About The Mohawk-Hudson Dowsers
The Mohawk-Hudson Dowsers is a non-profit organization and is a chapter of The American Society of Dowsers. Our chapter was formed in June of 1973.
The dowsing community includes healers, clairvoyants, teachers, professionals, engineers, scientists, farmers, well drillers, and more! Our members tend to be friendly, open minded, growth seeking people interested in Dowsing, Healing, Metaphysics, Alternative Sciences and Energy, Intuitive Technology, Bio Energy Systems, Spirituality, Environmental and World Issues, and further development of their innate, intuitive senses.
During
the first dozen years: The Chapter found our Co-Op. Ext. meeting home, gave dowsing demonstrations annually at four County Fairs, won the "National Chapter of the Year Award" from our National ASD in 2000, taught
thousands of kids to dowse for five years running at Environmental
Education Days-- a five county discovery venue at the training center,
consuming two full days of instruction-- and, had one heck of a lot of
fun!
We located the well that the training center still uses today, were thrilled as seven ASD Trustees visited us as speakers for our meetings, and we grew our own level of dowsing competence by leaps-and-bounds.
Dowsers apply Dowsing and Intuition to better their daily lives and health, and to better understand themselves and the world we live in.
Water for Humanity Adopt-a-Well Projects
For many years our chapter initiated and supported Memorial Fund projects in Water for Humanity's Adopt-a-Well program. The Mohawk Hudson Dowsers received awards at the American Society of Dowsers (ASD) annual convention in 2013, 2014, and 2915, for the chapter making the greatest
donation to Water for Humanity, which was the charitable arm of ASD. This honor was due in
large
part to extensive efforts made by Bill Getz, a professional water dowser.Over 1.5 billion people lack clear, potable water and twice that number lack sanitation facilities. The Water for Humanity Fund provided funding for the development of dug or drilled wells and other aspects of water resources,
recovery, conservation, and protection worldwide in areas of critical need. WFH conducted projects in more than a dozen countries, working at the grassroots level, and
generally decentralized. Projects had to be environmentally sustainable, technologically appropriate, and sensitive and respectful of the culture.
The Frank Hoenig Memorial Fund
In July, 2015, we established the Water For Humanity
Adopt-A-Well "Frank Hoenig Memorial Fund".
Frank Hoenig passed over
July 20, 2015. Frank was deeply committed
to promoting dowsing and was personally fascinated by it. The
Divining Hand: The 500 year-old Mystery of Dowsing by Christopher
Bird, was his bible. Frank was kind and a very special person who
generously gave to the Mohawk-Hudson Dowsers and anyone interested
in learning about dowsing. When he became President of the
Mohawk-Hudson Dowsers Chapter of ASD (2009 - 2012), his leadership,
organizational skills, and dowsing skills and knowledge were just
what the chapter needed. In appreciation, we are honoring him with
a Memorial Fund through ASD Water for Humanity Adopt-a-Well program.
This is very fitting, as Frank was a big supporter of ASD, is in
keeping with his
ideals and is something that will go on for generations.
This well for
Frank was our 10th well.
The Robert Conary Memorial Fund
"Bob" was a

gentle soul,
an active member of the Mohawk-Hudson Dowsers and it's former Secretary
& Treasurer for many years. He passed on December 4, 2013. In appreciation, we honored him with a Memorial
Fund. Adopting a water well to improve the lives of a third world community was in
keeping with his ideals and was something that would go on for generations.
The David Pitkin Memorial Fund
David
was a member of the Mohawk-Hudson Dowsers and
had
given numerous lectures to our group. His
fifty years
of
prolific study in the field of paranormal investigation produced a large
body of work, including some of the best written records
of ghosts and paranormal activity in New England and beyond.
David's published works include nine
books, an audio CD, and countless presentations on a variety of
metaphysical topics. A well-recognized figure in his community,
television and international radio, David's good nature and personal
gravity lent to the pleasure of his presence for all who spent time with
him.
David passed on in February 2013, leaving the
inventory of his publishing firm, Aurora Publications. David's wish upon
his passing was to use his life's work as a means of providing safe and
clean water for people throughout India. 
The
David Pitkin Fund funded numerous
wells
in
Tamil Nadu, India.
Brett Wentworth Memorial Fund
Lynn Monroe
Memorial Fund
In 2009, we established the Water For Humanity Adopt-A-Well "Friends of
Lynn Monroe" Memorial Fund. Lynn Monroe
was a member of the Saratoga
Integrative Practitioners Network (SIPN), and an active member of the Mohawk-Hudson
Dowsers, where she
served on the programming committee. She
In 2011, our chapter began raising funds in Brett Wentworth's Memory, to support the Water for Humanity
Adopt-a-Well program. Barbara and Robert Conary had
devoted years of their time and energy to the Mohawk-Hudson Dowsers. In
appreciation for all that the Conary's did for our chapter, we honored them with a memorial fund in their son,
Brett’s, name. Brett's life was tragically taken during a break in and
robbery of his apartment in
Schenectady a few months earlier.
In July 2013, we received the project completion
report from the GUARD Society of the southern Indian state
of Tamil Nadu. The well had been completed and they sent us a testimonial, a
financial accounting of the funds we provided, verifications from the panchayat
presidents, and photos.
was selfless in her work in
helping people improve their lives. A devoted herbalist and cancer
guide, she brought great relief to many. Adopting a water well to
improve the lives of a third world community was in keeping with her
ideals and was something that would go on for generations. In
2011, we received the final report from Women's Organization for Rural
Development (WORD) of the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Referring
to the people who had made donations as "A collection of people which
included some dowsers..." we were told we had raised enough funds to
support the construction of a well and hand pump in a rural village in
honor of Lynn. Included with the final report were a testimonial, a few
photos, one of which showed the plaque mounted to the concrete platform
for the well which dedicated the well to Lynn; an audit and a statement
verifying the work. We were very pleased with this memorial to our
friend.
"I know very
well that many scientists consider dowsing as they do astrology, as a type of ancient superstition. According to my conviction this is,
however, unjustified. The dowsing rod is a simple instrument which shows
the reaction of the human nervous system to certain factors which are
unknown to us at this time."
