balancing along with passing on his knowledge and experiences to help others with their own spiritual journeys.
AMY MURPHY-WATTS
Connecting to Mother Nature’s power through flower essences and dowsing
Amy has been making flower essences for 12 years through Nature’s Wish. Through dowsing she intuitively selects the essences and communicates with the plants and trees. Amy was introduced to essences on the same day that a friend showed her how to pendulum dowse, since then the two processes have become inseparable and are an integral part of the essence making process.
In her talk Amy will be sharing her extensive knowledge of essences and their energetic qualities. Explaining how they can release the energetic ties that bind you, allowing you to be free, who you are meant to be. She will be demonstrating how dowsing can be used for this.
In her 12 years of being an essence producer, Amy has created a range of essences now sold globally and has also developed them into energy sprays and wellbeing products. Amy’s mission is to spread the word about flower essences and the powerful way in which they bring you back to yourself, to your soul path, to allow yourself to be the best that you can be. Nature’s power harnessed in a bottle.
GEORGE MACKENZIE
Creating the Conditions for Healing to Occur
Healing is a natural process. The body wants to heal. George helps as a catalyst to initiate his clients to attain, maintain and retain the natural healing vibration. He uses a simple 2 method process to create healing for both people and horses.
Through the dowsing process and his knowledge of Bioenergy healing he has skilfully merged the two arts and creates an in depth subtle vibrational analysis of his clients, which gives a clear reason behind the symptoms, potential for recovery and a step by step approach to resolution.
In doing so he takes the emphasis off traditional diagnosis and subsequent treatment but seeks to understand his clients issues through understanding vital vibrational aspects exhibited by them.
Through his practice of remote vibrational dowsing and Bioenergy Healing, a hands off healing art he seeks to help the client establish a knew level of health by being a catalyst to acknowledge their present problem and then establish a more nourishing vibration where healing occurs as a natural consequence.
His 25 year experience has seen him witness some remarkable and immediate transformations for his clients, travelling around the UK to share this experience.
Once we understand a symptom is merely a vibrational aspect then resolution becomes possible and with use of both techniques very probable. The body responds to the correct information with immediate effect. The healing process occurs in relation to the symptoms exhibited and the clients improved mind set.

details of our Sunday walks and workshops:
Walk 1 – RICHARD
BRYANT – Geology and Dowsing on the Malvern Hills – Magnificent
Views
Meeting Sunday morning
at The Geo Café, at The Wyche Innovation Centre (the home of The BSD
office). This two-hour walk will present an opportunity to learn
something in the field about the basic geology of the Malvern Hills. These
exhibit igneous and metamorphic rocks nearly 700 million years old, as well as
limestones, shales and sandstones which have a variety of water-bearing
characteristics. We will include a traverse of a short section of the Malvern
ridge and from there take in the magnificent views of the surrounding areas of
both Worcestershire and Herefordshire. There will also be an opportunity for
some dowsing practice on the lower slopes. Please note: This walk
takes a route up onto the top of the hills. You are rewarded with amazing
views but there are steps, and up hill paths with uneven surfaces.
Walking footwear is recommended plus water proofs in case of bad
weather. There will be limited number of places to ensure the group can
all be involved. Please bring your dowsing tools if you wish to participate in
dowsing.
Walk 2 – KATE SMART
– A tour of some of the therapeutic and magical wells and springs in
central Malvern
Celebrating the
abundance of water has been a tradition for thousands of years all over the
world. People have built shrines to mark these sacred sites and decorated them
giving thanks for these magical places. In Malvern some of the springs and
wells have been dressed regularly since the 12th century and many have a
reputation for being therapeutic because of their medicinal or spiritual
qualities. There are around 200 fabled freshwater springs along the Malvern
Hills but as dowsers visiting the hills regularly we sense there are likely
many more. On this tour of several of these sacred sites you’ll be introduced
to some of the history, culture and myth of water in these ancient Hills.
This tour is a steep
climb up the Hills. Stout shoes/boots are recommended plus water proofs just in
case the weather isn’t kind to us. There will be limited number of places on
this tour due to the physical confines of some of the springs and wells. Don’t
forget your dowsing tools, of course.
PAUL SYRETT –
Causative and Witness Dowsing Workshop
In this workshop, we
will explore the skill of dowsing utilising charts, “witnesses”, maps and
photographs. The workshop aims to expand your knowledge and enhance your skills
in this area. Causative dowsing, using simple charts and checklists, can
help you to connect with your own body, or that of someone else, to uncover
valuable information such as food intolerances or allergies or other underlying
illnesses or health conditions. We will operate in groups of 2 to see what we
can unveil between us.
Witness dowsing uses a
facsimile as a reference point to identify the location of the original item.
In the past this was a key component of discovering oil in the South West of
America! We will have a number of exercises that you can do in groups or on
your own to test and improve your dowsing skills.
GEORGE MACKENZIE
– 8 step system to initiate the healing response in remote clients
This simple protocol
is something any dowser can learn which can be used to positively influence
healing of not only animals but of friends and family too.
Once we understand a
symptom, illness or disease is merely a by- product of a vibration contained
within the body then knowing how we can influence such even with people or pets
far away from us is an art that anyone can learn.
In this workshop he’ll
share his 8 step system to initiate the healing response in remote clients, no
previous healing ability is required but an open mind and willingness to try,
using the pendulum as a creative tool rather than investigative one.
Learning to accurately
detect vibration, what these signify and how we can alter them for the benefit
of others is what attendees will discover
GUY HUDSON – Electro
Smog: How to spot it. How to fix it. (Bring your own device and
try it).
Because of our
knowingly-cultivated sensitivity, dowsers may be more susceptible, not just to
food allergies and chemicals, but to EMFs and electro-smog too. In this
workshops Guy Hudson shares how to spot it and how to fix it.
PETER TAYLOR
– Using Fibonacci Numbers to identify Power Points in the land to help
heal the human body.
Peter will be giving a
practical demonstration on how he uses the numbers of the Fibonacci Code to
find the location of Power Points in the land. This is following on from a
video presentation on the theory of the Fibonacci Codes that all participants
of the workshop will receive prior to attending.
AMY MURPHY-WATTS
– How to release energy blocks and resistance
Amy will be showing us
how she works with the body, to find energy blocks and resistance. She will
demonstrate how to release this using dowsing and essences. There will be
meditation and working on your own energies to release and allow the energy
to flow.
MALVERN SPA
ASSOCIATION
The History of Malvern
Water
We will be joined
Sunday afternoon by Malvern Spa Association for a presentation on the history
on Malvern Water. The Malvern Hills are blessed with an abundance of natural
springs, and water has played an important role in the area for millennia.
Malvern Spa Association (‘the MSA’) was formed on 18th September 1998, with the
aim of “working with the community to conserve, protect, restore and enhance
Malvern’s spring water heritage”.
Priory Park Drinking
Water Fountain Project
Many people in the
local area still collect the water from the Hills for their only supply of
drinking water. Following the MSA presentation, we will be taking part in
an important afternoon project to help find the location for a new drinking
water fountain in Priory Park. This dowsing opportunity is open to both
experienced dowsers and for those who have never dowsed before. We will
have tutors available to guide you and help us locate the best location for the
new fountain.
