Great Pythagorean philosopher and subject of my lecture today. Known as "Lady Philosopher" , the curriculum of her learning community consisted of the study of music, mathematics, astronomy and ethics. During a time of rising political and religious tensions , she gathered Jewish, Pagan and Christian students together in a circle of brotherly affection in the pursuit of wisdom and virtue.  The beauty of her teaching continues to flower 1600 years after her tragic death.

    For years, I have been moved by the works of Scottish land artist Andy Goldsworthy, but it has only been this past year of Covid  when I turned to creating art in nature as a way to help me deal with fear, depression and anxiety.  Partly informed by my studies of alchemy and  Medieval architecture and sacred geometry, I began to create objects from the simple materials foraged from my yard and on daily walks in the woods near my home. 

    . May they ignite your own imagination  inspire you to see what is possible  with what is right at hand. What is a weed? What is a flower? It is often only in the eye of the beholder. as my first mandala for Lent taught  me.  This practice has been a good reminder that  beauty is ALWAYS possible, if only we have the eyes to see.
