The Alchemy Course

finding the silver path

October 8th to 12th 2025

This is an Alchemy course like no other.

In it we will be journeying not only through the five elements — Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Aether and through all the heavenly bodies of the solar system but what sets this course apart is we will explore, using Sean's system gleaned from 30 years of dowsing, the way metals within us — both precious and base — connect us to these elements and the planets, revealing a deeper structure that links the cosmos to the self.

We will be working to bring ourselves into balance with these elements, metals, and planetary forces. We will look at the way our genes are shaped by diseases that have afflicted humanity over vast periods of time. and how this has been like the ticking of a vast cosmic clock — one that is not only responsible for the evolution of the human race but also leads to the imbalances we see in the world today.

Whether consumerism, global warming, wars, or religious intolerance, all can be seen within an alchemical framework.

On the course you will be introduced to each element's pattern one by one and we will begin to explore our personal relationships with the planets, metals and miasms (the genetic pattern of imbalance we have all inherited) that are related to it.

We will work through Earth, Air, Fire and Water until we arrive at Aether 'the breath of the Gods' the element from which all others arise and the element of today. It will be a journey through vast swathes of history - looking at each Age through an elemental lens taking in all the great landmarks and global initiations. But this is also a journey of discovery about our selves.

On the course you will be taught how to dowse in order to read our relationship to all the many parts of the alchemical picture. You will be taught how to use dowsing in a sophisticated way to help you stay in balance within this universal web. As well as dowsing we will use constellation work, guided meditations, flower essences and herbs, ritual, music and humour and many other modalities to divine and acknowledge our connections to all of these forces and whether they need embracing, healing or celebration. We will also be looking at personal health issues that may be holding us back - Sean will use his many years of experience in this field to uncover where an alchemical issue might be holding you back.

We are at a unique point in time where unity of all the elements is possible and this journey will be an exploration and an attempt to illuminate and stay on what may be called the Silver Path — a path personal to all beings representing our purpose on the Earth. Silver is the metal of the age of Aether or Fifth World - a time of Truth and Lies - representing the final stage of human development. A graduation. A waking up to what it means to feel aligned with our purpose.

Foundation Course in Health Dowsing

Step into the fascinating world of health dowsing with this transformative journey!

This course blends the ancient art of dowsing with modern health insights, empowering you to assess well-being on both a physical and energetic level.

By offering a structured and in-depth approach it will enable you to expand your dowsing abilities and integrate them into a comprehensive healing practice that aligns with your own passions and interests.

Under the expert guidance of Sean, a master dowser with 30+ years of experience , you'll explore how dowsing can be used to detect imbalances, support healing, and unlock a deeper understanding of health. You’ll also learn about and work with powerful complementary healing modalities such as homeopathy, flower essences, radionics, herbs and much more.

We will also be looking into environmental factors such as land, houses, food and household products so we can navigate a clearer path in the minefield of modern existence.

You will learn more than just techniques, this course also dives into the philosophical, ethical, and spiritual dimensions of dowsing, giving you a deeper understanding of its place in our contemporary world.

And if you already have a healing modality you practice then Sean and the team will help you to explore how dowsing can integrate with this work.

In short the Foundation course is about building a structure within which your own unique approach to dowsing can thrive.

What’s in Store?

The course takes place over:

Four 3-day Modules – These will be an opportunity to learn all the aspects needed to be able to scan a person for imbalances and begin to bring them back to their whole self.

Each day, we will explore different systems, organs, nutrients, meridians, and subtle bodies, along with various healing modalities and natural remedies. Through dowsing techniques, we will uncover how these elements are all interconnected and therefore enhance our understanding of what health looks like.

These long weekends will offer a balanced blend of hands-on practice and insightful theory. While deepening your skills as a dowser, you'll also have plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow students and enjoy a fun, engaging learning experience.

The course will take place at Staverton Courtroom in the historic village of Staverton. This was once an ecclesiastic court as well as a school but it now it serves as a Village Hall. It has one very special feature which few know about and that is the Grail line or Unicorn that runs through the length of the hall. A perfect setting for learning about and practicing the healing arts.

The Total cost of the course is £1250 if all of the modules are paid for together or £350 for each weekend – there is a deposit of £300 for the whole course and £84 for each module.

Outcomes

By the end of the course you will have learnt how to thoroughly dowse someone’s health from many different perspectives and on many different levels and to prescribe simple but effective treatments and lifestyle changes. You will have completed case studies and had these assessed. You will also be working in groups to support one another outside of the course dates and share techniques and findings. You will also be taught how to become researchers in your own spheres of interest.

It is not however designed to set you up as a practitioner in health dowsing with your own practice at this stage which is what the more advanced course is for.

Prerequirements

In order to be able to join the foundation course you will either have had to have taken part in one of Sean’s beginner courses or to be a sufficiently experienced dowser. If you are not sure please get in touch and we can discuss it.

Any upcoming Beginner’s courses will be listed here on the website.

Looking Ahead: The Practitioner’s Course

After completing the Foundation Course, you’ll have the chance to take your skills even further with the Practitioner’s Course. Here, you’ll explore advanced topics that Sean has pioneered such as Alchemy and the obscure elements of the periodic table, a deeper understanding of particular microorganisms and their role in illness, techniques for healing trauma at a soul level, the full implications of food intolerances, a deeper philosophical approach, how to build a practice as a health dowser, and much more.

Beginners Course

I am happy to announce that I am running another Dowsing Course for Beginners on May the 10th & 11th.

The course will run from Saturday the 10th of May to Sunday the 11th and will be held at the very lovely Angel Hall at Bowden House Community just outside of Totnes in Devon.

https://www.angelyogatotnes.co.uk/

I will be taking people through the skills needed to start working with both other people and yourself. Right from the initial how to dowse to the all important ability to dowse percentages, scales and even to map dowse. I will put a list of everything we will cover below.

The start for both days will be 9.30 for 10am start with a 15 minute morning and afternoon tea break and an hours lunch and we will aim to finish around 4.30-5 but I am happy to stay on and answer questions for longer for those that have the stamina.

This beginners course can be the preparation for the foundation course as outlined above.

This course is also for those who need to build confidence and need pointers but not for already confident dowsers.

We will be covering:

Percentages, scales, food and drink, toxicity, vitamins and minerals, organs, systems, auras, emotions, flower essences, tissue salts, earth energies (there are major lines running through Bowden - the Grail lines), geopathic stress and map dowsing and anything else there is time for.

There will be a 15 min tea break morning and afternoon and an hour for lunch. You will just need to bring a pendulum a dowsing rod/s and your own lunch. I will provide tea and snacks.

The course will be £190 for the 2 days.

I will ask for a deposit of £45 as soon as possible to secure your place – there are only 20 in total and would ask that the full payment of £190 be made by May 3rd. I will not be taking payment on the day.

Special Rate for those Going on to do the Foundation Course

If you are continuing on to take part in the Foundation Course in Health Dowsing then I will put £50 of the cost of the beginners course and put it towards the deposit for the longer course.

Totnes has many b&bs and tons of air b&bs so accommodation should be available if you are coming from further afield.
