The Science of Shape
To begin we’ll explore the discoveries of Western science over the past 40 years, and what they tell us about the shapes that matter and energy follow in our world. In lay-person’s terms, we’ll explore what vibrational physics, electro-magnetism, cymatics, DNA, and holography can teach us about how we perceive the world around us, and how nature uses specific patterns to maximize energy efficiency, and create stable systems.
The Seed, Flower and Fruit of Life
Starting with the circle, we yield a 6-fold geometry instantly. From this initial “Seed of Life” comes all the forms that we could possibly create. We’ll explore the history of the Seed and Flower of Life in ancient traditions, and explore through drawing how this 6-fold pattern gives birth to the torus, the vector equilibrium, and the 5 platonic solids.
The Perfect Number Phive
Once we’ve had the opportunity to unpack triangles, squares and hexagons from the Seed of Life, we’ll explore the magic of the pentagon and its Golden Section – the ratio that is at the heart of all living systems. We’ll explore why and how life uses this ratio to grow, and how we can draw it.
The Starcut Diagram
In the centre of the mundane, boring square, lives a simple diagram of 8 lines, that unlocks the door to proportion, the cosmos, the harmonies of music, and much more. Exploring the pattern with compass and straightedge, we’ll deepen our knowelge of what underlies the principles of resonance, form, and structure.
