A series of workshops on Applied Astro-Geomancy integrated with Permaculture Design
Topics covered
Connecting with Outer Space - Effectively expanding the concepts of Ecology and Environment beyond our home planet to encompass our solar system and galactic neighbourghood. Why it is important that we increase our awareness of our actual place and deep connection to the Cosmos.
Connecting with Forgotten Time - A journey back in time to our forgotten pre-historical roots. A concise reconstruction of prehistoric culture, with its sophisticated science and cosmic outlook. The so-called Neolithic Agricultural Revolution and the massive changes that brought about territorialism and warfare, patriarchal religions, epidemics, super-population and the downgrading of the female, which have devolved us into our present state of ongoing self-destruction.
Our Exoplanetary Environment -The Heliosphere: Sun, Moon and rest of the planetary cohort. Orbital motions, cycles and their not-so-subtle influence on the Biospheric Realm. Visually aprehending planetary and stellar dynamics, free download and use of open source astronomy software. The Earth-Venus Mystery: the generation of harmonic patterns in the orbital relationships between Earth and Venus. Our place within our home galaxy. The zodiac, the ecliptic, the galactic equator, precessional drift.
Archaic Technology: the Fusion of Art, Science and Spirituality - The Golden Ratio explained, its intrinsic appearance throughout nature and its relation to self-reflective consciousness. Making your own 13-knot Egyptian Rope to construct the Vesica Pisces, the 3-4-5 Pythagorean Triangle, Golden rectangles and triangles. Making a clinometer. Ancient metrology. Multidimensional Numbers. An introduction to ancient calendars.
Astrotheology and Galactic Metaphysics - The astro-theological roots of myth and religion. The symbolic language of myth. The original meaning of Cosmos: Recovering the ancient mytho-poetic worldview that understood the Natural Order of the Universe as being intrinsically beautiful (aesthetic), purposefully practical (pragmatic) and profoundly nurturing for life and consciousness (ethical). The Silver Gate of Man and the Golden Gate of the Gods: galactic centre and anti-centre.
The Enchanted Forest Garden - Integrating permaculture, forest gardening, bio-architecture and landscaping with astrogeomantic principles, numerosophy, sacred geometry and metrology to meaningfully align and connect our designs with the macrocosmic patterns and cycles. Anchoring our awareness in the pre-historic wisdom to project our visions beyond the Kali Yuga of post-industrial civilization.
