Appalachian Dowsers

We are the Appalachian Chapter of the American Society of Dowsers (ASD), a regional dowsing group serving Western North Carolina and the South Carolina upstate area.

The American Society of Dowsers (ASD) was chartered in 1961 to  conduct education about dowsing and intuition development.  The Appalachian Chapter was chartered in 1981 to promote the local practice of dowsing in Western North Carolina and the Upstate.  Since then, it has regularly conducted public lectures and training classes covering the broad scope of dowsing techniques.

We warmly welcome new members and those people who wish to learn more about the fascinating art and science of Dowsing. You don’t have to know how to dowse to become a member; our popular classes can take you from enthusiastic beginner right through to professional level.   [continued below]

Until the pandemic, we offered four quarterly chapter meetings. Now we collaborate with the Tucson Dowsing chapter who arranges monthly presentations via Zoom on the first Saturday of the month, from 4:30 – 6pm EST. We also hold local seasonal gatherings and summer Social Picnics that include basic dowsing training and fun ways to practice dowsing.

Veda Austin

“The Living Language of Water”

Join Veda Austin for a fascinating exploration into the emerging field of water memory and the discovery of hydroglyphs—a repeatable symbolic language revealed through plasmatic water. Drawing on over sixteen years of research, Veda will share remarkable crystallographic images, her decoding process, and what these recurring symbols may reveal about language, consciousness, nature, and the hidden intelligence of water. This thought-provoking presentation invites audiences to see water—and perhaps reality itself—from an entirely new perspective.

Bio – Veda Austin is a water researcher, public speaker, artist, author, and mother who has spent the past 15 years exploring water’s structural memory and responsiveness. She has pioneered a unique crystallographic method that visually captures water’s reactions to stimuli, revealing its awareness of thought, intention, and creation through imagery. Veda believes that water is fluid intelligence, observing itself through every living organism on the planet and in the universe. Her primary focus is photographing water in its ‘state of creation’—the space between liquid and ice—where it expresses a profound and dynamic language. Through her research, public talks, and published works, she challenges conventional perspectives, inspiring a deeper understanding of water as an intelligent and communicative force.
