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.

Peter van Den Burg has been researching crop circles since 2007. Primarily their geometric properties, then expanding his search to the relation crop circles have with the surrounding landscape and even star-contsellations and the heavens. He has made several field trips to the UK to visit the circles firsthand. His Facebook page ‘The Geometry of the Crop Circles’ is widely read and admired by his fellow researchers. His drawings and analyses are often featured on the Temporary Temples website.

Sat. 10th Oct. 6 – 7.30pm. Peter will be guiding us through some of the best circles of the 2026 season and sharing his fascinating geometric analyses and interpretations for some of this year’s circles entitled: Point of View 2026. “There is a specific cultural historical reference in the landscape this year that the Circle-makers seem to invite us to have a closer look at. We are also going to have a look at some design features that are significant in the 2026 season.”

He is the webmaster of www.ukcropcircles.co.uk which documents and archives his work, he is also author of Crop Circles: Layers of Mystery (2025).

Her Facebook community is where she regularly shares the latest crop circle discoveries, spiritual insights, videos and teachings. Known almost entirely through word of mouth, Kathy has built a loyal following, with clients travelling from across the UK and beyond.

Marièn Grace is a long-time crop circle researcher and the founder and director of the online discussion group the Crop Circle Interface. 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 and the energetics of interpersonal creation.

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 Mandala-nature 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 Manala-nature 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.

Bert Janssen is an award winning author, researcher, and frontier scientist. After studying mathematics and business management, he got interested in the power of shapes, form, harmony and geometry, which has led him into the mysterious worlds of quantum science, Gothic cathedrals, crop circles, Inka shamanism, and sacred sites. During his journeys, Bert Janssen keeps coming across unexpected knowledge and profound wisdom and shares his findings through his books, articles and movies. And through his dazzling story telling performances filled with razor sharp observations and analyses, showing us that humanity’s path to a wise future lies in our ability to engage with the ‘Organizing Principle’.

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.

Sat 31st Oct. 6 – 7.30pm. Gary will be talking about his forthcoming book, ‘Mirror in the Meadows: Crop Circles & the Imperative to Know Thyself. For decades, whenever a new formation appears in the landscape, the world asks the exact same set of questions: Who made it? How was it done? Is it real? Is it a hoax? Is it non-human intelligence? We treat the crop circle as an objective puzzle waiting to be solved by the rational mind. These questions are perfectly reasonable and understandable of course. But what if that hyper-fixation on external origin is actually missing the point entirely? What if these formations aren’t asking us to decipher them—what if they are standing in the landscape as a giant, geometric mirror, waiting for us to see ourselves?
