Courses  

Having done two of Grahame’s weekend courses as well as two one day workshops this year I can say that they are always fascinating, extremely informative and great fun. He really knows his stuff and a lot more besides and is more than happy to pass on his knowledge and expertise to beginners as well as more experienced dowsers. I had never done any dowsing before although always interested and am now hooked.
Highly recommended to anyone who has an interest in dowsing and Earth Energies.

NFSH The Healing Trust   
Dowsing workshops.  

I am glad I enrolled and completed three well designed training workshops with Grahame. The workshops were very well presented, great venue and with first class training resources. Great value for money. As well as Grahame being an expert dowser and trainer, we had a good eclectic group who brought their own expertise and knowledge to the proceedings.

 Geomantic Paradigms – Connecting Spirit with Landscape

Type: Talk
Duration: 1 hour
Requirements: PowerPoint
Grading: Beginner/intermediate

Presentation Outline: A geomantic worldview examining how we interact with Spirit and Landscape. What makes a place feel special to us? How can we communicate with the Spirit of Place?

This talk invites the listeners to question their environment and their interaction with it. By looking at the psycho-geography of the landscape surrounding us, it enables us to connect with the Spirit of Place at a personal level and communicate with the consciousness of the area.
The presentation includes several examples from Grahame’s own travels.

Working in the Spirit Realms – the Shamanic Universe

Type: Talk
Duration: 60-90 minutes
Requirements: PowerPoint
Grading: intermediate

Presentation outline: This presentation looks at the geopsychic and psycho-spiritual issues that the practising geomancer frequently has to deal with. We will study spiritual cosmology using the shamanic ‘world tree’ model of consciousness and look at how to traverse the paths within the tree and interact with the beings that inhabit the various realms. May include guided meditation to connect with spirit guides.

Feedback from ASD: “More interesting than I imagined”, “Great speaker”, “Very professional”, “What a great talk – I really learned a lot from you”.

Principles of Earth Healing – Dealing with Geopathic Stress

Type: Talk / workshop
Duration: 1 hour / half-day
Requirements: PowerPoint
Grading: Beginner/Intermediate

Presentation outline: The ‘bread and butter’ of the working geomancer is in healing geopathically-stressed buildings. But sometimes we are called on to balance energies in the wider landscape. This session will take a look at some of the historical research into geobiology and geopathic stress and the use of geomancy methods to enhance crop yields; it can be extended into a half-day workshop including practical demonstrations of earth acupuncture techniques and methods of empowering the land through dowsing and ceremony.

Geobiology and Technopathic Stress – the Hazards of EMFs

Type: Talk / workshop
Duration: 1-2 hours
Requirements: PowerPoint
Grading: Any

Presentation outline: In our gadget-hungry world we are exposed to unprecedented levels of electromagnetic radiation from increased use of electricity and wireless devices. More and more people suffer from electro hyper-sensitivity, which manifests with symptoms including forgetfulness, headaches, fatigue, irritability, tinnitus and depression. Grahame will outline some simple ways to control your exposure to maintain a technological lifestyle without getting sick. Extended workshop version uses dowsing to explore the effectiveness of various ‘widgets’ for combatting EMFs.

Feedback from ASD 2015: “Great”, “Extremely informative”, “Important research”.

Grids, Geometry, Geomancy and Gnosis

Type: Talk
Duration: 60-90 minutes
Requirements: PowerPoint
Grade:  Any

Presentation outline: What makes a place special? Why do these places seem to connect with each other? What do we mean by leys anyway? An ongoing investigation into the nature of geomancy and its relation with landscape. Includes Grahame’s recent research into Glasgow’s Network of Aligned Sites (discovered by local researcher Harry Bell in the 1980s)  and its connection with the city’s founding father, St. Mungo (Kentigern), whose remains are mysteriously absent from his tomb in Glasgow cathedral.

In the Footsteps of Kentigern

Type: Workshop
Duration: Full day
Grade: Any

An extension of the ‘Grids, Geometry, Geomancy and Gnosis’ talk, this is a site-specific walkabout in Glasgow centre that explores the legend of the city’s founding father, St. Mungo (Kentigern). Using dowsing, we trace the now-buried route of the Molendinar burn, visit the ancient Ladywell, dowse the nexus of earth energies on the Necropolis, and search for Kentigern’s remains in the crypt of Glasgow Cathedral.

The Cochno Stone and Glasgow’s Secret Geometry

Type: Talk
Duration: 1 hour
Grade: Any

A more in-depth exploration of Harry Bell’s Glasgow Network of Aligned Sites (introduced in the ‘Grids, Geometry, Geomancy and Gnosis’ talk), this talk covers some other areas of the network and discusses the 2016 excavation of the Cochno Stone, said to be the finest (and largest) example of prehistoric rock art in Europe. Does it really record a solar eclipse in Glasgow in 3000 BC, as renegade archaeologist Ludovic Mann claimed?

 Dowsing: Magick for the 21st Century

Type: Talk
Duration: 45-60 minutes
Requirements: PowerPoint
Grade: Any

Presentation outline: We compare definitions of dowsing with those of traditional Magick, look at some theory behind the dowsing response before investigating the nature of consciousness itself and asking, ‘what is the dowsing source? ‘How can we best apply intention?’
This talk can be linked to the Sigils workshop to make a practical session.

 Dowsing Magic – Symbols, Shapes and Sigils
Programming the Quantum Wave

Type: Talk / workshop
Duration: 60 – 90 minutes, half or full day.
Requirements: PowerPoint, Whiteboard. Participants need notepads, pendulums, pens and a Sharpie magic marker.
Grade: Any

Presentation outline: In this practical session we explore the power and impact of a range of symbols and shapes, both ancient and new, using dowsing to compare their effects on the human energy field. We will then learn how to encode our intention into the form of a sigil, which is used to create and activate a personal talisman on wooden discs that participants can take home. We’ll look at how to create them, some things that they can be used for, and how to activate them to achieve our goal. A sigil, used in magic for centuries, is a way of encoding your intention into a symbol – like a personal monogram. It is a graphical distillation of purpose that can be programmed as an ongoing emitting matrix, requiring no further consideration. Creating a sigil is the process of reducing your written intention to a more compact form. It’s the literary equivalent of reducing a cooking sauce over heat until it is thick and concentrated.

Feedback from ASD 2017: “Excellent presentation.  PowerPoint was well done and he gave us great tools too!” “Good presentation – fun, interesting – interactive!  I would love to learn more from him”, “F***ing brilliant and then some!  Content, delivery, group interaction.  Best of the conference.”

(At Least) 10 Ways to Space Clear Your Home

Type: Talk
Duration: 60-90 minutes
Requirements: PowerPoint
Grade:  Any

Space-clearing is an ancient practice found in many cultural traditions and seeks to balance and enhance the energies within our home and create within it a sanctuary that nurtures our spirit. Based on the premise that everything has consciousness, it allows us to talk to our home and establish a working relationship with it. In this fun and experiential workshop, we look at the development of space clearing techniques through the ages and explore several different techniques that we can use to harmonise our living space.

Leys – the Straight Story

Type: Talk
Duration: 60-90 minutes
Requirements: PowerPoint
Grade:  Any

Recent years have seen some exciting developments in earth energy research, with dowsers finding several new manifestations of Gaia’s energy field. Yet we still can’t agree on what to call a dowseable straight line of earth energy. In an attempt to provide some transatlantic perspective, Grahame shares some of his latest research into the ancient sites, leys, alignments, grids and dragon lines of the UK and beyond.

Seven Steps to Sacred Space – the Art of Temple Creation

Type: Workshop
Duration: Full day
Requirements: Presentation facilities, masking tape, enough floor area OR outdoor space (preferred) to create a moderately-sized circle or labyrinth.
Grading: Intermediate/Advanced

Presentation Outline: The Art of the geomancer is in the creation of sacred space. This workshop and presentation outlines the main principles of dowsing, sacred geometry and astronomical alignment that define such spaces, with plenty of examples from around the world, and provides practical instruction in creating your very own sacred space in your home.

Feedback from ASD 2017: “Wonderful workshop, tons of information”, “Grahame demonstrates mastery of this subject.  It has been a privilege to have the opportunity to hear him speak!” ”Exceeded my expectations.  Very helpful and useful”, “Grahame was a lot of fun, his enthusiasm is contagious.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

Walking the Path – the Magic of Labyrinths

Type: Talk / workshop
Duration 1-4 hours or full day
Requirements: Rope, stakes, line marking paint or other means of marking labyrinth
Grading: Any

Requirements: Presentation facilities, outdoor space (grass preferred)/ large indoor hall, materials to mark out labyrinth (paint, flour, lime powder etc.). Can be half-day (if labyrinth is pre-made) or full-day (including labyrinth construction). This workshop is often combined with ‘Fundamentals of Dowsing’ in a full-day configuration.

Outline: Labyrinths are powerful transformational and healing tools – they differ from a maze in that they have only one path to the goal, so you don’t have to think about where you are going, you simply allow yourself to follow the path. They can be used for meditation, prayer walks, problem solving and ceremony. Grahame has been working with and making labyrinths for many years, and is a wonderful guide to the mysteries of the Path. His recently discovered labyrinth dance Gardner’s Double Appleton will be the exciting conclusion to this fun day.
