"Mystics and scientists alike have been fascinated for centuries with a sacred form that’s found in nearly all living things - humans, plants and animals. Its familiar shape can be recognized in our own DNA, fingerprints, flowers, trees, shells, and at a universal level, in hurricanes and galaxies.

What is this ancient symbol of beauty, perfection and proportion? 

It’s the sacred form of the spiral.

Throughout the ages a spiral has represented infinite expansion, symbolizing the expansion of nature and the universe, reflecting the magical inter-connectedness of our micro- and macro- cosmos. For centuries, this knowledge was considered sacred, a way of understanding the deeper beauty and spirituality in life."
