Scott Olsen – Academy of Sacred Geometry – Nature’s Elegant Ratio & the Canon of the Human Body

Discover Nature’s Elegant Ratio and the Canon of the Human Body: A Comprehensive 4-Day Sacred Geometry Workshop

Led by world-renowned experts Dr. Scott Olsen, Ph.D. and Dr. Lance Harding, Ph.D., this immersive 4-day workshop reveals the foundational principles of Sacred Geometry and the advanced applications of the Canon of the Human Body through the lens of the Divine Proportion and Nature’s Elegant Principles of Design.

“To those who know how to approach her, Nature will lift her veil revealing a stunning system of elegant aesthetic delights. The Golden Section appearing at the center of it all, may well be the foundation of the most beautiful ratio in Nature, and the very bond that holds everything together through ratio, resonance and self-similar harmony at all levels.”

Workshop Overview: Exploring the Mathematics of Harmony

This intensive program introduces students to how the Golden Section (Divine Proportion) serves as the root source of Nature’s Eurhythmic Principles of Design. Participants will witness the beauty, wisdom, and pervasiveness of this golden mean in everything from:

• DNA structures and plant morphology
• Animal and human proportions
• Solar system configurations
• Musical harmony and quantum physics
• Architectural marvels like the pyramids
• Natural phenomena such as hurricanes

Known to Plato and the initiates of classical Greece, the Golden Section’s ubiquitous presence provides the means for our progressive unfoldment into higher states of consciousness—what the ancients referred to as initiation into the mysteries.

Special Evening Lecture: Divine Proportion & the New Renaissance

Join Dr. Olsen and Dr. Harding for a visual presentation and discussion exploring:

• PROFOUND NEW INSIGHTS into the dominating role of the DIVINE PROPORTION
• Recent scientific discoveries, including the January 7, 2010 breakthrough where physicists empirically observed the Golden Section as the principle of symmetry at the heart of Quantum Mechanics
• The ANCIENT TRADITIONS and STUNNING DISCOVERIES regarding the underlying role of a GOLDEN SECTION centered SYSTEM OF DYNAMIC SYMMETRY

This special evening reveals how the Golden Section appears central to:

• PHYSICS (winding number, fine structure constant, quark masses)
• The PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS
• BIOLOGY (including PLANT PHYLLOTAXIS, GENETICS, and DNA structure)
• HEART physiology
• COMPUTER technology and ENCRYPTION
• ASTRONOMY and MUSIC
• WEATHER TURBULENCE
• The perception of BEAUTY
• The unfolding of CONSCIOUSNESS itself

We stand at the threshold of a NEW RENAISSANCE in consciousness studies, sciences, and arts, recognizing that the same GOLDEN PRINCIPLE lies at the HEART of both BEAUTY and OPTIMAL FUNCTION across all fields.

What You’ll Learn: The Four Pillars of Sacred Geometry

This transformative workshop draws from four essential areas of expertise:

1. SACRED GEOMETRY – Participants will create geometric drawings & 3D constructions that foster alignment with the aesthetic principles of the Cosmos, examining golden mean ratios, root 2, root 3, root 5, and Fibonacci and Lucas sequences.
2. ANCIENT WISDOM (PERENNIAL PHILOSOPHY) – Explore knowledge preserved in ancient mystery schools and adapted into Pythagorean/Platonic traditions (including the Principles of the One & the Indefinite Dyad, the Tetraktys, and the Music of the Spheres).
3. TRANSFORMATIVE STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS – Understand how humans are hardwired via divine numbers to experience consciousness transformations, utilizing principles of resonance, attunement, and entrainment to facilitate peak experiences and greater self-fulfillment.
4. PRACTICAL ANALYSIS OF NATURE – Observe how Nature’s elegant numbers pervade the entire Cosmos, from galactic structures to subatomic particles, demonstrating Hermetic self-similarity at all levels in a grand harmonic scheme.

Meet Your Expert Instructors

Scott A. Olsen, Ph.D.

Professor of Philosophy & Comparative Religion at Central College, Dr. Olsen first received international acclaim by successfully decoding the geometric mysteries of Plato. His award-winning book, “The Golden Section: Nature’s Greatest Secret” received first place for design by the Bookbinders’ Guild of New York in 2007.

A life-long student of the Ancient Wisdom, he has studied under physicist David Bohm, world religion expert Huston Smith, sacred geometers Keith Critchlow & John Michell, and esotericist Douglas Baker. As a member of the Theosophical Society of America, Dr. Olsen lectures widely on the Perennial Philosophy with special emphasis on the Divine Proportion and transformative states of consciousness.

Dr. Olsen is currently writing his new book: “Divine Proportion: The Mathematical Perfection of the Universe.”

C. Lance Harding, Ph.D.

Native of Utah, Dr. Harding studied art at Brigham Young University and graduated from The Visual Islamic and Traditional Arts Department (now The Prince’s School of Traditional Art) in London. A student of Professor Keith Critchlow who also studied with John Michell, Dr. Harding is an expert in Sacred Geometry and ancient Canonical Proportions of the Human Body, with extensive research on the “Man in the Square and Circle” as described by Roman architect Vitruvius and illustrated by Leonardo da Vinci.

Materials Required

Workshop participants should bring:

• Sketchpad
• Straight-edge
• Good pair of compasses (compass)
• Pencils (regular & colored)
• Pens
• Sharpener & eraser
• Transparency paper
• Masking tape
• Scissors

Note: Some extra compasses, straight-edges, and pencils will be available.

The Vitruvian Man: Leonardo’s Mathematical Masterpiece

The workshop will explore in depth the mathematical genius behind Leonardo da Vinci’s famous Vitruvian Man drawing (c. 1490), which depicts a male figure in two superimposed positions circumscribed in a circle and square.

This drawing illustrates the precise mathematical proportions of the human body as described by the Ancient Roman architect Vitruvius, including relationships such as:

• A palm is the width of four fingers
• A foot is the width of four palms
• The length of outspread arms equals a person’s height
• The distance from hairline to bottom of chin is one-tenth of height
• The maximum width of shoulders is one-fourth of height

The rediscovery of these mathematical proportions in the 15th century by Da Vinci and others is considered one of the great achievements leading to the Italian Renaissance, symbolizing the essential symmetry of the human body and, by extension, the universe as a whole.

Recommended Study Materials

To prepare for this transformative experience, participants are encouraged to:

• Listen to Dr. Olsen’s webcast lecture: “The Golden Section and the Roots of Theosophy” (March 10, 2011) at the Theosophical Society in America
