The Dorset Dowsers, Dorset's longest running Dowsing group, have been in existence for over 20 years. They are affiliated to the British Society of Dowsers. At many of their meetings, they have talks on a wide range of subjects associated with dowsing, and in the summer, members can enjoy "on-site" practical visits to historical sites in the region. In Dorset, we are fortunate that the county has such a bountiful supply of ancient sites such as standing stones, stone circles, barrows, hill forts, ruins, etc. for members to expand their skills and knowledge.
Our members and visitors range from the total novice to the experienced dowser and researcher.
Our meetings are held at: The United Reformed Church Hall, Church Street, Wareham, BH20 4HH. The hall opens at 7.30, with tuition available until the talk begins at 8.00 pm. The car park for Sainsbury's is opposite the hall
There is a charge of £4.00 per meeting (inc refreshments) or you can pay an annual membership fee of £14.00 (which also entitles attendance at the on-site visits)

Practical dowsing for healthy pets with Dave Smith
Dave owns and runs "Healthy Pets" in Blandford. He often helps animals that suffer from a variety of ailments particularly skin, digestive and hyperactivity problems. He looks at what they are eating, combined with their ailment, then finds a dietary solution, involving foods which are free, as far as possible, from colourings and additives.
Dave uses pendulum dowsing to find dietary solutions. This involves moving the pendulum over the animal's fur, and depending on how it moves, he matches the animal's fur to the foods or remedies in front of him.
