What
is Sacred Geometry?
Sacred geometry is the configurative language of the force that
gives birth to all life.It offers a direct conduit to prime
consciousness...to Source. This sacred language passes the
perimeters of the intellect
to transmit knowledge that exists beyond the reach of religion,
philosophy, belief or disbelief.
Sacred
Geometry is a pure language that cares not for the country
of our birth or the colour of your skin, it seeks only to unify
humanity by exposing the interrelating harmony that lies at the
heart of our own creation.
Conscious
communion with sacred geometry is a fundamental aspect of or
awakening.
As
we commune with sacred geometric forms we interact with their
fields of informational influence. Their energetic radiance emits
a frequency that co-responds with the vibrator infrastructure
of our DNA in search of a like frequency with which to resonate.
In
order to understand the implicate order of our own creation
we need to expose ourselves to the simplicity of the lanuguage
in which it is written...

body, reducing stress

Increasing creativity – greater connection to one’s
life force

and appreciation

Emotional freedom – letting go of self-judgement and
guilt

Releasing fears – healing one’s limiting beliefs,
fears and panics
Breathwork uses the process of Conscious Connected Breathing to support your
own natural body healing as you lie fully clothed in relaxed surroundings (for
more information on Breathwork, see the British Rebirth Society Website: www.rebirthingbreathwork.co.uk)
As well as Breathwork, there will be other group activities and individual
reflection time with the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful ancient woodlands
