Abstract: | Sacred Geometry is about the mathematics of Nature. In Nature everything exists, grows, and is shaped according to precise mathematical (geometrical) principles. And often these underlying mathematical principles are surprisingly simple, but at the same time give rise to the wonderful variety and beauty we see around us. In this lecture I will introduce some of the main principles and ideas of Sacred Geometry. After a short mathematical introduction on numbers and basic geometry, we will see how these principles apply to Nature and can be found everywhere. From the structure of our DNA to the proportions of the human body, from the Golden Spiral of the nautilus shell to the number of petals in pine cones and sun flowers, from Pythagoras and Fibonacci to Leonardo Da Vinci, and from the mysterious Platonic Solids to how they are hidden in the ancient symbol of the Flower of Life. |
