Our Faculty and Staff

Robert J. Gilbert, Ph.D

Dr. Robert J. Gilbert has a multi-faceted background in both spiritual and scientific studies. He is a former U.S. Marine Corps Instructor in Nuclear-Biological-Chemical Warfare Survival; since leaving the service in 1985 he has conducted independent research into the Geometric basis of modern science and new technologies. Dr. Gilbert is also a Rosicrucian with more than 20 years of experience in Sacred Geometry and its hidden uses by the world's great spiritual traditions. His non-sectarian approach is inclusive of individuals from all spiritual traditions. Dr. Gilbert holds a Ph.D. in International Studies and is a published academic author in that field, contributing to the first academic textbook in the new field of Transformational Politics.

In 1997 Dr. Gilbert began for the first time to teach publicly the results of his two decades of intensive research. Today he teaches both publicly and privately in Asheville, NC. Dr. Gilbert also offers a small number of his VESICA series of special seminars throughout the United States every year. He is currently completing his first book 7 Keys to Creation: Sacred Geometry and the Patterns of Life.

Elizabeth McKay, M.A.

Elizabeth has extensive experience in sacred dance, art, bodywork, and the Western Mysteries of the Divine Feminine. She received her Master’s Degree in Humanities with a focus on The Shadow and Creativity at Matthew Fox’s University of Creation Spirituality. She holds a diploma in the sacred dance art form of Eurythmy. Eurythmy is an art of the Etheric which makes visible the forces of creation present in Word and Music. Elizabeth is particularly passionate about bringing Sacred Geometry and the Spiritual Mysteries alive through movement. Her training and performances has taken her to California, New York, Germany and Switzerland. In addition to leading Sacred Movement aspects of our Sacred Geometry classes, she also facilitates workshops on creating sacred space through dance and is the founder of The School of Sacred Arts in Asheville, NC.

Jane A. Weaver

Jane WeaverJane Weaver has been an enthusiastic student of mathematics, music, and the connections between these two sciences for nearly all of her life. Following her college and graduate studies in the areas of music, mathematics and general systems theory, and several years of public sector teaching, she served as a faculty member of the music department at Princeton University. Having relocated to Western North Carolina she teaches piano, cello, and violin in her private studio. She also provides instruction in piano pedagogy and the geometry of music. Her Mennonite upbringing and interest in mandalic geometries led her to pursue quilting as an art form. Jane has participated in numerous local and juried national quilt shows, receiving several awards, and has commissioned work hanging in offices and homes. Her conviction that geometry and proportion lie at the heart of all creation inspires an interest in sharing that perception in both written and workshop formats. Jane's current projects include applications of projective geometry, interpreting and furthering the work of the French radiesthesists, exploring non-quantum geometric theories of nuclear structure, and consulting in application of sacred geometry in architectural design. Jane works with architect Alice Dodson in Sacred and BioGeometric Design.
