Crop Circle Conference 2010 - Circles of Knowledge Summer Conference
Marlborough As a crop circle reserach group, our main interest will of course be crop circles, but we feel that it is time to bring in other subjects to our Summer Conference that we often find overlapping in our search for knowledge. We are finalising the Speakers now for next year's event and we hope to build on previous years by inviting a more diverse group of presenters to share their special subjects. We hope to bridge the gap between ancient knowledge and new discoveries while of course still focusing on one of the biggest mysteries surrounding us every Summer - the Crop Circles themselves. Please put these dates in your diaries now, 13th, 14th & 15th August 2010 - the new three day event!

12-12-09 The Wake Up Call Conference
Fife

Mankind is potentially heading towards a police state control grid, of an Orwellian Huxley nightmare, is this the future of mankind? or is there another chapter.

There is a co-ordinated effort by our so-called world leaders, in collaboration with the corporate controlled mass media, military-industrial complex, multinational corporations, to use manufactured global crises to establish a ‘New World Order'. This term which has been frequently used in the media in recent times, but what does it mean? That there will be global control in the form of a, One World Government, One World Army, One World Currency and a One World Religion.

There is, however, an alternative view of world history and current events. This view of history and events will be eloquently presented at The Wake Up Call, after we have shown our delegates, through well researched evidence and facts, and once the veil of deception has been lifted you will see, what is really going on around us and that truth shall set you free.

The aim of The Wake Up Call is to educate and make the public aware of this global conspiracy, this is especially important whereas this is not disclosed by the mainstream media. If your visiting this website for the first time welcome, if not then you will be probably aware that something is not quite right in how events are being perceived. This conference will comprise a variety of speakers, given their unique presentations and only afterwards will you be able to connect the dots and see 'The Bigger Picture'. thewakeupcall.org.uk

   
05-12-09 - 06-12-09 Towards 2012: The Enchantment of Olympic London: Sacred Games, Places and Star Patterns
London

Conference of the Gatekeeper Trust. London has deep and complex traditions of myth, legend and history, overlaying a magical and sacred landscape that is located in an immensely powerful position geocosmologically from the point of view of both Britain and the whole world, and the times we are living in. The fact that the Olympic Games will be held in London in 2012, the same year as the world has the opportunity to step into a Golden Age, according to Mayan and other spiritual traditions, is of extraordinary significance. The geomantic power and underlying sacred nature of London, when properly
recognized and utilised, coupled with the magic of friendly enthusiasm, focused attention and superb performance that Olympic sport can generate, has the chance to work great wonders. It may indeed hold the final key to lifting human consciousness en masse into the Golden Age. Log on to www.gatekeeper.org.uk

19-09-09- 20-09-09 London Crop Circle Conference. The Doors of Perception
Kensington, London

The London Forum has been hosting meetings in central London since 1995, with talks by many leading researchers in
the Crop Circle phenomenon and increasingly exploring many mysteries from ancient history, more recent times and also
information and theories about matters that are a cause of great interest to us all now.

We grew out of the old Centre for Crop Circle Studies, which closed in 1995. The focus then was scientific with some
esoteric research. Who makes the Circles? Where are the artists from? What are they telling us? How can we decode
them? There were never conclusive answers, and perhaps no new questions to ask... then. And the phenomenon developed into ever more beautiful events in the fields. Wild theories flourished, some circles proven to be made by people, (as though that alone should strip them of any meaning). Through all the derision and scepticism the crop formations keep coming back each summer, never yet giving up all their secrets; attracting people from all round the world, theatres of opportunity for peaceful meetings, new friendships and the sharing of experience and delight.

Knowledge empowers us. There is so much more to learn from the past of every era, from the very now. Even more, if it
is transmitted through a matrix of deepening spirituality and sensitivity, enriching our lives and experiences, leading us on
through Doors of Perception. Venue: Kensington Town Hall

Conference of the European Pagan Academic and Education Network (EUROPAEN)

Rhos Gallt, Llanerfyl, Powys, Wales

The conference is about all aspects of paganism and how they are studied and taught in the UK and internationally, particularly but not exclusively in the British Isles . It is being held in Aberystwyth to enable delegates to hopefully explore the collections of the National Library of Wales and the nearby Institute of Advanced Celtic Studies as well as to enjoy the beautiful scenery and sea air. Excursions to Bardsey Island and Llanfair Caereinion, home of Taliesin, and other sacred sites connected to Druidry are also to be arranged.

We are inviting any academics, teachers and educators in the UK who are either known as practicing pagans, or who have an academic interest in paganism as a field of study, interpreted in the broadest sense of the term. Topics addressed could include the study and practice of : Druidry, Wicca, shamanism, prehistoric religions, Classical Greek and Roman religions, Egyptian, Slavonic, Germanic, Norse and Anglo-Saxon religions, Amerindian religion, African, Polynesian, Indian and Asian religions etc. It is the purpose of the conference to advance scholarship and study into all aspects of paganism and to promote a healthy debate about the contributions of paganism to world civilisation and culture. In a world where religion is too often a force for polarization and conflict, we are keen to understand the creative overlap between faith communities and to explore the way that ancient oral pagan traditions often underlie the more recent revealed religions. Teachers interested in paganism and in reviewing the status of paganism on the national curriculum and in the statutory provision for Religious Education are also welcome and invited to attend. For further information on any aspect of the conference, or to offer a paper, please write to: PAEN, Rhos Gallt, Llanerfyl, Powys, Wales, SY21 0ER.

Pagans and Archaeology
Bristol University, Bristol Both contemporary Paganism and Archaeology share common origins in the enlightenment re-engagement with physical traces of the prehistoric past. Despite these shared roots, the relationship between archaeologists and pagans has often been portrayed as one of limited mutual comprehension and conflict, which may be seen to mimic wider societal tensions in the West between religion and science. The aim of this conference is to see how mutually beneficial opportunities for collaboration and co-operation can be taken forward.

Among the topics covered will be the current controversy surrounding calls for the reburial of prehistoric human remains (with many Pagans opposed to reburial), the place of Pagan values in the management of ancient landscapes and heritage, and the role of alternative archaeologies. Speakers include:

Ronald Hutton (University of Bristol) Orthodox and Alternative Archaeology: The Early Years, Will Rathouse (University of Lampeter) Stormy Heritage: interactions between the contemporary Pagan community and the Heritage industry/Archaeological community, Yvonne Aburrow (Pagans for Archaeology) Our silent ancestors: an exploration of responses to human remains and their context, Martin Smith (Bournemouth University) Balancing interests: making
decisions regarding prehistoric human remains, Tiffany Jenkins (University of Kent at Canterbury) Cultivating Claims: the
significant role of the museum sector, Robert Wallis (Richmond University) & Jenny Blain (Sheffield Hallam University) Stepping stones to common ground: negotiating paganism, archaeology and sacred sites, Graham Harvey (Open University) Animist Pagans and the present dead, Andy Letcher (Freelance writer) Fertile Imaginings: Challenging Popular
Conceptions of the Pagan, Joshua Pollard (University of Bristol) Whither Archaeology?

Venue: University: Department of Archaeology and Anthropology, 43 Woodland Road, Bristol BS8 1UU. Cost £25 / £20 (students/unwaged). For further information ailsa.laxton@bristol.ac.uk

4.00 PLAY: Colder than Here. In a review of the London West End production, John Peter wrote in The Sunday Times:
'Laura Wade's play is a 90-minute masterpiece, a jewel, dark but translucent. It is a play of love, death and grief that is hardest to bear, because it begins before the loved one dies.'
5.30 After-Play Discussion (20 minutes)
6.00 Meditation For friends and loved ones in the afterlife
6.30 Close (Exhibitions close at 4.30)

Walking the Sacred Path of Shambhala
Central Highlands, Scotland

A wonderful opportunity to experience and connect with a unique part of planet Earth on the spiritual World Axis. This would appear to be a primary point on the planet for downloading the Evolutionary Codes of the Universal Christos into the planetary and racial consciousness.

Ground breaking research from author Barry Dunford (Vision of Albion: The Key to the Holy Grail) reveals the true location of the famed Shambhala, the geographical centre on Earth for the overlighting guidance and direction from the higher Spiritual Realms. Traditionally believed to be located in the region of the Eastern Himalayas, Barry's research shows that the true geographical location of Shambhala is to be found in the West. Previously known only to the highest adepts, Shambhala appears to reside at the heart of the Holy Land of Scotland.

The weekend includes an illustrated talk by Barry Dunford which provides the background research that pinpoints the spiritual World Axis of Shambhala in Celtic Scotland. Barry will also act as a guide to local sacred sites, contributing his knowledge of this special area. Sheila Charlett lives in Scotland and is a healing therapist and intuitive who teaches spiritual science. In 2006 Sheila was guided to develop the Shambhala Network of Light and has since led earth-healing meditational groups internationally. More recently Sheila was guided to work with Diamond Light Body meditations, and will lead these meditations at the sacred power sites. Working with the Shambhalic teaching of the Diamond Light Body meditation, you are invited to partake in integrating the Shambhalic Light Codes into your personal DNA, whilst activating primary sacred power sites on the earth grid.

REINCARNATION, KARMA & THE SPIRITUAL PATH
Tekels Park, Camberley The Foundation for Theosophical Studies in conjunction with the Southern Federation of the Theosophical Society in England presents a Spring Conference. Speakers Include: Peter Barton an electrical engineer, manager and member of the Theosophical Society for many years, National President of the TS in England 1998-99, and well-known touring lecturer for the TS. Peter's talks will be:
1) Reincarnation: the Evidence & the Implications
Although it is increasingly accepted in general terms, the idea of reincarnation is often vague. Here is an attempt to give a clear picture of what reincarnation is and what it isn't, what evidence there is and what it all means.

2) One Man's Perspective on Reincarnation, Karma and the Spiritual Path
Arising mainly from two statements:
HP Blavatsky: ‘The evolutionary task of humanity is the spiritualization of matter'
Esoteric Buddhism: ‘Divine Motive to see its powers reflected, through Great Mirror Wisdom, in the World of Action'
Leading to a possible ‘Sequence for Perfect Action'

John Holden - President of the Leicester Lodge of the TS. He has been a research and development engineer, a clergyman, a college lecturer and a Jiu Jitsu instructor. He is currently a Shiatsu practitioner.
John's talks will be:
1) Reincarnation: A Personal Odyssey
Personal recollections of past life experiences and consideration of related issues such as group soul recognition, split souls, life between lives, future life planning and the transmigration of the individuality.

2) Hypnotic Regression: Life Between Lives
An examination of the work of Dr Michael Newton and Dr Brian Weiss. Their many case studies of hypnotised subjects' reveal astonishing similarities with theosophical beliefs, irrespective of the subject's cultural and religious background. Has this ground breaking work been ‘given to us' to assist our evolution now we are in the Age of Aquarius?

George Wood a teacher by profession and leader of the Gnostic Christianity Study Group at TS London Headquarters. He has researched and lectured extensively on Gnostic Christianity.
George's talks will be:
1) Alchemical Wedding of Soul & Spirit – with emphasis on Karma & Reincarnation
The Alchemical Wedding of Christian Rosycross is the spiritual union of the bride with the bridegroom, of the new soul state with the perfect spirit. It is therefore, the ultimate goal of the pupil of the mysteries. The Alchemical Wedding describes the path of how a pupil approaches this goal and the unification with the spirit - a process that takes place over seven days, in seven stages.

2) Another Heaven & Another Hell. An exploration of the worlds encountered after death. It deals with Heaven/Hell being concepts/states of consciousness linked directly to Karma and Reincarnation.

The programme is now available and all enquiries & bookings should be sent to: Helen Green, Conference Booking Secretary. Tekels Park Guest House has a limited amount of accommodation, so be sure to book early to secure your place and avoid disappointment. As usual Day Visitors are most welcome. www.theosophical-society.org.uk

Mystics and Scientists 32. The Science of Happiness and the Experience of Bliss
Winchester

Venue: University of Winchester
FRIDAY 3rd April Opening Wine Reception followed by dinner and introductions

David Lorimer: Can Happiness be Pursued?
David Lorimer is Programme Director of the Scientific and Medical Network and Vice-President of Wrekin Trust. He is editor of The Spirit of Science, Thinking Beyond the Brain and Science, Consciousness and Ultimate Reality. His book on the Prince of Wales's philosophy and work Radical Prince, has been translated into French, Spanish and Dutch.

4th April Rev. Dr. Matthew Fox: Happiness and Bliss and the Return of the Sacred Masculine
Are men happy? Are women happy? Are men making women happy? Might both men and women be happier if both moved beyond a distorted view of masculinity and recovered more of the Sacred Masculine? Just as the Divine Feminine and the Goddess have returned through women's expanded consciousness in our time, so it is time that the Sacred Masculine, lagging behind and serving Empire-building in its present forms of punitive fatherhood, be excavated and renewed. We will explore healthy and ancient archetypes and metaphors for awakening the Sacred Masculine.

Prof. Lord Richard Layard: Can our Children be Happier than Us?
Richard Layard argues that there is a paradox at the heart of our lives. Most people want more income. Yet as societies become richer, they do not become happier. This is not just anecdotally true, it is the story told by countless pieces of scientific research. We now have sophisticated ways of measuring how happy people are, and all the evidence shows that on average, people have grown no happier in the last fifty years, even as average incomes have more than doubled. Will our children overcome this paradox in view of the fact that the First World has more depression, more alcoholism and more crime than fifty years ago?

Shakti Maira: Bliss & Beauty - An Indian Vision
The purpose of philosophy in India is not knowledge but transformation. The word for philosophy, darshan is seeing and is most frequently used in the religious sense of going to a temple, to an image of a deity or to a guru. All of these are lenses through which one's vision is directed and focused to cognize reality more clearly. It was thought that the ultimate aim of consciousness is to experience Ananda, bliss and transformative joy, and experiencing this was considered the heart of the aesthetic experience. The movement of the human spirit towards ananda furnished the central purpose of all the classical arts in India. The classical Indian aesthetic philosophy and its practice in the arts will be outlined with an eye on the relevance of these ideas in the contemporary world, with a special emphasis on the connections between beauty and bliss in the arts, and in other social and life systems.

Shantha and Devika Rao, Annapurna Dance Company - Expressions of Ecstasy
The evening performance will embody the title of Shakti's lecture, when the magical Annapurna Indian dancers share their close affinity with the God of dance Shiva and the joy of dancing, revealing an inner sense of liberation. The belief that life is part of great rhythmic process of creation, new beginnings and natural endings sparkled the imagination of the ancient Hindus. And this is reflected in the dance of Shiva Nataraja, the great cosmic dancer. His dance embodies layers of symbolism, celebrating the bliss and eternity of life itself. Shiva literally means auspiciousness, truth and beauty. Annapurna Indian dancers attempt to search this wonderful experience whilst bringing fresh interpretations of the mythology and mysticism behind their vibrant traditional and rhythmic dances using storytelling and stunning costumes.

SUNDAY 5th April

Dr. Peter Malinowski: The Happy Brain: The Psychology and Neuroscience of Meditation
Studies from psychology and cognitive neuroscience suggest a variety of positive effects of sustained meditation practice on brain function, well-being and the experience of happiness. This talk will provide an overview of accumulating empirical evidence in this field and relate it to a theoretical framework of mental balance, well-being and sustainable happiness. It will show how ancient Buddhist ideas of extraordinary well-being and current psychological ideas of happiness can work in unison.

Dr. Carol Craig: Positive Psychology: A Common Sense Perspective on Happiness
Positive psychology aims to be a major development not just in psychology but in social science. It also aims to affect practitioners and the public by bringing the learning from the ivory tower to the main street. The Centre for Confidence and Well-being, run by Dr Carol Craig, is one of the main organisations in the UK to disseminate the findings and ideas from positive psychology. In this talk Carol Craig will briefly explain the history and main pillars of positive psychology and why her organisation has been keen to work with its ideas. She will outline how its research can be useful in counteracting the materialism of the age and empower individuals to make better choices for their lives. However, Carol will also warn of what she sees as the potential dangers of positive psychology particularly for young people. www.scimednet.org
