Cindy A. Pavlinac - WORKSHOP - July 5, 2006: The Power of Place: Dowsing Imaginal Landscapes
Cindy Pavlinac will lead participants on a journey through eight archetypal landscapes: Ocean, Desert, Mountain, Lake, Island, Cave, Forest, River. Based in the ancient aboriginal wisdom of the Native Americans and Celtic Earth Mysteries, this workshop will feature in-depth exploration and meditation/visualization exercises. Immersing ourselves in inspiring words, stunning photography and contemplative music, we will explore the terrain of inner and outer landscapes, learning to recognize the unique attributes and inherent wisdom of each environment. We will practice dowsing from the keenly focused center of each archetypal landscape, drawing on the power of our senses to improve our abilities to ask clear questions, strengthen intuition, summon guides, evaluate answers, and unify our questing. Dress comfortably. Bring a journal for writing and/or drawing. Handouts provided.

In addition to the Workshop, Cindy will be presenting a lecture presentation twice at the Conference.
Lecture: The Power of Place
Strong visualization improves your dowsing. Immersing ourselves in inspiring words, stunning photography and contemplative music, we will explore the terrain of inner and outer landscapes. Using real world experience and the power of our five senses, we will journey to specific landscapes to strengthen our ability to keenly and precisely visualize. Based in the ancient aboriginal wisdom of the Native Americans and Celtic Earth Mysteries, this presentation introduces eight archetypal landscapes. By improving our skill at visualization we improve our ability to dowse.

Randy Peyser - The Power of Miracle Thinking: Unlocking The Miracle Code
Steven Walters was given 24 hours to live. Twelve years later, he still shows no signs of leukemia. A fire, which consumed 500,000 acres, swept across Ronnie Chittim’s property in Southern Oregon. While everything in every direction burnt to the ground, Ronnie’s home remained untouched. Steven and Ronnie have quite different stories, yet they each had one thing in common – each was looking for a miracle, and each achieved it.

Beyond setting intentions and offering gratitude, what does it take for miracles to unfold? Having interviewed scores of people who have experienced miracles, Randy Peyser searched for, and discovered, the energetic key that unlocks the miracle code. While many people incorporate the use of intentions and gratitude in their manifestation process, they have missed one vital key component that will consistently prevent or delay their miracle from occurring. Based on her upcoming book, The Power of Miracle Thinking, Randy will reveal the specific key that unlocks the doors for Grace to flow so that you can truly create the miracles you desire.

Randy Peyser is the author of The Comprehensive Article Submission Directory & Mind/Body/Spirit Speakers Resource Guide, Crappy to Happy and the upcoming book, The Power of Miracle Thinking. Her work on Miracle Thinking is also featured in the new book, Healing the Heart of the World. Additionally, she is featured in Visionary Women Inspiring the World, Confessions of Shameless Self-Promoters, Networking Magic, Book Marketing from A-Z, and Dojo Wisdom for Writers. The owner of Author One Stop, Randy specializes in helping Mind, Body, Spirit authors to get their books published, and helps facilitators to drive massive traffic to their website through the use of articles. www.miraclethinking.com.

Gary Plapp - Dowsing the Holographic Universe
Currently new concepts in the nature of reality are being introduced on all levels of our lives. The popular movie “What the Bleep do we Know” has stirred many of us to open up to new possibilities never before imagined. Quantum Physics tells us that everything is energy vibrating at difference frequencies. Dowsers have known this for a long time. Now we’re being treated to a better understanding of how it all works together. Consciousness and awareness are the keys to better dowsing. Gary will focus on how a better understanding of our holographic universe can dramatically improve our dowsing accuracy and success. How we use and live with this awareness may also affect our health, spirituality, relationships and our very future. Even our thoughts and consciousness affect the global hologram we call earth and our greater family of humanity. Experiments in consciousness and conscious involvement will be conducted. Relationships to a dynamic unified holographic paradigm filled with endless possibilities will also be discussed.

Gary Plapp has been dowsing for 30 years and is a workshop instructor, tour guide, speaker, writer, inventor and earth energy researcher. Gary is a dowsing consultant and conducts water/ mineral dowsing and earth energy – environmental corrections for homes and businesses. He has been an aerospace-research electrical engineer (MS) for over 40 years and recently retired from Lockheed Martin at NASA - Ames Research Center. Gary pioneered biofeedback instrumentation and became the president/ owner of Humatech Engineering. He was the past president of the San José Dowsing Chapter and is now the founder and president of the Los Lunas Dowsing Chapter – The Harmonious Earth “Willow Benders”.

Donna-Lee Powers - So You Have/Want A Vision? . . . Tools to Make IT Happen!
Letters of the alphabet have meaning and associations far beyond the normal school curriculum. They are ancient symbols, energy imprints, that convey subtle messages to ourselves and others. Every pen stroke reinforces shifts in neural brain patterning so by intentionally changing the design of the letters, their size and/or spacing, you access the unconscious and support a new conscious agenda. If you want to design your life rather than react to it, learn how together the 26 alphabet 'tools' and dowsing support you in manifesting the visionary within you. Highly recommended reading are Vimala Rodgers' CHANGE YOUR HANDWRITING, CHANGE YOUR LIFE, and YOUR HANDWRITING CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE. (there will be no taping, please, of this presentation by anyone by request of Vimala)

Like many dowsers, Donna-Lee Powers draws from a background of many disciplines, but today works primarily as a massage therapist, flower essence practitioner and Intuitive Consultant in the area of personal and spiritual development. Her abilities as a reader/channel developed directly as a result of her application of dowsing principles and 5 years' intensive study/teaching of Vimala Rodgers handwriting technology. Her personal philosophy "if we don't continue to learn and grow we stagnate" led to studying with Pat Dornik the past 5 years. Pat is an extraordinarily gifted 'wisdom teacher' who inspires a growing community of life long learners. "These are intense times and require an intense commitment to foster the well-being and prosperity of eachother." SPEAKER CONTACT: email: powersdlee@aol.com; phone: (650) 583-3352.

Bill Russell - Miracle Dowsing Through New Visions of Reality
By viewing reality from alternative perspectives, we can truly work dowsing miracles. Our ordinary Western objective understanding of reality limites our abilities to comprehend and operate effectively beyond physical realms. Indigenous people long ago learned to visualize the world beyond the way that our physical senses and nervous systems are hard wired to show us that ancient Shamic midset was the environment in which dowsing originated. In this presentation, we will learn to revive those ancient perceptual skills by learning new ways to view reality that let us expand our dowsing abilities in remarkable ways.

Bill Russell was a Penn State University faculty research physicist and most recently was a NASA physics consultant. Attempting to better understand the deeper implications of discoveries in modern physics, he has studies with numerous dowsers, psychic researchers, and master Shamans from various world traditions for many years. His current interest is developing new tools and techniques for well being, communicating with nature, and expanding our human potential by integrating the concepts of quantum physics, shaman healing and dowsing. His website offers information and instruments for subtle energy harmonizing. SPEAKER CONTACT: website: http://www.intentronics.com; email: shaman@dowsers.com.
