Crop Circles: Geometry & Symbolism
Karen will present via live streaming from the UK
 Geometry, number and proportion are the language with which the crop circles have chosen to open their conversation with us. To understand basic geometrical form is to begin to speak the language of the circles and to commence the work of unraveling their meaning. Karen has spent this past year doing just that whilst drawing the 2011 circles. She will share with us the depth of her knowledge and wisdom and how the circles have spoken to her.
Karen Alexander is a long time circles researcher who has for many years brought a thoughtful and introspective touch to researching the crop circles. A respected and influential speaker and writer, her work seamlessly fuses sacred art, spirituality, psychology and philosophy - the scholarly and the intuitive. Karen is perhaps best known as the writer behind the annually published Crop Circle Year Books (1999 - 2011) andCrop Circles: Signs, Wonders & Mysteries, Arcturus 2006.

Crop Circle Question Time
 Michael will join us live from his home in the heart of crop circle country in Wiltshire, England. He will appear live on the big screen and answer any questions you may put to him on crop circles.
In his more than twenty years of involvement with the crop circles, he has also made a veritable art-form of the deconstruction of crop circle designs to better understand their symbolism and, most importantly, their geometric properties. As a result, his work on the geometry of the circles is respected throughout the crop circle research community worldwide. Michael is a much-loved and influential figure in the crop circle world. Often outspoken, sometimes controversial, but always with a sharp wit, he is a renowned and inspirational speaker and writer; he has long occupied a central space at the heart of research into this phenomenon. Michael has written many articles on the crop circles including key contributions to the once great Cereologist magazine. His book, "Crop Circles" (1996) is published by Wooden Books and is now in its third revised edition. He is also author of "Cornography" (2007) and most recently "Crop Circles: The Bones of God" (2009).
Crop Circles and the New Consciousness of 2012 and Beyond
 Crop circles are a modern day phenomenon with implications beyond human comprehension. This program provides insight into the science of the mystery that has intrigued researchers, scientists, healers, and mystics throughout the world for decades. Awareness expands consciousness toward all possibilities. There were over one hundred elaborate crop circles worldwide in 2011. What is the message? What are the circlemakers communicating? This presentation will explore these questions and how we can respond holistically.
Ann Cathcart is an R.N. and board certified holistic nurse and energy practitioner in private practice in Minneapolis, MN.

Ancient Mysteries for Modern Times
 Our distant ancestors understood and respected the workings of the natural world and their societies appear to have been based on working in harmony with Nature and the Cosmos. The ancient sacred sites all around the world attract us in ever increasing numbers because at a core level we know they hold some truths that are still relevant to us today. The crop circles likewise call people to visit, without them necessarily knowing why. Today we are realizing that our current ways of behaving on our planet are not sustainable. Can we learn anything of value from both our ancient ancestors and the crop circlemakers that will help us navigate a new course that is both healthier and more sustainable?
This question has driven Glenn´s research into sacred sites and the crop circles for the last twenty years. Sharing some of this information for the first time Glenn will take us through some of the lessons we can learn from the ´mysterious´ ancient past and the very ´tangible´ present phenomenon of crop circles. He will show, for example, how practical application of some of these lessons is having dramatic positive effects in agriculture.
Glenn has long been fascinated by sacred sites, knowing intuitively that they have something to teach us. Through personal experience and research he has explored the unseen aspects of these places of power and has discovered that they have important messages for us in the present times of change. He found his latent ability to dowse for energies was awakened in him when he entered his first crop circle (where he first met Steve Alexander). Running alongside this was a constant spiritual exploration which opened many doors and led to many questions. Practising Vipassana meditation, travelling, and training with the National Federation of Spiritual Healers in England and the International College of Crystal Healing, were all experiences which have informed his current perspective.
Glenn has been a tour guide for most of this time, in partnership with his American healer wife Cameron, leading groups exploring the mysteries of sacred sites and crop circles through www.journeyswithsoul.com
They also co-founded / co-organize these Earth Spirit Conferences www.earthspiritconferences.com

She is the organizer of this conference and regularly presents at conferences on both sides of the Atlantic.

The Oneness Experience
 Oneness blessing givers will be offering blessings during the breaks at our conference. Here is what Marieken Uijen-Volz, the organizer of ´Oneness NorthEast´, says about it: “Oneness Experience is the transfer of powerful and healing energy via the hands or over a distance through intention. Oneness Experience is meant to begin a strong spiritual awakening by affecting the neuro-biology of our brain and increasing the flow of energy through the chakras, and also supports the healing of various aspects of our lives.”
