Bradfield (Lecture, 14.00 - 15.00 Saturday 14th August)
"Somewhere up above, friends sharing these symbols of Love…" Inspired by stunning crop formations found in the fields of Wiltshire over the past ten years, Canadian artist/composer/author Bradfield presents an insightful exploration into the creative process behind his "Sacred Signs" and brand new "Sacred Signs II" albums. Sharing both intuitions and glimpses into his artistic approach as well as his translations of sacred geometry into melodic music, his words echo his compositions, speaking directly to the heart. With eighteen unique albums to his credit ranging from sacred vocal music to solo piano, Bradfield draws inspiration from everything that makes a profound impression on his Soul. This spring, he penned and published his first audiobook entitled "Reconnecting with our Divinity", a theme he presented in overview at last year's WCCSG conference. Bradfield's melodic, lyrical compositions have been attributed by Shelley Yates (Fire the Grid) as holding embedded tones to aid in the ascension of humanity to the next paradigm. Aspiring to raise the collective consciousness all while granting unfettered expression to his creative muse, driven from one challenge to another by an impulse greater than himself, Bradfield is a devoted advocate of "purity of intention", relying predominately on his intuition to steer him and his listeners ever so gently toward the Light.
Bradfield - Live Performance, 7.30pm - 9.00pm Saturday 14th August
Canadian artist/composer/author Bradfield presents a world premiere live piano performance of selected pieces from his "Sacred Signs I & II" albums accompanied by stunning photo images of the Crop Circles which inspired the original music.
Francine Blake (11.15 – 12.15 Sunday 15th August)
The founder of the Wiltshire Crop Circle Study Group and Editor of its 'Spiral' magazine, Francine has studied the crop circles and the symbols they express for over 20 years. She has lectured at conferences all over the world including the USA, Canada, Brazil, South Africa and in Europe.
Glenn & Cameron Broughton (17.00 – 18.00 Saturday 14th August)
Glenn has long been fascinated by sacred sites and crop circles, 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. Cameron was introduced to crop circles and the ancient sacred sites of England in 1996 and has been visiting them ever since. She has been particularly interested in the energetic qualities of the phenomena and the holistic effects that the crop circles have on humanity and the present evolutionary shift of consciousness.
Together Glenn and Cameron guide people to explore sacred sites and crop circles through Sacred Britain Tours. They also organise the Earth Spirit Initiative conferences in Vermont, which Cameron officiates. Glenn has been the keynote speaker for the American and Canadian Society of Dowsers Annual Conventions. Glenn and Cameron have appeared on television and radio and regularly present at conferences on both sides of the Atlantic.

Jay Goldner (11.15 – 12.15, Saturday 14th August)
Jay has investigated the realms behind the obvious since his youth. After studying architecture in Austria he went to Asia for some years, which triggered his interest in the more subtle worlds and in obtaining a holistic understanding of reality. Having gained a great deal of personal experience in these fields, he has written nine books about the so-called paranormal (mostly in German). He first got involved with crop circles in the late eighties and has since b ecome addicted to the phenomenon. He is the founder of the Austrian research team called The Phoenix Group and every year presents his newest findings and those of the group at an international conference. He has also initiated several large crop circle exhibitions and two years ago founded the world’s first crop circle museum in a farm house in Austria.
Jay's lecture: Ancient Codes in New Clothes
There is in fact nothing new in the universe - although the basics are retold to us in numerous variations again and again. From time immemorial up to the present only the design of the messages has changed, the blueprint of the cosmos is still the same. What is especially enlightening today is the comparison of the age old and very new ways mankind is given hints to awaken him to a higher reality behind the 3D-world of duality. Crop circles have an enormous potential to initiate us into this extended world view. By taking a closer look at the similarities of the symbolic and mathematical-geometrical lessons of then and now, we get one glimpse after the other enabling us to fit the puzzle pieces of knowledge together to attain a greater perception of the whole of universal wisdom.

Peter Knight (15.15 – 16.15, Sunday 15th August)
Peter's lecture: Shamanic Landscapes of the Earth and of the Mind
Peter returns with another inspiring presentation on his experiences over many years connecting with the landscape of Wessex and across Europe, as he has connected with the spirits of the Ancients. Through such practices as dowsing, meditating in crop circles, and shamanic journeying and drumming in ancient tombs, he has received profound revelations of wisdom he believes we can take us forward to create a better world. Now is the time to open our hearts and minds to the Earth Spirit.

Gordon Strachan (15.15 – 16.15, Saturday 14th August)
With our summer conference taking place in the shadows of the Merlin Mound – the legendary burial place of Merlin, we are excited to have Gordon Strachan, author of the ‘Return of Merlin’ here to talk to us. Since writing that book, Gordon has been involved in other projects, the most recent of which is the 2009 film 'And did those feet ...' following the journey that Jesus would have made from Palestine to England to spend time here as a young apprentice. Gordon will introduce his film and will be available for questions after its showing.
Gordon's Presentation: 'And did those feet ...'
Maria Wheatley (10.00 – 11.00, Sunday 15th August)
Author and tutor, Maria Wheatley, has been teaching past life regression, reflexology, tarot and dowsing for Swindon College and the British School of Yoga for 15 years. Her late father, Dennis, was considered a Master Dowser who was a world authority on the geodetic system of earth energies. He taught Maria to dowse over 20 years ago. John Martineau of Wooden Books gave Dennis all the unpublished surveys and writings of the Master Dowser, Guy Underwood, which Maria has recently inherited. Inspired by the surveys, Maria is currently exploring Stonehenge for her next book.
Most Saturdays Maria gives regular dowsing tours of Avebury from The Henge Shop exploring both earth energies and ley lines within the monument. She also holds dowsing workshops at sacred sites, such as Avebury, the Uffington complex, Glastonbury, Stanton Drew and the Stonehenge environs.
Maria's Lecture: Rediscovering Avebury Henge and The Earth Force
Avebury is a regional power centre which holds many secrets. At specific times of the year the Sun and Moon interact with certain stones creating mysterious shadow lines and also linear lines of intense bright light, which were used in past rituals. Intriguingly, surrounding stone circles and mounds were aligned upon these light/yang and shadow/yin lines which can extend for miles and possibly inspired the ley line phenomena.
Powerful earth energies were also integrated into Avebury’s megalith architecture which are absorbed and transmitted by the standing stones – the electromagnetic frequencies of which were recently detected by sensitive electronic equipment. Further investigations revealed that when megalithic or earth energy is contained, by constructing certain stylised monuments, paraterrestrial activity causes mind-altering affects, time-lapses, and spirit manifestations. Maria describes which earthen and stone structures were designed to produce paraterrestrial affects and how to recognise and interact with the Earth Force within Avebury’s timeless landscape.
Lucy Wyatt (09.30 – 10.30, Saturday 14th August)
Lucy Wyatt and family live on an unspoilt farm by the east coast of England. The farm was derelict but had 600 year-old oak trees, woods, hedgerows and old buildings. It was a chance to explore living in harmony with Nature. The Wyatts now share this special place with many animals and their experiment includes the collection of rainwater for animal drinking; a 3-pond sewage system with Steiner-inspired flowforms; and a processor that uses Oil Seed Rape for high grade bio-fuel in farm machinery and a large electricity generator. But, apart from a grandfather who gave Lucy her love of horses, her family were not farmers. She grew up in the University town of Cambridge where her father was an architect (now in his 80s, he drew the illustrations in her book). Lucy, however, studied International Relations and Italian at Sussex University, and worked in London, lastly in the City of London where she met her husband. They moved to the countryside after their first daughter was born. As well as researching the ancient past, Lucy is also interested in Earth energies and now leads local Gatekeeper Trust pilgrimages on equinoxes and solstices.

Lucy's Lecture: Shamen, Megaliths & the City Builders: the hidden connections
We associate shamen with Peruvian jungle medicine men or smoke filled yurts on the Steppes; and megaliths with rough hewn dolmen on Salisbury Plain, but actually they have more in common with the original city builders than we realise. Lucy will explore the original archetype of cities and civilization that first appeared in Mesopotamia more than 6,000 years ago. she will identify many of its key elements and explain how farming, as we understand it, developed because of cities and not the other way round.
Most fascinating of all, Lucy has uncovered new evidence buried etymologically in Indo-European languages that confirm the existence of this archetype – even though those early precursors of Greeks, Celts, Romans, Indians (etc) were not civilized and did not live in cities until several thousand years later. And yet, the roots of their common language clearly reveals that they had contact with the civilisers.
The reason that we know about the individual Indo-European tribes is because at a certain critical moment there was a global disaster at the end of the 4th Millennium BC which caused them all to split up and search for new homelands. It was this disaster which was the stimulus for the civilisers to return to Egypt and become the most powerful example of the ancient blueprint for civilization.
Lucy will finish her lecture by discussing how the Egyptians, and other examples of civilization (the Mesopotamians, the Phoenicians, the Minoans, the Mayans etc), used shamanic ritual to access the knowledge that enabled them to build sophisticated urban existences.
Antoinette O'Connell & Ana Vidal – The Dragon Energy Center (10.30 – 11.00, Saturday 14th August)
The Dragonlight Essences were created by Antoinette O'Connell from Ireland and Ana Vidal from Brazil. They both already had extensive experience in healing work when they met in 2006. Ana had worked with refugees who were victims of torture and Antoinette had treated animals who were mistreated and abused. United by the mutual interest in researching ways to help heal the pain in the body and soul, as well as to strengthen the people and animals who they work with, they co-created the Dragonlight Essences. The essences will be on sale during the conference and this short presentation will be an introduction to their qualities.
