Scott Olsen, author of "The Golden Section," Lance Harding, world expert on canons of human proportion, Dan Duddy "Zome" model-maker extraordinaire, Zachariah Gregory, and Alex Grey offered a rare download of sacred geometric and cosmic wisdom to lucky participants at CoSM this past weekend. Scott took us to the Platonic and Pythagorean roots of the divine ratio, the golden proportion, offering various ways to visualize and recognize PHI and phi, the Fibonacci sequence, and the Lucas numbers as they appear in Nature. Lance Harding shared his exhaustive study of Egyptian and Greek statuary, replicating and confirming Father Desiderius's canon of proportions. Alex was inspired by and has integrated Lance's brilliant research in the diagrams of Adam and Eve on the front doors of CoSM. Zachariah precisely and profoundly demonstrated the "squaring the circle" and supported the entire class. Alex shared the hidden meaning behind CoSM's Eye of Spirit, including his discovery of the golden section in the design.

Thanks so much to my hosts at CoSM, to Scott Olsen, and Lance Harding for setting aside time for me to share my end of this research, and to the participants for listening to yet another speaker. I know there was already so much going on and even with 2 days we were scrambling to find time to cover everything we hoped to.
So I hope to hear from some participants from this workshop. As a follow up I would like to organize a hands-on exploration of the Zome system and how the Golden Section manifests in 3 dimensions and higher.
Thanks,
Dan Duddy
