The subject of Sacred Geometry springs to life in the hands of Michael.
As an architect, he takes a holistic approach
to design, based on the understanding that everything is connected,
alive and conscious. His
company, Holistic House Plans, is the world's largest online resource
for building and space designs based on the natural harmonic principles
of biological architecture, sacred geometry and feng shui. Each design
is unique, and has emerged from an expression of natural patterns,
symmetries, shapes, universal symbols and ratios.
This practical hands-on retreat workshop is open
to all to attend,
the only prerequisite is an open mind, enthusiasm for sustainable eco
sensitive environments, and a desire to reach for your highest potential
as a designer, feng shui practitioner, architect and for anyone wishing
to create soul-satisfying 'sacred spaces'.
Michael is an amazing teacher. He not only has complete practical
knowledge and understanding of this amazing art, but also conveys it
with an openness of heart and clarity of purpose. He has inspired every
person who attended his workshops over the past years.

geometric forms to create pleasing, harmonious, and spiritually uplifting
spaces. This workshop is designed to present a good grounding in the
science and art of Sacred Geometry, as well as many practical applications
and exercises.

castle, an archeological wonder or an awesome view.
The famous Ring of Kerry is without doubt Ireland's
most popular scenic drive. It is part of the mystical & unspoilt region of Ireland
that has attracted visitors for hundreds of years. This experience

little spots, which will seduce you with their charm.
The Cliffs of Moher are truly awe-inspiring, considered the most outstanding
coastal landscape along with the most amazing views in Ireland.
We stay the night in the Bantry Region in the
heart of West Cork.

Testimonials
"It was an incredible experience
to be involved in the design and the actual building of a sacred
geometry based structure. I saw from start to finish how it should
be done!" David Hughs, designer
"expanding myself in this direction has been such a energy change
in many ways. I am looking forward to continuing playing in this area
to see where I go with it. I will be applying it right away to a client's
play yard". -Colleen Brand, interior designer
"the illustrating of how everything around us can be fractally
connected from macro levels to micro.. .from actual physical exercise
to intangible energy is simply fascinating. Michael Rice teaches and
makes things easy to understand. I liked the balance between thoery
and practical exercises. The big context as well as the nitty gritty
of drawing applications. The show (slides) and tell (stories), Depth
and breath of information as well as the flow was fantastic!! My perspective
of the world has been greatly enhanced" -Denise/landscaper
"Very enjoyable, incredibly informative, superb educator, Makes
information highly accessible. Teaching using multiple approaches,
engaging listening, drawing collaboration, tactile, body movement.
Effectively embedded his sacred knowledge in each and everyone of us.
What a gift. Handing a complex body of knowledge and sharing its practical
application- through architecture showed us all where this could go.
Having the personal experience of coming into alignment, dropping through
the worm hole-priceless." -Sally Grisedale
"the incredible presentation and drawing the geometries. Very
lovely energy and awareness that Michael brought. A lot of heart opening
wisdom. Loved how everything came together- the bio, living, consious
cosmic implosion of knowledge". -Marjory Mejia, architect
designer
"I feel far more confident in what is possible to build. Curves
and organic shapes were made remarkably easily on this workshop, that
in itself was powerful but the speed at which it was done is truly
astounding. Mel (the master builder) showed us all the tips and techniques
he has built up over the years on building organic structures. Thanks
Mike" - Louise, architect
