Britain's only traditional master builder is erecting stone circles in Glastonbury

Mark rewilding

Mark Leib is a contemporary geomancer and biodesigner. He uses the ancient tradition of sacred geomtery to create structures, spaces, settings and sensations in the now.

"The planet can heal and sustain us like a plant can, whether that’s in the Amazon or a field close by," Mark says. Hear more from him, and all about his stone circle building workshops near Glastonbury, England in my first broadcast below.

Mark’s an award-winning restaurant and nightclub designer. He gave up throwing shapes to master them instead and trained in the arch-discipline of traditional master building for ten years.

The almost-forgotten art kept pace with civilisation in this part of the world from the Egyptian empire if not before, and was used to raise pyramids, temples and cathedrals. It’s also one of those antediluvian innovations that somehow spread across the globe – Mark points out that seed fossils have been found atop South American pyramids, where farmers left their fledgling crops to harness bio-energies.

Sacred shuteye

Among many techniques it includes building in harmony with the energy fields of natural objects nearby. So like “Chinese medicine for the construction industry” and “feng shui for the encvironment.”

He’s currently the only traditional master builder in Britain and one of only a handful in the world. But their ranks are swelling as people turn to holistic solutions for habitat and health.

Futurists too are frothing at the mouth at ‘bio-architecture’ examples like these Buckminster Fuller-style concept domes by BioArc.

Mark began fusing his ancient and modern skills in projects ranging from modern menhirs to integration tactics. And amateur megalith masons are in luck, because Marks’s hosting a workshop near Glastonbury, England on Sunday 8 May 2022.

Particpants will build a stone circle together and learn the fundamentals of sacred geometry.

Enjoy a day in the countryside, maybe bust out a ritual later on

The treatment can be applied to mandala and labyrinth designs too

No going too fast as per usual, I don’t want to hear about anyone burning out after whacking up a pyramid in their back garden.
