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.
“A Night of Crop Circling, The Festival Edition”
On Wednesday July 30th 2025, Sky High Creations (Roeland Beljon and Nancy Polet) organise the evolution of the “Night of Crop Circling” entitled “A Night of Crop Circling, The Festival Edition”, right in the middle of Crop Circle Country at Smithy Art Forgery, Burbage, Wiltshire UK.
The main feature of the crop circle phenomenon is to connect people. As the numbers of actual crop circles in the fields are diminishing, the need for a space for croppies to come together is growing. In the previous 10 years we provided that space by means of an event that mainly revolved around lectures. For this day and age we want to provide an event with more space and time to have interesting conversation and discussion with likeminded people from different walks of life, but with one common interest: crop circles. In this Festival Edition the Night of Crop Circling features music, sound bath and of course lectures about crop circles. There will be plenty of food and drink available for everyone to make attending more pleasant.
Because this is a festival rather than an evening of lectures, we start earlier. That way, the event will be more relaxed and you will even be able to enjoy dinner on the spot.
This is an event for all crop circle enthusiasts that visit Wiltshire this summer.
Talks
This year, we will have two longer talks about crop circles instead of 6 short ones.
“Can we speak of the Parapsychology of the Crop Circles?”, by Geert Horringa
In 2009 Geert was introduced to the Crop Circles by his then significant other. He experienced a mystical revelation in a well-known crop formation near Woodborough Hill, the Owl. That changed his worldview forever. Having a background in social sciences, Geert started to research how the ‘one-worldly’ dimension of scientific and philosophical rationality could be reconciled with the neglected ‘other-worldly’ basis of metaphysical values, taking the crop circles as his point of departure. In this talk, Geert will trace the development of these questions and how far-reaching they can be philosophically.
Geert Horringa
Geert Horringa studied history and sociology. In 2010, in an important coming-out for his mood disorder, he co-founded the Dutch Depression Alliance (Nederlandse Depressie Vereniging).
While visiting the crop circles for the first time in 2009, he let the spiritual overtones of the experience work as a supporting factor in a long quest for better mental health. Inherently a writer with a delayed career, he is now slowly stepping forward with ‘croppie-influenced’ thinking in sociology and philosophy.
“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
PandoraStar is a flickering light arranged in a sacred geometrical pattern that is designed to simulate the brain’s natural production of neurochemicals for inducing altered states of consciousness similar to psychedelic experiences. Hendrick & Victoria will guide you whilst massaging your ears with a sound bath.
