Coming Soon! Welcome to Crop Circle Explorers!

Crop Circle Explorers is our popular series of online courses designed and presented by Geoff Fitzpatrick and Karen Alexander that aim to dive deeply into the crop circles and some of the related phenomena that surround them. With a focus upon the experiential, we will be combining drawing, geometry, art and the psyche to create a unique view of each formation we explore.

In this course we will be exploring in depth the beautiful crop circle that appeared at Cley Hill, in Wiltshire during the summer of 2010

his amazing circle was noted for its three-dimensional design – a cube with its corners removed!

It was also special because of the fact that it contained three states of crop within its design. Normally circle designs are composed from two states of crop – standing and flattened, however, this formation has a third state, sections that were partially standing and partially flattened.

This formation is rich and deep in symbolism and meaning, making it a great candidate for one of our deep dives.

In this course, we will draw this circle, create our own unique mandala from its shape and explore and discuss the symbolism and meaning of the number six, the cube, and that third state of crop, signifying higher dimensional space.

Join us as we dive deeply into this fascinating crop circle!

About our New Course

Explore more deeply

Each course will explore just one crop circle, allowing us time to really look deeply at what each circle reveals to us and to follow and tease-out many of the threads that they present us with.

The language that underpins phenomenon

We will be unpacking their geometry, numbers and ratios, inviting you to re-create each circle for yourself as part of fully immersing yourself in this beautiful mystery. Together we will explore the language that underpins the phenomenon and learn about the implicit order and creative principle it reveals.

The transformation of personal and human consciousness

In equal measure, we will also be giving time to looking at and sharing how these magnificent shapes and designs impact us personally, using specially designed visual and meditative exercises, alongside our drawing. We will look at the role of synchronicity and intuition as we allow each circle to work its magic on us and develop our drawings into modern-day mandalas.

All of this while having fun in a tribe of like minded people!

About Geoff Fitzpatrick

Geoff Fitzpatrick was introduced to mandalas whilst studying the pioneering work of Carl G Jung and has spent the past 15 years exploring the intersection of geometry, spirituality and psychology through these symbols. Working with mandalas has opened Geoff to the profound power geometry possesses to influence states of consciousness. The construction of sacred sand mandalas during Geoff’s Mandalanature sessions opens people to a deeper aspect of themselves by blending creativity, geometry and mindfulness in a unique and special way. In addition to his studies at Trinity College and the Milltown Institute, Geoff has trained with Dr. Stanislav Grof MD learning a psychotherapeutic technique called Holotropic Breathwork.This is default placeholder text.
