Introduction & Upcoming Lecture

  • Wednesday, July 30th 2025, “A Night of Crop Circling, The Festival Edition” Smithy Art Forgery, Burbage, Wiltshire UK

    Last year we celebrated the 10th edition of “A Night of Crop Circling”. After 10 years we decided it is time to change the format a little. That’s why we proudly present “A Night of Crop Circling, The Festival Edition”. Still, crop circles will be the main ingredient, but we add music and meditation to the mix. And most of all we want to offer you the possibility to enjoy the company of like minded people “croppies” from all over the world. To talk, have a drink and some food. 

    Talks
    This year, we will have two longer talks about crop circles instead of 6 short ones. 

    Crop Circles, Bridge between the Physical and Metaphysical”, by Geert Horringa
    In 2009 Geert was introduced to the crop circles by his then significant other. He stumbled on the owl crop formation near Woodborough Hill. That changed his worldview forever. Being based in social sciences, Geert started to search for an answer how the world of hard science could be combined with metaphysical phenomena, finding that crop circles are in fact the bridge between the two. In this talk, Geert will explain how he came to these findings and what that means for modern science as well as the word of spirituality.

    “Crop Circles, 30 years on” by Roeland Beljon
    Crop circles have always been there. The first report dates from the year 815. In the nineties the phenomenon exploded in numbers, complexity and beauty. Together with his partner Nancy, Roeland has been chasing crop circles since they saw their first one in 1994. In this talk Roeland will show the history of crop circles from the first one until today. Based his own experiences and many images he will explain how crop circles were researched in the early years and how his view on crop circles has changed over the years. Finally he will show his findings after 31 years of crop circling.

    Roeland Beljon
    Roeland is a Sociology major and has been working in the field of mobility management and environmental consultancy for over 26 years. He has been visiting Wiltshire and the Crop Circles together with Nancy Polet since 1994. In 1995 they joined the Dutch Centre for Crop Circle Studies. A group of croppies that is still going strong today. Roeland has been chairman of the DCCCS for the past 12 years. In 2010 Roeland and Nancy founded Sky High Creations to bring together like minded people. Since then they have organised hundreds of lectures, workshops and symposia on frontier sciences and spiritual growth.  

    Music
    Fraukje Ramona Weishaupt is a Dutch musician, composer and harpist. She studied clarinet at the conservatory of Amsterdam. She is also a keen crop circle enthusiast, which led to the creation of several crop circle compositions on the harp. Every year Fraukje will do a small concert in a crop circle which has a very different feel from playing in a venue. The crop circle energy enhances the music. Tonight she will perform her crop circle pieces as well as several other of her own spiritually inspired compositions on the harp and the clarinet.

    PandoraStar Light & Sound Bath by CHRYSALIS FREEDOM
