WANTED – 100 HEALERS
The year is 1981. A wave of civil unrest is sweeping the country, fuelled by racism and class inequality. Emotions run high, blood is shed in inner-city riots. In Brighton – still suffering from weekend run-ins and violence after the regular seafront confrontations between the Mods and the Rockers in the late 1960s – a dowser, healer and researcher called Colin Bloy was conducting experiments with the use of energy in healing. His studies had already shown that healing energy worked on plants and animals as well as people. He knew that this energy could be sent across the miles – certainly from England to Spain – and that it could be measured, even captured in photographs. The increase in size and vibrancy of energy fields before, during and after healing experiments had been documented, giving a factual basis to the positive effects felt by patients. In the wake of yet another weekend of violence in his home town, Colin Bloy wondered if the same positive effect that was so clearly felt by people, animals and plants could be felt by a place?

Wanted: 100 Healers
The Spring and Summer of 1981 were marked by violent riots in towns and cities throughout the country. Blood had been shed, emotions were running high. Dowse, healer and researcher Colin Bloy wondered if the same techniques of setting an intention and focusing energy on a person could work at healing a place and a situation. He put a call out to his fellow dowsers and healers – and so it was that on 29th September, 100 healers gathered at the fountain at the Old Steine in Brighton, a known energy site (the old ring of stones is still there). Dowsers measured the surrounding energy before and after the session of meditation and sending healing: the increase in size of the energy field was astonishing, and the calming of violent behaviour in Brighton was noticeable. This became known as The Brighton Experiment, and led to the founding of The Fountain Group, now Fountain International. I have been invited to produce a series of programmes for a local TV station and I felt that this story would make a very interesting programme. Suzanne Thomas, the lady who now runs Fountain International and who holds the archive material, has been very helpful,...
