Features
1. Zen Garden and Meditation Stone: The journey begins with a zen garden, a space of tranquil beauty that invites you to center your thoughts. A meditation stone stands as a guide, urging you to leave behind the chaos of the external world and embark on a journey of inner exploration.
2. The Mandorla: Portal to Transformation: The Mandorla, the entry point of the dome, beckons you to step into a realm of heightened awareness. This elliptical gateway symbolizes the merging of opposites, a space where duality dissolves into unity.
3. The Earthship: The Gaiaship is constructed using innovative techniques inspired by Michael Reynolds's bio-culture principles. Recycled materials, including glass bottles embedded in the walls, create a living testament to sustainability and harmonious living with the Earth.
4. The Greenhouse Dome: Surrounding the Gaiaship is a greenhouse dome adorned with lush, thriving plants. This outer layer not only provides a living sanctuary for flora but also offers a sense of communion with the natural world, even within the sanctuary of the dome.
