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.
While we used to offer four quarterly chapter meetings per year, now we are collaborating with the Tucson Dowsing chapter and offering monthly educational 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 together such as dowsing for hidden chocolate and underground water.
All our events are announced in our newsletter “The Wellspring” and on this website, along with directions to the in-person meeting locations. Members are entitled to free admission at all of our gatherings and to receive the newsletter.
