What patterns connect a seashell, a cauliflower, and the human body? In this conversation, craniosacral therapist Sarah Devoy talks with author and psychotherapist Shirley Ward about fractals: repeating forms found in nature, art, and the branching structures of our lungs and blood vessels.
Shirley shares ways to notice these patterns for yourself, including an unexpected way of looking at trees in the forest. Join us for a conversation about nature, perception, and our place within a deeply interconnected world.
Shirley shares stories of technological discoveries, ancient wisdom, and personal practices—like viewing trees through a mirror in the forest—that reveal how deeply interconnected we truly are. Prepare to see the world around you, and within you, with new eyes as we explore the profound interdependence between nature, humanity, and the infinite patterns that shape our reality.
Shirley is fascinated by the patterns and rhythms that govern the universe, a passion she often explores through her discussions and books on fractals. Compelled to share the essence of these intricate, repeating patterns, she explains that fractals are simple geometric shapes that repeat within themselves, creating an infinite tapestry of design.
Popularized in the 1980s thanks to advances in technology, fractals have since captivated the imagination of many, finding their way into everything from calendars to art. Through her work, Shirley strives to help others see and appreciate the hidden patterns that shape the world around us.
