The Vale De Moses Meditation/Treatment Cabin is located in the peaceful Vale De Moses, a setting that encourages reflection and wellness. The design focuses on supporting well-being through a connection with nature and elements of yoga. It serves as a retreat where users can engage in a personal journey of growth and understanding.

Conceptual Framework

The cabin draws its inspiration from the root chakra mandala, characterized by the combination of a square and a circle. This shape highlights the importance of being grounded in the physical world while also looking toward spiritual elevation. Visitors approach the cabin by ascending seven steps, each representing a chakra or energy center. This pathway lays the foundation for an intentional experience leading to self-discovery.

Integration of Natural Elements

Natural elements are central to the cabin's design. A stone wall symbolizes the earth, providing strength and stability. Nearby, a water feature adds a soothing sound, creating a calm atmosphere for reflection. The surrounding pine forest introduces sunlight and fresh air, enhancing the space’s peacefulness. These elements work together to help users feel connected to both nature and themselves.

Layered Composition

The structure is designed with layers that represent the five Koshas, or sheaths, in yogic philosophy. The outermost layer reflects the Annamaya Kosha, known as the physical sheath, and is constructed with stone walls that offer both durability and visual interest. Inside, the circular walls represent the Pranamaya Kosha, facilitating airflow and natural light to create an inviting environment.

Sustainability Practices

Sustainability is vital to the cabin's design, evident in the use of renewable energy solutions. Solar panels installed on the roof provide electricity, while a solar water heating system conserves resources. The careful selection of materials, such as stone for structure and cork for flooring, emphasizes durability and user comfort.

At the center of the cabin, a lotus flower design is embedded in the floor, symbolizing purity and beauty that arise from challenges. This detail encapsulates the essence of the space as a sanctuary for personal growth and tranquility.
