Richard Feather Anderson will be giving a slideshow "The Eight Patterns of Nature" on July 25, another slideshow "Geometry That Matters: Power of Creation, Laws of Harmony" on July 27, and a weekend workshop "Exploring the Symbolic Language of Geometry" July 28-29, 2007 (Friday evening through Sunday) in Ashland, Oregon. I had the pleasure of meeting Richard while attending a recent (MARVELOUS!) evening talk on labyrinths in Medford, following on the heels of the local regional labyrinth gathering here a few weeks ago featuring Jean Houston. Based on the enthusiastic response, this will be a more intensive follow-on workshop exploring labyrinths, sacred geometry, regional geomancy and much more. Since Richard and I complement each other's work, I will be assisting at this weekend workshop giving short multimedia presentations on topics that emphasize 3D and higher dimensional geometries. If you are interested, or would like to reserve a place in upcoming slideshow or workshops, contact Bonnie Bayard at 541-773-4286. The short presentations I give this weekend will be "samplers" of expanded workshops I'll be conducting in the southern Oregon area (or your vicinity!); contact me for details.
Here's more details from Richard:
What is Sacred Geometry all about and why should we care?
The Eight Patterns of Nature
Is it really true that Nature needs only eight patterns to create and sustain all life? Learn how spirals, meanders, and other dynamic patterns work for plants, animals, and the human body, and how free-flowing water purifies itself. The world will never look the same after viewing these astounding images and acquiring the ability to recognize cosmic patterns in ordinary things!
“Richard is the first person to explain the golden mean in a way I could understand.” – Jillian Brorby, feng shui consultant
The Geometry That Matters:
Power of Creation, Laws of Harmony
A visual introduction to the themes of the weekend workshop.
View a multitude of awe-inspiring images and awaken to the staggering recognition of the order and harmony of the universe. Learn about the essential role geometry plays in the continual creation of our universe. It is one of the greatest reservoirs of Nature’s laws of harmony. Sacred Geometry has the unique ability to depict the essence of a thing (by revealing its true underlying vibrational quality), rather than merely represent it metaphorically. Understand why knowledge of sacred geometry is crucial to be able to create beauty and ecologically sustainable culture, and design environments in harmony with Nature so they feed the human soul.
“You
gave the best presentation of the whole conference! I
learned more about sacred geometry from you in one
hour than from any other talk.” — Ursula Rabe, feng
shui consultant/astrologer and fine artist, Grass
Valley, CA
Exploring the Symbolic Language of Geometry
Geometry is the universe’s secret way to turn energy
into matter, and guide the growth of all forms of
life. It holds the real key to the identity of DNA, a
molecule, or an organism, and enables Nature to
implant intention and form harmonious, life-enhancing
relationships.
Learn about the benefits of tapping into this body of
knowledge, including the ability:
* To recognize spatial patterns more quickly and
accurately
* To read the geometry of a building as a language
that may reveal the symbolic message the original
builders wanted the edifice to embody and convey.
This seminar will be a rare opportunity to
re-discover geometry as a rich, universal, symbolic
language, which illuminates the core teachings of the
world’s spiritual traditions in a pure, non-dogmatic
way. (This obviously bears little resemblance to high
school geometry or math!) Richard's use of a
hands-on, visual, kinesthetic, Mystery School
approach restores geometry to its ancient sacred
function as a portal into meditation, soul-work, and
timeless wisdom.

“You
helped me get all the connections, including the
surprise of how geometry applies to group process.
When I’m with a teacher who loves what he’s doing, I
understand it in my body.” – Gail Gardener, massage
therapist

RECORDINGS
AND BOOKLETS BY RICHARD FEATHER ANDERSON
___ Booklet — The Patterns of Life — Description of
the eight patterns that Nature uses to create and
sustain all life on planet Earth. Each pattern allows
Nature to function efficiently, using the least
amount of energy and matter, thus conserving its
resources. Examples are given of how the patterns
manifest in the forms and dynamic forces of Nature.
Knowing these patterns enables you to see the world
more fully, understand the basis of feng shui, and
recognize the archetypal power of single-path
labyrinths. 5 pp.
