in conjunction with the Southwest Dowsers Conference

Dowsing - Discover 2012 Gateway
ASD Southwest Dowsing Conference, October 7-12, 2011 with post conference Hopi and Navajo special journeys Oct. 12 and 13

Dowsing is an ancient technique for finding things and solving problems that is being creatively adapted to our modern world.
Dowsing is about harnessing and amplifying natural innate senses and abilities, such as electro-magnetic reception.
This is a great chance to learn and also explore some of the Southwest landscapes and cultures!
Please see new article I wrote with images of dowsing tools: What is Dowsing?

We are magnetized to them. Something calls us. These are places where people over time have felt positive effects, had meaningful experiences, supernatural revelation and that somehow give geographical context to spiritual values. Mythologies become associated with these places which can embody both mythic meaning and actual reality of the current experience simultaneously. In interacting with them something shifts at a cellular level, gets recharged, awakened. Here outside our daily life, worries are dissipated and hope of transcendent experience is possible. Sandra will discuss ways to attune and experience these places using heightened awareness, presence in the now, ceremony, shapeshifting, meditation and offer some guided experiences. Can register for 1 day or whole conference. Conference schedule here.       Ceremonial center within Wuptaki prehistoric greathouse complex that has a blowhole and ballcourt Cinder cone terrain Sunset Crater area, erupted from 1040-1100 AD   Canyon de Chelly group in canyon with Navajo guide Navajo guide   About Sandra Cosentino: Founder of Crossing Worlds Journeys & Retreats, Sandra is a life-long nature explorer with more than 3 decades of sharing friendship and respect with indigenous peoples.
