Come join us for a one day course where we'll explore the fascinating world of Sacred Geometry!

Sacred Geometry is the universal design language of the cosmos. It is an ancient science that explains and explores the energy patterns that create and unify all things. It reveals the precise way of the energy of Creation organises itself, from the spirals of galaxies to the intricate designs of a snowflake.

Sacred geometry has been used over the centuries by architects and designers to create harmonious and beautiful temples, mosques, churches, synagogues and palaces.

The same forms and patterns have been used in each faith buildings in all corners of the world.

This course is an introduction to some basic two dimensional geometry and is suitable to everyone and anyone who is interested in learning to understand some basic simple geometry, and with what we can create lovely patterns.

We will be using the ancient drawing tools: a pencil, ruler and a compass.

You will learn to use a compass and become confident in using it, and you will learn to draw simple four fold and eight fold patterns, and in the end we can add to our patterns some biomorphic designs.

What do I need to bring with me?

• A reasonably hard pencil or two
• Sharpener
• Rubber
• 30cm ruler
• Sturdy compass (it can be simple but needs to be sturdy).
• One colour pencil or an ink pen
