Writer and speaker Summer Connor presents a talk helping us discover the mysteries and legends surrounding this special order of knights and the truths that they protected.
This in-person event will take you on a journey that will reveal deep, esoteric knowledge normally only shared in the mystery schools, but needs to be known by everyone today.
You will also learn of a powerful, Rosicrucian energy exercise for health and higher consciousness.
Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to uncover the secrets that have captivated minds for centuries!
As well as researching mind-body health, Summer also dives deep into energy and esoteric wisdoms from the past, such as the Sacred Secretion, the Rosicrucians and Knights Templar.
She believes that nature has a cure for most of what we face today and that our ancestors left practices and knowledge for this time that will enable us to create a true, human community for the future.
Admission £9.00 for advance booking, £10 on the door. Please use the link below to book tickets to this event.

Field Trip To the White Leaved Oak led by Lawrence Wadsworth.
This is a visit to the hamlet of Whiteleaved Oak which
sits at the southern end of the Malvern Hills, and is located where the
boundaries of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Worcester meet.
It is where
the dowser John Gibson-Forty investigating the legend of the Three Choirs,
located and dowsed the ten energy lines radiating out from the centre forming a
decagon.
It will be an opportunity to investigate the energies emanating from
the centre ourselves, and also in the surrounding area.
We are
looking forward to welcoming you to our field trip to the Whiteleaved Oak,
which is a special event, requiring extra organisation. Please note the following points:
Numbers for this trip are limited and
pre-booking is essential. Places will be
allocated on a first come first served basis.
If you want to attend please let Teresa know asap. teresadellbridge@gmail.com

Lawrence has taken a lot of trouble investigating the site, and he has composed an interesting information sheet. Please read this through, to get the most out of your visit.
It will be on our website and a printed version given to each attendee. Click the following link to access the information sheet.
The usual
entrance fee for our events will be payable, but please bring cash, as it may
not be possible to use credit cards.
We have to
take extra care how we approach this sacred site. It is situated in a hamlet, and parking is
very limited. Therefore, arrangements
will be made to ferry people in groups of four, to a place close to the site.
We will be
meeting in the car park of the Duke of York Inn, WR13 6JQ, at 10.00am for 10.15
start. It’s important to be punctual, as
ferrying to the site will be organised in the car park. The site is about 8 minutes drive away.
After we have
visited the Whiteleaved Oak we will return to the Duke of York for lunch. Tables will be booked for 1.30. If you are joining us for lunch this has to
be ordered in advance. Please consult
the menu www.dukeofyorkberrow.co.uk and give your menu choices to Teresa
Dellbridge by Sunday May 4th.
Email me at teresadellbridge@gmail.com or text me on 07833752173. Pre-payment is not required.
I’m sure none
of our members and friends need any reminder about treating the entire area
with respect. We believe the site will
welcome any efforts to re-enchant the land and bring in cosmic energy. Feel free to do this in your own way, but please make sure that you protect
yourself first, ground yourself afterwards, and ask permission of the
land. If you are in any way unsure about
this, there are experienced members on hand to ask for advice. Needless to say, we must leave nothing
that could pollute the site. Lawrence
Wadsworth, John Collins and Teresa Dellbridge will all be happy to help.
Depending how
fast you walk it will take fifteen minutes or so to reach the furthest parts of
the site. The walk is uphill, but not
too steep, along a country road and through fields. The terrain is uneven and boggy in
patches. Please make sure your footwear
is suitable and that you are dressed for the weather. There are sheep in the field, so any dogs
must be kept on a lead. It’s always a
good idea to bring water to sip, and of course don’t forget your dowsing rods
and/or pendulums.
Looking
forward to seeing you on the day.
Lawrence and
Teresa

Maria Zerva - Decoding the Myths.
Maria will take us on a journey through the mythologies that surround the countries of the Mediterranean basin, as well as legends of the rest of Europe, starting from the abduction of Europa by the White Bull,
following the labyrinth and the minotaur, talking about the Etruscans, the
Scandinavian Gods and Goddesses, reaching the shores of Ireland and the
beautiful legends about the Tuatha De Danann.
Entering the Piscean Age, Maria will be talking about the
legend of King Arthur and the Knights Templar. Also, she will talk about the
Eleusinian Mysteries and the Philosophical School of Plato.
What is the hidden symbolism behind the myths and what is
the sacred connection between the Venerated Mother Earth, the High Priests and
Priestesses and the initiates into the Mysteries?
Maria Zerva was born in Athens, Greece in 1975.
She has studied Finance at the University of Athens and
Photography at the Westminster and Kingsway College in London.
She has published a photobook titled: Achilleion, The
Palace, Corfu - Greece.
Her parents' origins are an amalgam of the Ionian
islands, Crete and Sporades islands.
From a very early age she has had vivid dreams and otherworldly experiences.
She has always been fascinated by the legends and the myths, exploring history, and the meaning of ancient symbols.
July 12th. 10:30am-12:00. Frampton on Severn Village Hall. GL2 7EA.
Lisa Fullbright Cossey. Working with the Ancestors.
This talk draws on Lisa’s latest training with the Centre for Systemic Constellations.
Constellation work seeks to help systems to find balance and order for the purpose of healing. The primary system we all belong to is our family. Systemic Constellations work addresses the traumas and adverse experiences of our ancestors and how they impact upon the subsequent generations. It brings harmony to the ancestral lines and allows the blessings of the ancestors to flow down to us.
In the West we have become dangerously disconnected from our ancestors, unaware of how their lives affect us now and with no model to relate positively to and work with our ancestral inheritance.
Bert Hellinger, who developed the Systemic Constellation techniques, lived with the Zulu people for many years and developed this work to bring ancient, indigenous understanding of the ancestors to the Western mind.
In this talk Lisa will explain the work of Systemic Constellations for the family and explore how people can often be inappropriately carrying ancestral trauma which negatively affects their lives.
We will explore how the remarkable and profound process of constellations works.
Finally, she will discuss how the people who act as “representatives” during a constellation session could be said to be using the same processes that dowsers use.

Amy Murphy-Watts. Rebalancing with dowsing, flower essences and energy healing.
Balancing our stress levels can be a
constant battle.
Finding the time to allow yourself to 'just be' for 10 mins a
day can be a challenge in itself.
Stress can have a very negative effect on the
body and our mental health.
Amy will be showing us ways in which we can combat
that with nature's energy, dowsing and essences; making us aware about the way
we breathe or the words that we use and the vibration that can result from
that.
She will leave you with some helpful tips on how to combat this and to
become more consciously aware of where you hold stress and how to start to let
that go.
Dowsing is an integral part of this process.
Amy Murphy-Watts is
the founder of Nature’s Wish, a flower essence and wellbeing company. She
specialises in working with energy, helping others to become more aware of
their energy fields and what is damaging and beneficial to oneself.
As an advanced flower
essence practitioner, she calls upon her 20 years of experience in this field,
working with nature and its benefits.
She is also a Spiritual Healer,
professional dowser, and does one-to-one consulting, using dowsing to detect
energies and work with essences.
As an experienced speaker, Amy shares ways in
which working with energy and nature enriches your life.
She offers a variety of courses, helping others to learn to balance their
energies, working with nature and essences.
She teaches dowsing and working
with essences, empowering others to work with their intuition. Having produced
essences, wellbeing products and herbal teas for 14 years, she now distributes
across the UK and worldwide.
September 25th. 7:30pm - 10:30pm. Special Evening Presentation. Slimbridge Village Hall. GL2 7DF.
Earth’s Energies and Us. Presented by Adrian Incledon-Webber.
It may sound a strange title but that is what we humans are, caretakers of the world and in the talk will be looking at how we, individually, or in groups can start to make a difference.
We will, through dowsing, discover and bring healing to the many energies that can affect us and the earth, whether caused by detrimental human emotion or vibrational echoes from the past.
We will also be touching on nature spirits and how, by connecting with them we can bring peace to our gardens and the countryside beyond. The Guardian of the site, or Genus Loki also plays an important part in bringing healing to the land and your home.
This is a practical talk so do bring your rods/pendulums with you, and a notebook to jot down thoughts. We will be carrying out a healing session too.
Adrian started Dowsing Spirits some eleven years ago, he is a full time dowser/healer (geomancer), author of two ‘Heal Your Home’ books, described as the bibles of Geopathic Stress, and tutor of various dowsing and healing courses and workshops through the country.
He is a former Vice President of the British Society of Dowsers and past chair of their Earth Energies and Healing Groups.
Further details on his book, DVD and House Healing work are available on his website.
The Art of the Master Builders
Following on from his presentation in
February, Mark Leib returns to Slimbridge Dowsers to delve deeper into the
legacy of his lineage - the Master Builder wisdom tradition.
The tradition specialised in the
building of temples, sanctuaries and sacred landscapes for over a thousand years
throughout Europe.
The masters of the tradition were
architects, builders, geomancers and surveyors of the physical and etheric
aspects of the landscape and the celestial patterns.
The lineage developed a unique
alchemical building science that originates in Celtic, Arabic and Indian cultures.
Mark will explain more aspects of this
science that practically integrates the five elements, harmonics, latitude,
cardinal directions and the rhythms of the planets with nodes of subtle earth
energies.
Mark will create another harmonic structure that everyone can experience and he will provide examples of sacred architecture utilising the methodology of the tradition.
Mark is a sacred builder, geomancer and interior architect with thirty years international design experience.
He
is the founder of Sacred Design Studio – an innovative consultancy
specialising in the creation of transformational sanctuaries that optimise holistic healing, long-term
wellbeing and high vibration living.
The
studio creates meditation gardens, landscape mandalas, bio-architecture,
bespoke furniture and artwork activated by the lifeforce within nature.
Mark’s
methodology integrates sacred geometry, harmonics, radiesthesia and subtle earth
energies with contemporary design aesthetics.
He’s
the only person in the UK certified in the European Tradition of Master
Builders. This is a 1000-year-old temple building lineage that retains the
earth wisdom and esoteric design sciences of the Celtic, Arabic and Indian cultures.
Mark
undertakes ongoing research and offers workshops in etheric science, sacred
architecture, harmonics and geometry.
His
design method is supported by direct experiences gained from twenty years of
advanced spiritual initiation, internal martial arts training, Native American
nature skills and vision quests within pristine landscapes.
Mark is a director of Earthlight Medicine Garden located on the Somerset Levels and a co-host of the Akashic Field Podcast.
