The Dance of Earth and Venus
Description
Next course: 13 - 15 September 2024 The Dance of Earth and Venus results in one of the most beautiful and breathtaking rhythms and patterns of the solar system. Every eight Earth years (13 Venus years) they dance a pentagonal form in space akin to the pip-star inside your apple or the petals of a primrose flower! During this course we will learn how to draw the incredible patterns from both the geocentric and heliocentric perspectives using the traditional tools of compass and straight-edge; we will explore the key aspects of Earth and Venus' cycles that determine such extraordinary heavenly harmony. And time allowing ... with copper leaf and watercolour paint made from malachite and azurite - which in the Hermetic/Alchemical tradition have forever been associated with the planet Venus - we will create stunning mandalas embodying the Earth/Venus dance ... "Daniel Docherty is a rare gem as a teacher of sacred geometry. His courses are interactive and divinely transformative. Daniel brings a deep wisdom and grace to his teaching. Daniel’s studio is a spiritual space in which to work. If you wish to take a deep dive into the magical, alchemical world of sacred geometry, Daniel is a caring and nurturing master teacher." Elaine (Dance of Earth and Venus course participant 21 - 23 Oct. 22)
