Our itineraries are designed to be flexible with this in mind and we are able to visit new crop circles within hours of them forming, when their energy is strongest.

Detailed 7 day Crop Circles and Sacred Sites journey itinerary:
Day 1, Mon 29 July
Meet at Heathrow airport at 11 AM. Travel in a comfortable minibus to our stay put hotel in Marlborough, Wiltshire. This charming market town received its royal charter as a town 807 years ago, and has a fine selection of buildings from many periods in history including the widest High Street in England, where street markets are still held, and Merlin’s Mound, a 5,000-year-old sacred site.
Enjoy a wide selection of shops, cafes, restaurants, markets and pubs within walking distance, as our hotel is conveniently located right in the center of town. The majority of crop circles each year occur within a 15-mile radius of our hotel.
After check in, enjoy lunch, rest up or explore the town before a late afternoon visit to our first crop circle, the perfect venue for a grounding and intention setting meditation.
Welcome dinner at Castle & Ball hotel
Day 2, Tues 30 July
After a hearty breakfast and a short orientation meeting to acquaint you with the powerful earth energies, ancient sacred sites and remarkable crop circles in the area, we venture out to experience more crop circles first-hand. Your expert tour guides, having been into hundreds of formations over 18 years, will show you what to look for and how to dowse for any present energies. What better way to learn about this amazing phenomenon than by being in the circles in the fields and having experts on hand for guidance and information?
Dr Gene Ang will lead the group through a Vortex healing energy session to assist in energetically releasing any-thing that may impede you from connecting with the Crop Circles. Connect with the circle makers during a guided invitation meditation.
Visit tranquil Knoll Down, a sacred grove of trees, originally the ‘tail’ of a Serpent Temple once connected to Avebury stone circle by an avenue of stones stretching for two kilometres. A similar avenue culminating at The Sanctuary (the ‘head’ of the Serpent Temple) led off in another direction.
Optional extra evening Quantum Spoon-bending workshop with Dr Gene Ang.
Own arrangements for dinner.
Day 3, Wed 31 July
Visit Avebury, the heart centre of megalithic Britain. Here, within the largest stone circle in the world, find the remains of two former stone circles, one solar and one lunar. All the sacred sites in this area centre on Avebury, including Stonehenge some twenty miles away. Powerful earth energy currents course through this landscape and this may well be one of the reasons why the majority of crop circles occur within a 10-mile radius of Avebury. Enjoy a 2 part guided meditation to balance masculine and feminine energy (completed at Chalice Well)
After lunch in Avebury, spend the afternoon visiting crop circles in the area and the infamous Silent Circle, a crop circle information centre.
Dinner at a local village pub
Day 4, Thurs 1 Aug
With much to assimilate and integrate, spend the morning at leisure enjoying Marlborough at your own pace and after an early lunch, visit crop circles in the area before visiting Michael Glickman. Michael has been in the forefront of crop circle research for over 20 years and has seen and heard it all. The group will have some exclusive time with the very entertaining Michael and every-one loves these visits.
For those that were not here for the crop circle conference weekend, we have an evening visit to Stonehenge. We have arranged for the group to have special private access into the stones of the worlds most famous sacred site. Touch the huge megaliths that have stood in magnificent isolation on the windswept Salisbury Plain for thousands of years; feel the pulse of powerful earth energy currents coursing beneath your feet; imagine the ceremonies that have been performed by robed priests over eons of time and take part in an exciting release ceremony. This is a rare opportunity to truly experience a site revered by countless generations up close and personal.
Optional extra late evening ET contact crop circle meditation with Dr Gene Ang (based on Steven Greer´s methodology)
Own arrangements for dinner.
Day 5, Fri 2 Aug
Spend the full day in Glastonbury, known as the Isle of Avalon.
Glastonbury Abbey, the birthplace of Christianity in England and referred to as the ‘holiest earth in England’, was once the largest and most powerful abbey in all of Britain. It is no coincidence that the dual energy currents of England’s most famous leyline cross at the site of the high altar. A grave in the centre of the Abbey ruins is reputed to have been the resting place of King Arthur and Guinevere.
Glastonbury is full of unusual shops selling everything from candles and incense to crystals, books and Goddess statues that you can peruse at your leisure during a long lunch break.
Rising dramatically from the flat land of the surrounding Somerset Levels, the huge natural mound of the Tor, surmounted by St. Michael’s tower, has been a beacon of spirituality since pagan times and still acts as a magnet for people of all beliefs. Be enchanted by the stories and legends, mesmerized by the spectacular views and imbued with the powerful energy and atmosphere of this sacred site.
Complete the day in Avalon with a visit to the beautiful and tranquil gardens of Chalice Well. This World Peace Garden is centered on an ancient spring, whose waters are reputed to have therapeutic properties and you are encouraged to drink from the holy well. A local legend states that the Holy Grail is hidden within the wellhead. We conclude the balancing energies meditation in this healing Mecca.
Own arrangements for dinner
Day 6, Sat 3 Aug

Those booked on the optional extra helicopter flight, will be whisked off to the local airfield for a flight over the crop circles in small chartered helicopters – giving a birds eye-view of the circle-makers exquisite works of art – a highlight for many!
After lunch, we return to the Avebury area to visit the remarkable five thousand year old man-made Silbury Hill. Across the field is West Kennet Long Barrow, an underground chamber used both as a tomb and a place of initiation. We will take advantage of its wonderful acoustics and experience a drumming and chanting healing session followed by visits to any close by crop circles and Dr Gene Ang will lead the group through a Vortex energy healing session to assist you energetically integrate your experiences from the journey.
