"Drawing rituals with Adam Williamson ~ Profound Patterns" Art Meditation Series 

Sacred Geometry of the East + West

Plants grow in perfect order, the planets circle above us in harmony, sound waves oscillate sequentially, and the rhythms and cycles of the atmosphere swirl around us. These patterns are all interconnected and manifest everywhere in seen and unseen realms. What is this formula? Find out a in series of drawing meditations this August.

Working with traditional tools of compass and straightedge we will draw profound patterns that have been central to traditions across the world. These forms offers us a tangible connection with nature and a Divine source, and the gradual process of building/drawing them is an elevating and transformative experience.

Patterns in Space

Wednesday ~ 7-9pm 9th August

There are only five regular three dimensional solids. Known as the Platonic Solids, sets of these structures have been found at ancient sites dating from the neolithic period, some 2000 years before Plato. 

For the ancient Greeks and Egyptians each of these forms had a special symbolism and together they were seen as the building blocks of the Universe. In this session we will draw and embody these ancient forms.

What to expect:

• The workshop begins with a brief contextual talk exploring the connections between the patterns found within the natural world and solar system. 
• Then, through geometric drawing, we investigate the principles that control the evolution of pattern over two dimensional space.
