BSD Training Programme 2012

How Do BSD Courses Make You Feel?...... On Top Of The World!

  • The BSD has pioneered this national dowsing training programme, designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the art and practice of dowsing in all areas of contemporary dowsing activity from absolute beginner to advanced practitioner level.

  • With over 75 years of accumulated knowledge about all forms of dowsing, the Society has an immense pool of expertise and experience to draw upon, which is constantly evolving and expanding to encompass current research and opinion.

  • The courses are arranged in such a way as to enable you to learn at your own pace, to reach the level you feel comfortable with. Some people attend one or two courses each year, some attend everything on offer!

  • BSD courses are led by our acclaimed and inspirational Registered Tutors, most of whom are members of our Professional Register. This means you are taught by dowsers with practical, current experience in their highly specialist fields of health, water divining, earth energies & environmental healing.

  • We firmly believe that with our system of dedicated tutor training and monitoring, our courses offer the most complete and carefully structured dowsing tuition in the world. Beware of imitations!


    While recognising there are many ways to learn dowsing, we are confident in our claim to take you from complete beginner to expert level in your chosen field. Dowsing responsibly, in a safe and suitable environment, at your own pace, BSD courses are the essential ingredient to help you complete your development into an accomplished dowser. Additional knowledge from Special Interest Groups enhance your skills to make a truly rounded and practised dowser, ready to share the knowledge you have gained with others.

     

    Don't just take our word for it... here's what our course delegates said:

    Fantastic course: so much information all given clearly, logically and interestingly. Really whets the appetite to go and keep learning and practising.


    One of the best courses I've attended in over 30 years, for interest, variety, depth, breadth, general information and extensive knowledge by tutor and the ability to interact so well with students.


    Full of well-delivered, clear, concise instructions with the possibility for personal self-expression built in.


    An inspiring and inspirational weekend. Raw enthusiasm from the tutor overcame my skepticism and extended personal boundaries.


    Course was delivered with panache and sensitivity. A fabulous group and a powerful weekend.

    A brilliant weekend. Enjoyable, interesting, exciting!

  • Historical and contemporary uses of dowsing for health
  • Practical considerations when dowsing for health
  • Applications for health dowsing
  • Ethics
  • Personal well – being
The new course then covers various other aspects including:
  • Exercises to relax and focus
  • In-depth methods to aid identification of areas needing treatment
  • Polarity
  • Allergies and toxins
  • Study of human energy field using deviceless dowsing

Further Information & Booking:

Call 01684 576969
or email info@britishdowsers.org

This course is aimed at established Complementary Therapists who are already using dowsing as part of their practice. The course will also appeal to other experienced health dowsers who are keen to further develop their techniques.

As is our established policy, members attending this course will preferably have attended a BSD Foundation Course (for beginners) and then the Introduction to Dowsing for Health Course. In the intervening periods we would expect members to have gained additional experience through practice of the subject. BSD understands that experience can be gained in other ways so we do try to be as flexible as possible when confirming suitability for advanced courses. However we need to ensure, as far as possible, that you as members are at the required standard so that you can fully benefit from the course. It is also important that the Tutor does not have to hold up the group's progress by having to provide additional coaching.
