Hi Patricia!

How wonderful that you're wanting to bring a holistic outlook into your work.  It's so appropriate.  Hopefully many designers will turn into this direction.  Clodagh is terrific and has done the work of studying and applying, studying and applying, studying and applying.  If you are feeling aligned with her, study what she has studied and put it out there.  Sacred Geometry is fascinating and important.  Take tours to places that have incorporated it into the architecture.  Study sacred architecture and why the cathedrals were designed the way they were, and then apply it to beliefs today.  Transpose all these ancient philosophies into today.  Find Holistic Centers that offer courses in Sacred Geometry.  Geomancy, Feng Shui, etc.  Learn wherever you can and transpose.  Read books on all these sciences, and then remember to partner it with the feelings of your clients, their loves and needs.  I'll never forget the first time I arranged a room and couldn't quite understand why it felt so fabulous.  Then I took a Sacred Geometry Course and I saw that I had laid out the room according to the Golden Mean.  I knew I had to learn more.  Learn and then apply it to today to make life better and more profound.

I visited Damanhur this year in Torin, Italy.  They are a Spiritual Community that began when they dug into a mountain and created a temple of Self Transformation that included 9 different rooms or Chapels.  It is awesome what beauty and message they created and how they are using it for healing and ritual.  All of the art, the stained glass, the sculpture was a community collaborative, and they now live and base their life and rituals around Self Transformation in concert with nature.  They used Geomancy and all the other sciences in their effort.

You can visit Columcille in the Poconos, a monolithic park, and learn how they designed their small cathedral, how they received visions to move the rocks placed by a glacier from the valley up the mountain to very special spots through the woods guided by dreams and intuition.

Read Alex Grey's THE MISSION OF ART and apply it to your work.  Think, read, transpose.  Do not think the ancient wisdom has been replaced.  We are the ancients and if we've forgotten any of it, it is available to bring back.  We just have to remember.  Our society truly needs all of this to recover from its darkness and to stimulate and inspire all beings on the planet.  The shapes you speak of are healing.  We can use them today. All of these shapes can even be used by an individual as they visualize themselves inside a peyramid etc.  There is so much to learn.  Begin!

And remember that along with all of this we need to incorporate our codes of today, good design principles, color research, awareness of "green" etc.  I'm laughing because now I know why you were so attracted to my book and my work.  Keep going, girl.  If enough of us are on the mission of space as a healing device, the planet is bound to become more light.

So make it your passion, but not your master. You learn to master it all.  We need lots of designers to make an impact, and not in a competitive way, but in a deep and conscious way.

I had a seminar for designers in July that blew ME away.  One portion was especially powerful where we went outside and each designer found their power place and then discovered how much it related to their memories, beliefs, and who they are.  Now they can do that with their clients. This work is so amazing.  I will be having more seminars as I hear from designers.  Perhaps I could create a class with Alex Grey on Sacred Geometry and on Sacred Architecture. Don't know if he's available, but he just might be! Anyone interested?

Thanks so much for writing,  Good to hear from you!

Hi Gloria,

Yes, I was tuned into Oprah on Friday, and did witness the moment of which you're speaking.

First, I want to say how excited I am about The Secret, and about how Oprah has opened her program to these wise teachers who are helping all of us understand  through their wise interpretations.  This is a wonderful time on the planet.  We all need to get the concept and focus on the positive.  We also need to figure out just what it is we want!

When the woman got up and asked the question about how to get peace in her home, I literally was shaking.  You've obviously read my book because you've sent in this question.  You know it's what I'm trying to say.

Michael Beckwith is aware of my book.  And his answer was so perfect.  I loved that he didn't try to interpret her kind of peace, but instead suggested she figure out what peace in the home looks like to her and then for her to try  to put it into steps that create it..

You and I both know that everyone's experience of peace is different.  For some it's a highly organized space, for another it's icons that remind the Soul what peace looks like, and for another it could be live plants and flowers that represent abundance and therefore, bring that person to a place of trusting and therefore peace.

We gotta figure out who we are and what our peace, or happiness, or celebration looks like and then create it through our own choices.  If each one of us does this individually then each of us achieves "our peace" and the planet heals.

So be it! And thank you dear heart!
