PRESIDENT’S WELCOME

Welcome to the largest collection of dowsers in North America (and maybe
anywhere)! We are pleased and proud to have you here. Our staff,
convention committee and other volunteers have been working for months to
make this the very best convention possible. The facilities are great
and our speakers are second to none. Please take time to visit with the
many vendors and treat yourself in our Wellness Center.

Also, make sure you take the time to see some of the things that the New Paltz
and greater historical Catskill area has to offer. Try bowling nine pins in the
Catskill Mountains, see Sleepy Hollow, and re-explore Woodstock.

If you have any questions or issues, don’t hesitate to ask one of our volunteers,
staff, or Board of Trustees. We want you to get the very most
out of your time here.

As you look over the schedule, make a point of coming to our Members Meeting.
We have many opportunities and need a lot of talented people to help get things
done. This coming fall and winter, we elect our new representatives to the Board
of Trustees who will hold the reins of the organization for the next four years. We
need new and refreshing ideas to keep members interested and to attract new
members into the wonderful world of dowsing.

I am looking forward to working on some different projects this coming year. It
has been a great year so far and we have accomplished so much. I can hardly
wait to see what is coming next!

2018 CONVENTION COMMITTEE WELCOMES YOU
Welcome to the 58th Annual Convention of the American Society of Dowsers, and our first year at the
beautiful State University of New York at New Paltz. The Board of Trustees, Staff and the entire
Convention Committee welcome you and look forward to helping you “Determine Truth”. We have
strived to provide you with an interesting and varied array of workshops, speakers, vendors and
wellness practitioners.
We would not have been able to put this convention together without the amazing teamwork of Gale
West, Mark Hurwich, Matt Minor, LeeAnn Potter, Queenie Puryear, Sandra McKenzie, Sandi Isgro, Mo
Schwartz, Tick Gaudreau, Barb Guzik, Sandi Ruelke and Annette Weis. We are greatly indebted to our
team for their skills, patience, time and positive energies throughout the months of planning.
Each year we have the interesting challenge of selecting the right workshops and speakers from those
that have applied, for those that will be attending, and then it is up to you to be at the right place at
the right time. We do read your evaluations each year to give us guidance for the next year, so you
really do have a part in selecting what we offer at the following year’s convention. We thank you for
doing your part to make each convention better than the previous one.
We are honored that White Eagle will provide the opening and closing ceremonies. David Young, a
twice Grammy Nominated musician, is returning to entertain us at our gatherings. This year the
classrooms, vendors and wellness center are all in one building, easily accessible by elevator, or you
can get your exercise by using the stairs. Also, don’t forget to bring your water bottles and refill them
at the stations throughout the campus, as this is a green campus and no water will be sold. The ASD
Bookstore will offer more books this year, and will also offer book signing by some of our published
authors. Be sure to get your signed copies!
The Wellness Center is back with the same and several new great offerings. Treat yourself to better
overall health and support your organization at the same time.
Your convention committee co-chairs,
Suzanne Schwartz and Sheila Williams

YOGA with Dorothy Kerzner and MEDITATION with Roxanne Louise

A wonderful way to wake up and start your day! In Dorothy’s Yoga sessions, you start with protection
and warm-ups and continue with Yoga asana, breathing and relaxation. This may be your first
experience or your 100th and both Dorothy and Roxanne have the ability to tailor their sessions to the
participants so everyone's level is included. Roxanne's meditations start with a short breathing routine,
followed by an intention to connect to your Higher Self for centering and balance, release unnecessary
stress, and heal what you need to heal. Part will be guided and some time will be provided for your
own individual work.
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, June 15-17
We have created a special 7-circuit Labyrinth for attendees to walk for health and healing.
You are welcome to walk it at any time during the conference and experience the
energy present for you. A Labyrinth creates sacred space where you can connect to the Divine in your
meditative walk.

If you have never walked a Labyrinth before here are a few items to remember to receive the most
benefit:
1. At the entrance before you begin your journey take a deep breath, center yourself,
and then think about what you need help with (ask the Divine for help?).
2. Begin your walk on the path and trust that you will reach the center.
3. If you feel the need to stop on the path turn side wise so other walkers can pass you.
4. When you reach the center Release your worries/problem to the Divine.
5. Turn and follow the path out. When you exit the Labyrinth turn and give Thanks
for all you will receive.
Many Blessings to you.
Outside (weather permitting), 12:30, June 17

LECTURE CENTER 100

Quantum Dowsing
(Encoding the Mystery of Dowsing)
Dowsing, however not treated on a professional level by most people, has existed and supported
humanity for millennia. Prophets, sages, wizards and witches in the past, and nowadays
scientists and business people use dowsing to resolve and improve their affairs.

Let’s take a trip into the core of the human psyche and modern discoveries to properly
understand why it is crucial for people to dowse.

Some of the topics of Alicja’s presentation will include:
- What is Dowsing from Physics and Meta-physics point of view
- Meditation vs. Contemplation and what they have in common with Dowsing
- Nature and Natural Laws in respect to Dowsing
- Colors and Vibrations in relation to human anatomy
- The role of Negative Green in Dowsing
- Remote Viewing and Dowsing
- The relevance of Zero-point Energy to Dowsing.

In this very visual presentation we will examine the phenomena of dowsing from many points of
view to re-discover the importance of this oldest divination modality.

Alicja will change your life forever. Environmental Engineer by education, Metaphysics by passion, she
researches Sacred Geometry shapes and their application in our life to help people reach higher level of their
awareness. She travels internationally to teach and consult. Her teaching is based on Ancient Egyptian School of
Vibrations and Classic European School of Dowsing. Alicja holds the title of Doctor of Metaphysics.

“Dowsing changed my life and the lives of my loved ones.”
Your instructors will share their knowledge of the art and science of dowsing so that you
can fully participate in this ancient means of knowing. Many of us dowse to find lost
objects, keys, pets, and other personal items. Some of us are also called upon to dowse
for water, oil, and minerals. We use dowsing to get answers to “yes and no” questions, to
help us navigate our future and to make decisions.

The goal of this class is for you to learn the “Foundation” of dowsing and give you the
hands on practice you need so that dowsing becomes a part of you.

Course materials will be included. Your kit will include: pendulum, Y-Rod, L-Rod,
Bobber, and the Foundation Course Manual (which contains a wealth of information
about dowsing).

You will learn: 1. How to use the four basic dowsing tools included in your kit 2. To
properly prepare yourself to dowse 3. How to ask valid questions to receive answers You
will be coached by seasoned dowsers in small groups and given individualized attention.
We will answer your questions, share a few dowsing stories, laughs, and experiences.
Finally, at the end of a fun and fast paced learning day when the course is completed, you
will have the skills, knowledge, basic tools, and confidence you will need to commence
your dowsing journey and further studies.

At the conclusion of the course you will receive a certificate as a reminder of your
achievements. As an additional benefit of being a member of ASD, you will have access
to monthly meeting calls where you can ask questions and learn from other dowsers
about a wide variety of subjects. *Note: Course materials included in fee.
