Golden ratio, golden mean, divine proportion, phi, 1:1.618...,
'precious jewel', golden section, divine cut - and the list goes on.
This unique ratio (logos) has intrigued and inspired the world's greatest minds. We see it embodied in the art and architecture of the ancients. It permeates the fruits of the world's manifold sacred/cultural traditions; the majority of the fruits that we eat also embody a fivefold quality! Euclid (325 - 265 BC) first defines what seems to have been hitherto a revered sacred secret occasionally alluded to within the oral tradition. It is one of the fundamental patterns of creation and informs the cosmos at every level of being. It hovers around the famous Fibonacci sequence (1.1.2.3.5.8.13.21.34.55...) and phyllotaxis patterns. Da Vinci and Durers' meticulous studies of human proportions reveal an abundance of phi forms. The research of two contemporary astronomers/cosmologists, John Martineau (UK) and Hartmut Warm (GER), reveal and confirm an array of golden ratio relationships within our Solar System and beyond! The five 'Platonic Solids' reverberate with it's presence ...
SacredArtofGeometry's (SAOG Studios) Golden Ratio, introductory three-day course, is primarily practical i.e. this 'divine ratio' is experienced through the doing of it as we make, model, and weave forms and patterns that
sing with 'golden meaning'!
Each activity is presented in a gently guided, step-by-step manner; the course is thus suitable for those with no prior geometry/mathematical experience and also those more familiar with the subject.
"Thank you for a truly wonderous few days and for sharing your love and calm teaching methods that encompass the Golden Ratio and all that you do!"
"Huge thanks for an inspiring time in the studio: a wondrous gathering ...
guided with such skill and demeanour in a gentle, profound way. ..."
"Learning about the art of proportion - specifically the golden ratio - in your beautiful studio and in such lovely company, has been a deeply enriching and profound experience. I must admit to having had some trepidation at the start of the course having had virtually zero prior experience in hands on pattern construction ... your clear and patient approach to teaching these wonderful patterns quickly allayed any anxiety.
Thank you. I'll certainly be back for more courses."
