Geoff Fitzpatrick was introduced to mandalas whilst studying the pioneering work of Carl G Jung and
has spent the past 15 years exploring the intersection of geometry, spirituality and psychology through these symbols. Working with mandalas has opened Geoff to the profound power geometry possesses to influence states of consciousness. The construction of sacred sand mandalas during Geoff’s Mandalanature sessions opens people to a deeper aspect of themselves by blending creativity, geometry and mindfulness in a unique and special way.
In addition to his studies at Trinity College and the Milltown Institute, Geoff has trained with Dr. Stanislav
Grof MD learning a psychotherapeutic technique called Holotropic Breathwork. Dr. Grof’s cartography of the psyche informs the Manalanature model entirely. Geoff is also a regular visitor to the crop circles, to experience their spaces and contemplate their geometries. Geoff combines his love of Mandalas, consciousness and the circles to form a unique view of this phenomenon.
Presentation: Crop Circles: Mandalas for our Modern Age.
There are many similarities between traditional Mandalas and the formations that grace the fields each year. Both broadly; Encompass
– Geometric designs
– Signify a sacred enclosure
– Are encoded with information that reveals itself to those in an appropriate state of receptivity
– They remind the viewer of the immanence of sanctity in the universe and it’s potential in oneself.
– They assist in our journey of transformation
In this presentation Geoff will share insights from his study of traditional mandalas and show how these
principles apply to Crop Circles. The explicit mandala motif manifested in the Smeathe’s Plantation Formation 2020 will be included in Geoff’s presentation.
