Ed Conroy – My long-distance love-affair with crop circles and earth energies.

Ed Conroy is the author of Report on Communion (Morrow, 1989; Avon, 1990), the result of his investigation of Whitley Strieber’s visitor experiences as related in his bestselling initial UFO-related book, Communion: A True Story.  He was also a contributor to The Communion Letters, writing articles on his visits to Dulce, New Mexico and Gulf Breeze, Florida, among other topics.  In the early 1990s he contributed in the Spanish language to the Barcelona-based magazine Más Allá de la Ciencia, writing on the crop circle phenomenon and other UFO-related topics.  He served in the 1980s and early ‘90s as an arts and culture writer and columnist for the San Antonio Express-News, in San Antonio, Texas, for which he has regularly contributed book reviews for the past 15 years.  He has served as a commentator and contributor to programming for San Antonio’s Public Broadcasting Service-affiliate KLRN-TV, and written essays on Mary Magdalene and profiles as well for the National Catholic Reporter.  For the past 27 years he has served as an administrator and director of development at such San Antonio arts institutions as he Carver Cultural Center, Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center, the San Antonio Symphony and, for the past 21 years, as director of development for Southwest School of Art, Texas’ only independent college of art.  Educated at California Institute of the Arts’ School of Critical Studies, the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, and the University of Texas at San Antonio, he is a fully bilingual and bicultural fourth-generation San Antonio with deep personal and cultural roots on both sides of the US-Mexico border.  He is the former husband of the late Dora Ruffner, and proud father to Brigid Conroy, now at Harvard Divinity School.

Presentation: My long-distance love-affair with crop circles and earth energies.
Ed Conroy will describe how anomalous experiences in nature as a boy, teenager and young man impelled him on a journey that led him to the practices of Zen meditation and dowsing plus study of the Tarot; to an incurable case of megalithomania; to research into UFO and close-encounter phenomena; and, for the last 29 years, to his long-distance (and, in 2003, up-close) love affair with crop circles.  He will offer suggestions as to how people who live far away from areas where crop circles appear may still connect, in consciousness, with their energies.
