Devon Dowsers was formed in late 1992 when John Bowers was teaching introductory ‘Dowsing for Beginners’ classes at Chulmleigh, South Molton and Okehampton Community Colleges which were proving very popular. It was after one of these that John Down suggested that it might be a good idea if there was some sort of follow up so people could meet and practise together afterwards. Devon Dowsers has remained the largest dowsing society in the country with over 200 members and as interest in dowsing has increased so has the membership, helped as a result of increasing use of Zoom during the lockdown period having attracted a world-wide membership and also the bi-annual DFEST meeting which interests’ people from far and wide. A far cry from the early days!
