From the passion flower or a spiraling galaxy, we see patterns, cycles and forms in nature expressed via geometric patterns and the golden ratio.<\/h4>


<\/strong>Since we began in 2008, Luminate has taken great care to embed golden ratio into all aspects of the festival, including the social dynamics.<\/p>

The festival site layout, alignment of zones, placement of poles, stage design, graphics and logos are all based on the geometry of the rhombic triacontahedron, pentagon, decagon, and rhombic hexecontahedron, providing harmonic resonance with nature, and enhancing ecological consciousness.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The symbol in the new Luminate 2017 logo encodes the sacred geometrical energies of the great rhombic hexecontahedron, which is the hub of the Luminate \u2018spacecraft flotilla\u2019, providing heart coherence to community on a local and universal scale.<\/h4>

\u2018Spacecraft flotilla\u2019 is a term adopted by the Luminate crew to describe the complex interconnectedness of all the parts of the festival that need to be organized and co-created with a shared vision, ethos and heart connection.<\/p>

Key Terms:
Here\u2019s what it all means!\u2026..<\/h3>

Phi ratio \/ golden ratio\u00a0\u2013<\/strong> the proportions that nature uses everywhere! Therefore, to resonate with nature we also work with phi (1.618\u2026)<\/p><\/div><\/div>Fibonacci series \u2013<\/strong> numbers in a mathematical series that are connected by phi, (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144\u2026) whereby the ratio between any 2 consecutive numbers gets closer to phi the further along the series you go. So for\u00a0example, if we were to build something in phi ratio, then we would use 2 consecutive numbers from the Fibonacci series,\u00a0e.g. 13 wide, 21 long.

Luminate uses this natural order everywhere we can.\u00a0For example, in our new logo:<\/p>
