Contemplation Area
Pyramid for Light 3D Design
Pyramid for Light
The Pyramid forms in many ways, the heart of the land where all energies gather and ascend. It’s the explosion of the heart energy connecting Heaven and Earth.
The Chakra Path:
This consists of a simple wooden bamboo path, slightly elevated. At each chakra point there is a little booth where the participants can gather before continuing on their inner journey. This path is illuminated at night by natural torches symbolizing the way of light with each of the chakra colours.
Santo Rosario Cave:
We will entirely preserve the Cave’s natural and mystical virtues in close cooperation with Balincaguin Conservancy, the local organisation for cave preservation. This is the reason there is practically no work – other than preservation - to be done inside or around this sacred area.
Meditation garden and walkways:
Exceptional Natural Environment
This is a relatively flat space located to the north of the Pyramid with exquisite natural beauty. There is little work to be done in this part of the land with the exception of a simple clearing of the area and by creating an accessible path and meditative walkway. This area allows for the initial inner preparation for each participant by completing the periphery path and by absorbing its energies.
Accommodation Area
This area is dedicated to everyday life and includes the following infrastructures:
Cottages:
Traditional Nipa Hut
Inspired by the local Nipa architecture, a series of natural cottages will house the light seekers. These accommodation units will be built progressively to provide for the necessary number of visitors and residents.
Lotus Dome:
A round building as a symbol of union and equal togetherness. This building is a multi-purposed space used for gatherings and related activities
Service Building:
This building includes the entrance and reception, administration quarters, the restaurant and its vegetarian kitchen as well as a big elliptical-shaped terrace overlooking water features including water falls and fountains.
Roads, Accessibility and Parking:
Small internal streets will link the cottages with the general service buildings and parking lot thus enabling easy access for service, maintenance and emergency. The parking will be built for a capacity of approximately twenty vehicles/cars and possibly busses.
Water, Technical and Electrical Facilities:
Located further south of the property, this area will include the site’s electric power station, fuelled by renewable resources and completed by an electrical generator.
A Water Reservoir will be installed with a capacity of at least 60 cubic meters, located on the property’s most elevated area and equipped with a service access point.
Sustainable Development
DENR Officials,DD team and Pyramid for Light Board members
Since its conception in 2009, the project’s planning has aimed for the highest environmental protection, social progress and economic efficiency. Its development includes a vast group of experts in engineering, architecture, green buildings, eco-habitats, geo-biology, dowser research, energy efficiency, renewable energy, social ecology, recycling, household waste water management, organic and bio-dynamic agriculture and local and alternative medicine.
Men and women from different countries, languages and cultures have come together to form a highly motivated team of volunteers: from mapping the land to meetings with local authorities and environmental associations, NGO´s and cooperating with the nearby villages.
We will limit our environmental footprint by using local materials and techniques. Thanks to the Internet, we already organize multi-lingual and cross cultural meetings without polluting our planet.
We respect the preservation of local biodiversity and ecosystems, a minimum number of trees will be cut down (for subsequent use in construction). Any concrete to be used in the construction will be made by stones and blessed water available on site.
Daily life around the Pyramid of Light will be encouraged by a deeper sense of spirituality and an environmentally friendly attitude with organic vegetarian food. The construction of the buildings will be simple, natural and comfortable with a minimal use of electricity. This permits a deeper connection with the natural frequencies of this sacred land, its energy centres (chakras) and the Pyramid.
This project is more than planning a society. This project has faith in humanity and in its capacity to create a space in harmony with the surrounding environment.
