ALICJA ARATYN  was born in Poland. She received her Masters Degree in Civil Engineering from the Warsaw Polytechnic University in 1978, has worked as an Editor in a Publishing House.  Throughout her career, Alicja devoted some of her time to the study of Alternative Medicine and Metaphysical Techniques.  Following her move to Canada in 1991, serious health problems experienced by her son propelled her to apply these techniques directly in her own life.  To her great joy, her son's health improved drastically with the help of Reiki and Qigong (an important part of Chinese Traditional Medicine). This experience led her to change her career path to full-time professional Dowsing, Holistic Healing, Teaching and Lecturing. Contact:   2541 Kingsberry Crescent; Mississauga, Ontario   Z5B 2K7

Symbology and Dowsing:  This lecture will present many different symbols, whose vibration can enhance your life, your health, and your environment.  You will also learn how to find and create your personal symbols using pendulum and charts, how to protect your home and workplace against non-beneficial energies and support it (i.e. with the proper logo). Many photos will show and prove that for thousands of years people are using symbology to improve and protect their life as well as a part of a creation of desired reality.  Today we do not pay enough attention to symbology, which can be an easy and simple solution to most of our problems.

*  Measuring Earthquake Potentials Combining Electronics and Dowsing Methods. New radio frequencies have been discovered by the author that resonate with seismic electromagnetic waves in the ultra low frequency range. These can be generated to monitor the relative strengths of specific seismic events in a given region. Specific locations of seismic centers can be determined from many miles away. Small low-cost units have been tested successfully which can enable individuals to track the relative strength of seismic energies in local areas as well as on a larger scale. Lower energy concentrations can be detected, located, and measured which may be precursors to earthquakes. This technology will be discussed in detail and demonstrated. Some units will be available for testing and for sale to the class.

* FIELD TRIP:  Mount Ranier.  How to Measure the Human Energy Fields in Relation to the Earthpulse and Seismic Energies. After an introductory talk we’ll meet in an open space on campus. Each will learn and test the methods for measuring seismic energy and earthquake potential. We’ll then depart "a safari" toward Mt. Rainier. Stops will be made at specific distances from the mountain to measure the seismic energy levels. These results will be plotted as the trip progresses until the nearest point practical to the volcanic center is reached. These data will be compared with those from previous dates and nearby volcanic sites, to evaluate the mountain's condition on that date. New methods and information should result from the work of the group which could be published. The technology can be passed on to others in home localities by the participants. Private cars will be used with an intercom system for up to five cars. Limited to 30 participants. Pre-register

CAROL HEYWOOD-BABRAUSKAS  During the Harmonic Convergence in August, 1987, Carol was zapped by planet-awakening energies that triggered her DNA to evolve and initiate the opening of her pineal gland/third eye.  Her world became very colorful and full of interaction within the electromagnetic realm, which is the playground of the gods.  Her experiences have gifted her with an expanded perception and a desire to share the news of the readily available spiritual resources.  Carol also captures the enlivening beauty of her inner landscape by painting “medicine pictures” that stimulate the viewers’ energy field   Contact: pinkrose "at" centurytel.net,  9000 300th Place SE, Issaquah, Washington   98027

* Evolutionary Update:  Earth has turned a corner and entered a new cycle - now what? I will share what I have recently witnessed in Earth's big picture mythology and evolutionary progress.  Major shifts are happening rapid-fire with interesting results.  I will point out the various signs of fundamental change and new waves of consciousness that are establishing values of Peace and Love and forcing old layers of outdated ego consciousness out of the way.  New energies are now available for our use and I will discuss various ways these energies can benefit us in our daily lives and beyond.

MINI WORKSHOP – Friday --  Fanning the Creative Spark and Exploring the Unlimited Possibilities of Energy Work:  My open third eye affords me the privilege of seeing the workings of electromagnetic energy.  I want to share some simple mechanisms for energy/thought transfer via Earth’s electromagnetic field/grid and other previously esoteric tools to help perform effective and easy energy work.  I have also learned of the many benefits of creativity and I believe when it talks in the Bible about man being created in God’s image, it is referring to the quality of being creative.  Everyone will be given the opportunity to playfully create with the supplies provided to help ignite the creative fires and inspire the continued fanning of them.

*KEYNOTE ADDRESS*:  Sacred Energy Patterns in Nature --  Joey has found a pattern of energies around every human being that is almost identical to the Tree of Life symbol in Kabbalah, which is a body of oral teachings that reveals how the Universe was created and how it is continually maintained by the Creator.  Kabbalah teaches that everything in Creation is patterned after the Tree of Life.  Joey not only finds this sacred pattern of energies around people, but he also finds it repeating itself in Earth energies, just as the teachings say.  We can all learn to detect this sacred energy pattern with dowsing and work with it to heal and improve our lives using prayer and blessing.

WORKSHOP – Friday - Dowsing & the Kabbalah Connection:   Joey will teach you his system of dowsing combined with prayer and blessing to explore and change the subtle energies in your living environment.  You'll learn to change any detrimental subtle energy into beneficial energy and attract new beneficial energies to draw what you most desire into your life.  You'll even learn to change the harmful radiations from electronic appliances (EMFs) into beneficial energies.  Joey will also share his “Kabbalah connection to dowsing.” You’ll learn about the dynamic relationship we each have with the living energies within and around us.

SUSAN SHADBURNE, despite chronic illness, was a successful screenwriter/ director/ producer for thirty years until completely disabled by multiple sclerosis and environmental illness, both considered incurable. It was a chance encounter with a pendulum five years ago that would change her life. Dowsing eight hours a day, with a pendulum and charts as her only instruments, and her body as a laboratory, she began to heal.  What was considered to be impossible was merely long and strenuous, and in the process a healing system was evolving. When she saw dis-ease transforming in herself, she applied the techniques with repeatable results.  Contact: susan "at" shadburne.com;   voice: (503) 222-6676, fax: (503) 241-4154;

From Helpless to Healer. Susan will discuss the information she received during the course of her healing regarding the root causes of dis-ease (trauma and other discordant emotional energies, virii, bacteria, parasites, fungi, chemical and metal toxicity, and miasms) and the means to clear them. She'll discuss, too, the use of dowsing to determine genetic enzymatic defects and how best to accommodate them with nutritional supplementation, personalized diets, and self-acupressure
