This article was recently written for the Science to Sage International eMagazine. It introduces the work of Frank Chester, artist, sculptor, and geometrician, and explores how the special seven-sided volume with faces of equal area — the Chestahedron — relates to the traditional Platonic Solids.
Unfortunately, the workshop has been cancelled.
It will be rescheduled this Summer; keep an eye out here for the announcement!

Elemental Transformation: Changing How We Work with Change
A hands-on/minds-on workshop with Frank Chester and Seth Miller
Saturday, March 20th
9 am – 5 pm
Live Oak Charter School Petaluma, CA
Pre-registration is required.
All workshop materials provided. Cost: $100
This all-day workshop will combine hands-on geometry with dynamic presentations and experiential exercises designed to help you deepen your relationship with transformation. You will leave this workshop with a physical form of your own creation and a more subtle and complex understanding of how transformation unfolds according to the archetypal patterning of the four elements: Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. Our goal is to inspire you and enliven your own everyday transformative work. This workshop is perfect for parents, teachers, therapists, social workers, and anyone interested in transformation. There will be a one hour period for lunch. You can bring your own lunch or drive off-site for lunch.
Frank Chester is an artist, sculptor, geometrician, and teacher based in San Francisco. He has been working with the four elements for over 10 years, having used them as an integral part of the research that led him to the discovery of a brand-new seven-sided form that has deep connections to the human heart. Frank travels widely, giving dynamic presentations connecting form, geometry, and spirit.
Seth Miller has taught physics and many other subjects in Waldorf schools across the West. With a Master’s degree in consciousness studies, he is passionate about bringing forth tools for transformation; his specialty is the alchemy of the four elements. He is currently developing this work in a PhD dissertation, which weaves together alchemy, cybernetic epistemology, Goethean phenomenology, and anthroposophy.
Frank Chester (find out about his initial work here, and read reviews of his work here) has just returned from a very well received presentation of his research on the Chestahedron at SunbridgeCollege in Spring Valley, New York. Many in the audience expressed disappointment afterwards that they had not notified their friends to attend these lectures because they did not realize that they would be witness to such an astonishing presentation.
Frank will be repeating these lectures this week in Fair Oaks at the Anthroposophia Conference as listed below. For those who wish to attend single lectures apart from the rest of the conference, the charge is $10 for students and $20 for adults
This is a good time to invite your friends and associates if they would like to hear about his discoveries, because Frank is planning on cutting back on his lecture schedule after this week so he can return to his research. You may download an attachment to this email, which provides some written information that may be helpful towards understanding what Frank’s work is about.
Frank will be presenting his work on the following dates:
