Alex Champion, Ph.D.
Alex Champion received a Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of
California at Berkeley and practiced science for over 20 years. His interested
shifted to sacred geometry, more appropriately known as natural geometry,
in the 1980's. He started making labyrinths and symbolic mazes into earthworks
in 1987, and founded his business EARTH SYMBOLS. Being an amateur gardener
all his life, it became natural for him to transform earthworks into sculptured
gardens. This type of garden fits in with his naturalist philosophy, where
the earthworks are in harmony with the environment.
He applies the principles of sacred geometry and geomancy in his designs
and work. As an experienced dowser, he uses dowsing to look for energy lines
before, during and after each earth symbol is constructed.
During the past 13 years, Alex has made over 70 installations in the U.S., representing 30 different symbolic designs. He has constructed more than 40 earthworks,
mostly in the San Francisco Bay Area and Mendocino County in California.
Dr. Champion lectures on mazes, labyrinths, and other symbols. He speaks
to the history of labyrinths and mazes, the concept of the labyrinth, sacred
geometry, archetypal symbols, his research on subtle energies and stories
of his work. He has been a regular speaker at the annual West Coast
Conference of the American Society of Dowsers since 1988, where he annually
puts up one or two labyrinthine designs for the attendees to experience. He
has dowsed and built five labyrinths and symbols located on his property
in Mendocino County.
