History – The Platonic Academy of Melbourne

Geometry in the Sacred Architecture of Melbourne | Part II | St Paul’s Cathedral

*Dynamic pentagrams, Saint Paul’s Cathedral, Melbourne*

For the Summer Term break-up, Arthur Andronas will guide us through the sacred geometry of St Paul’s Cathedral.

Two years ago, on our first Melbourne Sacred Geometry Study Tour, there was so much to see at St Patrick’s Cathedral (see here and here) that we never made it to St Paul’s. On this tour Arthur with share the special knowledge of the Cathedral that he has aquired through the restoration process.

Family and friends are welcome. RSVP essential for attendance.
