THE ART OF THE EVER-TRUE
“May all be guided by truth.
May we all have beauty revealed to us.
And, May it result in the Good”
EXPLORING ONENESS …..
Yoga unites us thru our bodies, minds and spirit. We are one in our classes. Geometry is like that too. A square is different than a circle. We are one in our agreement of that. How we express this common understanding and agreement becomes our personal Art/Creation.
FINDING THE SACRED IN THE STILLPOINT…
Constructing various patterns by such simple means satisfies the brain and warms the heart. Feelings of harmony, satisfaction, and delight arise….as does frustration, perfectionism, and self-judgement. The Vedic practices of Yoga teach us how to stay centered thruout.
Drawing the ‘creation’ patterns with the traditional geometer’s tools of compass and straightedge, in this mindful way, becomes an in-the-body experience that words can’t describe.
WHO IS THIS FOR? WHO BENEFITS?
These studies attract a diverse group of practitioners. Anyone & everyone can learn something. I have been in classes with: artists, hobbyists, architects, musicians, teachers: math, science, art, philosophy, physics, dance, astrologers, psychologists, therapists, alternative therapies, yoga and meditation teachers.
Some added benefits include:
- Stress Reduction
- Removal of obstacles to one’s creativity,
- Increased Self-Awareness
- Creates community & supports common purpose
- Advances mindfulness practices
Workshop Description.
A multicultural/spiritual approach to the construction of geometric patterns using a compass and a straight edge, the traditional tools of the geometer.
Short lecture will demonstrate how geometric patterns show up everywhere. I.e. Sacred Geometry.
The process offers something safe, joyful and therapeutic. Each time we place the compass point our minds quiet. Whether we are drawing circles, squares, triangles, spirals or mandalas, each session offers an opportunity to finding the still point within themselves.
Although each workshop offers a different pattern, the format of the class will remain the same. Social Silence is encouraged, thus increasing Mindfulness. This helps in creating a safe space for those using this activity as a spiritual practice.

THE ART OF THE EVER-TRUE…
A multi-cultural exploration of geometric patterns.
Bring a workshop to your location.
Why Geometry?
Geometry is the study of shapes and spatial relationships. and, it can be seen as a way t understand the pysical/natural world and its structures. Feng Shui, Vastu Shastra, Geomancy & Medicine wheels are ways geometry informs us.
With it’s focus on shape, patterns and symmetry it is considered sacred in that it displays the underlying structure of the universe. These principles are something that is universally agreed upon…no one argues the shape of a square.
To do nothing more than draw some of these simple patterns is not just therapeutic, but euphoric and joyful, for that is our “Buddah Nature”, is it not?
The process offers something that feels free and safe, where the mind can unfold, reflect and shed some of the chatter.

Tools of the Trade
Compass The compass is your most important tool and I urge you to get the best one you can find. Here’s one to look for. The attachment to hold different pens is great.
Straight Edge (ruler/triangles)
Hard & Soft Pencils, Sharpener, Erasers
Drawing Paper 8×10 or larger, 11×14 is fun.
Tracing paper, masking tape, soft pencil and spoon for transferring patterns. We might not get this far in one workshop, but you’ll need this for later.
Coloring patterns might be the best part of the process for some. Anything can be used: colored pencils, markers, pastels, paints, etc. It’s totally up to you.
I will not be instructing the coloring but participants are welcome to bring whatever supplies they choose to color it in. Other supplies will be suggested as we go along. The compass is the most important.
