About this Event
"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 Architecture ~ West ~ Chartres Rose window
Tuesday ~ 7-9pm 22nd August
In this final special session, we will draw the Stained glass window from Chartres cathedral.
According to mystical legend, the Druids believed Chartres to be a place where spiritual energy emanated from the earth and they worshipped at its grottoes, now a supposed part of the cathedral's crypt, which connected to a sacred spring.
