4.4 HORIZON HAMMOCKS
The horizontal surfaces that project outwards around the base of the central pillar are "horizon hammocks." Hovering just above the coast (the foor), the horizon hammocks glow with relevant chakra colors, similar to colors of twilight and sunset along the horizon. Lights provide color therapy and are integrated along the edges of each hammock. Guests may choose to lay down or sit on these hammocks to engage in a shared, collective experience located in the center of the Soularium.
4.5 CENTRAL PILLAR
The central pillar is located in the middle of the Soularium and serves a variety of purposes and interpretations. The pillar represents the joining and unifcation of elements. Starting from the base of the central pillar, it bridges a physical connection with guests through the attached hammocks, which are distributed around the mirrored surface of the central pillar. Lined with healing lights of color, the pillar provides a spatial relationship to the Soularium, with the hammocks representing the horizon. Next, the central pillar houses the Soularium's sound source —its voice and delivers alternating bilateral and subwoofers of healing frequencies.
Furthermore, the custom-designed central pillar provides the 360° visual projections of nature on the Soularium walls and also projects the multimedia flm from the dome. The pillar features a cylindrical mirror with light emanating from the top. The central pillar is a source of energy (e.g. light, sound, etc.) and knowledge and it also provides Soularium guests with moments of wonderment, awe, and curiosity. The pillar establishes the Soularium's own internal geography, an interior landscape that interplays the horizon (hammocks), nature (walls), the cosmos (dome), and the coast (foor) alongside the portal (infnity mirror), that is the gateway to mystical dimensions.
5. A Vision for Connection
5.1 DIMENSIONS OF HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
The Soularium is about celebrating and connection with oneself, one’s soul, allowing for a new understanding of the diverse complexities and dimensionality of being a spiritual being in a physical body. Designing the Soularium structure and experience through the lens of “holistic health” underscores “viewing [humankind] in [its] totality [with] a wide ecological spectrum, and...emphasizing the view that ill health or disease is brought
