Members with Special Interests

We are very lucky at S.H.D. to have a number of members who are well versed (or even experts ) in some area of special interest. John Moss with his healing practice, Fiona Hopes who designs and builds sacred gardens are but two of many examples. If you have an area of social interest that you would like to develop with other members, why not let Rob know so that we can pool resources or possibly create an interest group. As a well known and respected dowsing group we are frequently asked for help with finding water courses, bad energies etc. If you would particularly welcome the opportunity to help or just accompany helpers on these expeditions do let Rob know.

Peter has reminded me that there are some very odd things that could be of interest to the group, and very local too !!   Sometimes we have to be reminded that bad feelings in an area may not be due to geopathic stress but to evil intent. (We must all be careful that we are aware that these forces can be present ). A property in Lea was getting a name for having bad vibes and no-one seemed to know why. A mysterious telephone caller from London resolved the problem when he instructed the owners to burn a two-faced wooden doll which had been found in a niche in the house.

Richard Bartholomew has arranged the annual programme for 2004 If you feel that you can help, particularly with the organisation of the field trips please let Richard know.

Many thanks to Richard for all the hard work he has put in.
