Welcome and Introduction
It has been 20 years since we first began hosting our annual conferences and during that time the crop circle phenomenon, while remaining ever present, has changed enormously. The way we think about the subject and interact with the circles has moved on and so has the way we do our conference, with emphasis on community and the sharing of ideas and experiences. In the past few years we have moved our conference online to widen the opportunity for people to attend and take part. This format has proved hugely popular, allowing those who would never get to travel to the UK, to now take part in our events. Today, we have a burgeoning and vibrant online community that sees people from all over the globe come together to marvel at and explore this beautiful phenomenon.
Who is this conference for?
The Introduction to Crop Circles & Consciousness Workshop with Dr. Jonathan-Paul De Vierville & Karen Alexander, looks at what links consciousness with crop circles and opens with the question ‘What brings you here?’ The group widens and deepens to discuss synchronicity, dreams, how the crop circles impact upon the psyche and what that might have to tell us about the phenomenon.
This workshop is one of the most fascinating and stimulating sessions of the entire conference. People come together to share their personal experiences, impressions and intuitions about the crop circles, in addition to their personal connections with the phenomenon. For those that attend, this workshop seems to generate a great camaraderie and group spirit as the conference progresses.
Our Introduction to Crop Circle Geometry Workshop with Karen Alexander & Geoff Fitzpatrick, offers both theory and (optional) hands-on drawing exercises to familiarise our attendees with the role of Sacred Geometry in the crop circle phenomenon.

He has been a regular and popular speaker at the Summer Lectures since their inception. Dan has a keen eye for the fine detail of the circles; the lay of the crop and other significant ground details. Each year he presents us with the intrigues and delights of the interior of the circles, so easily missed by all but the most eagle-eyed, accompanied with an eye-watering array of beautiful photography.
Peter van Den Burg has been researching crop circles since 2007. Primarily their geometric properties, gradually expanding his search to the relation crop circles have with the surrounding landscape. His drawings have been featured on the Temporary Temples website for the last few years.
Gary King began researching the crop circle phenomenon in 1997. He first came to the publics attention after having been one of the three primary witnesses present at the formation and discovery of the East Field formation on the 7th July 2007. Since then he has lectured both nationally and internationally, and featured in numerous TV productions regarding the phenomenon including the recent film, Crop Circle Realities. Gary is himself a photographer and film maker and worked with the late, great researcher Michael Glickman on their Crop Circle Reporter website for a number of years. Gary brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to his work that is both insightful and intellectually stimulating.
Marièn Grace is a long-time crop circle researcher and the founder and director of the Bay Area Crop Circle Study Group. Through this forum she studies the implications of the mysterious phenomenon known as crop circles. Marién is an accomplished speaker on the subject, always focusing through the lens of consciousness. A graduate with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from California Institute of the Arts, Marién Grace uses the arts for expressing her study of meaning and dynamics, now being fed by her passion for the fundamental dive into Sacred Geometry.
Geoff Fitzpatrick was introduced to mandalas whilst studying the pioneering work of Carl G Jung and has spent the past 15 years exploring the intersection of geometry, spirituality and psychology through these symbols. Working with mandalas has opened Geoff to the profound power geometry possesses to influence states of consciousness. The construction of sacred sand mandalas during Geoff’s Mandalanature sessions opens people to a deeper aspect of themselves by blending creativity, geometry and mindfulness in a unique and special way. In addition to his studies at Trinity College and the Milltown Institute, Geoff has trained with Dr. Stanislav Grof MD learning a psychotherapeutic technique called Holotropic Breathwork. Dr. Grof’s cartography of the psyche informs the Manalanature model entirely. Geoff is also a regular visitor to the crop circles, to experience their spaces and contemplate their geometries. Geoff combines his love of Mandalas, consciousness and the circles to form a unique view of this phenomenon.
Dr. Veronica Goodchild is Professor Emerita at Pacifica Graduate Institute, where she taught Jungian psychology and psychotherapy for over 16 years. She grew up in England, studied at London University, and moved to the U.S. in her early 20s, eventually completing her graduate education in New York and California. She practiced as a psychotherapist for many years, before turning to teaching and writing. In the last few years, Veronica has developed Pilgrimage journeys in SW France, Crete and Mainland Greece, and the UK, uniting her interest in myth and legend with visits to sacred sites. Veronica has a keen interest in the intersection of psyche and nature, and began visiting crop circles in 2008. She has traveled extensively in France (where she now lives), Peru, and Egypt, following the hints of her dreams. She is the author of Eros and Chaos: The Sacred Mysteries and Dark Shadows of Love, and of Songlines of the Soul: Pathways to a New Vision for a New Century.
