66th Annual ASD Convention Workshops
Thursday, June 4 - Sunday, June 7, 2026
This year we have a great selection of half-day workshops to choose from in addition to our newly revised full-day Level 1 & Level 2 Dowsing Foundations Class (great for beginning dowsers and newbies). Several workshops are offered at the same time. If you are selecting multiple workshops, make sure they are at different times so they don't overlap.
Workshops are additional to convention and will be held from Thursday (6/4) through Sunday (6/8). They will be offered at the same time as the other presentations that are included in convention attendance, so you will get to choose which you would like to attend. If you can't decide, recordings of the presentations (not the workshops) will also be available for purchase so you may view them afterward.
Workshop Pricing (EARLYBIRD PRICING)
Half Day Workshops: $150 each for members. $175 for non-members
Pre-Conference Full Day Dowsing Class Workshops: $350
