Mandy graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Humanities. She is a soon-to-be graduate of Duke Divinity School.
​Mandy is versed in Biblical Hebrew and Koine Greek, which facilitates her of scriptural texts in their originally written languages. Her research focus is the Divine Feminine, with a particular concentration on Mary Magdalene.
Mandy passionately shares her knowledge by leading tours with Forbidden Adventure, teaching at Project Illumination, and writing and producing her own podcast, Reflecting Light.
Her naturally friendly nature and humor as well as her love of truth, wisdom, goddesses and flamingos (don’t forget the flamingos) makes for an unparalleled educational experience.

Tom has been involved in the practice and study of Sacred Geometry for over 25 years.
Tom studied with Professor Critchlow at the Prince’s Foundation between 2001-03 for an MA in Visual Islamic and Traditional Arts (VITA).
He has been teaching Sacred Geometry for the past 20 years and is renowned for his joint focus upon both technical practice as well as spiritual meaning.
In his approach the spiritual meaning informs the technical practice, and the technical practice then enacts and illumines the spiritual meaning.
Between 2010 and 2022 Tom slowly researched the use of geometry, cosmology, musical ratios and arithmetic (the Quadrivium) in the design of English Gothic cathedrals.
This culminated in 2023 in publishing his ground-breaking book: The Cosmos in Stone – Sacred Geometry of a Master Mason
