New three day workshop with three tutors studying the Sacred Tetractys

 A three-day course in Wells, Somerset with

Tom Bree, Daniel Docherty and Adam Tetlow

7th – 9th June 2024

“The Tetractys is said to mean ‘of four parts’ or ‘in four ways’ and has many symbolic interpretations. It can be validly taken as a teaching tool.”

Professor Keith Critchlow

In this three-day workshop we will explore and understand through direct experience in 2D and 3D, the meanings and educational interpretations of this geometric vehicle. We have three wonderful tutors to take us through different aspects of the Tetractys. Plus, we will have the opportunity to visit Wells Cathedral where there is a window which demonstrates this teaching tool in 3D.

The cost for the three days will be £265 and includes lunch and light refreshments.

There will also be the opportunity to purchase Kairos publications and worksheets designed for self-study. These were created or endorsed by Professor Keith Critchlow founding member of Kairos and Director of Studies until his passing. All three tutors are past students of KC.

If you are interested in joining us and would like more information or to book your place, please email Amanda J. Critchlow: Kairos.charity@gmail.com
