Would you like to connect more deeply with your inner wisdom and the energies of the Earth? They are interconnected and you can experience them by learning the ancient art of dowsing (with rods or pendulums). Divining or dowsing has been used for thousands of years for many different purposes including finding water, oil, archaeological remains, missing people as well energy lines and testing for allergies. This day will specifically focus on finding earth energies. And together we'll discover the beauty of the moor and explore the energy, age and possible uses of an impressive Bronze Age settlement area and ceremonial complex.
LEVEL: EASY - Approximately 2 miles or 3km with several stops along the way to practice.

*Nearest postcode is TQ13 8ET but please don't rely on a GPS on Dartmoor as it's unlikely to take you to an exact location. It usually stops at the hamlet of Teigncombe which is about 3/4 mile before the start point.
Driving directions/any final details will be emailed approximately a week before the walk; please remember to check your junk email folder.
Please car share where possible. Parking is limited on Dartmoor and sharing lessens our impact on the environment. Thank you.
