A Day in The Life - The Healing Journey of Edenia

Imagine waking up to the soft glow of golden sunlight slipping between stone columns, warming the smooth megalithic walls of your Edenian dwelling—crafted from ancient, yet futuristic geopolymer masonry that hums quietly with the resonance of Earth itself. These walls don’t just shelter, they sing, holding the memory of the earth, grounding you in sacred geometry and deep stillness.

Edenian Dwelling

You stir gently in your bed—cozy, clean, and wrapped in linen, scented with lavender from the garden outside. As you rise, the smell of earth and dew meets you like an embrace. You stretch beneath the wood-beamed ceiling overhead, feeling held, supported, and sovereign.

Fresh Water Sources

Barefoot, you step outside onto a polished flagstone pathway, grounding in a new morning ritual you've come to love. You walk through fragrant herbs to a nearby spout where living mineral water flows directly from a spring-fed source. You fill your bottle and drink deeply. It’s cold, clean, and invigorating—like a transmission from the mountains.

Nearby, you hear the soft chime of a singing bowl and the gentle tones of a harp dancing through the trees. You notice that breathwork is already underway in the outdoor yoga studio, a simple platform nestled among flowering wisteria vines. Some people stretch in sun salutations while others meditate with closed eyes, heads tilted toward the rising sun.

You wander toward the permaculture food forest, where a variety of fruits hang heavy and ready. You choose a sun-warmed cara cara orange, open it, and savor the floral citrus nectar as juice drips down your fingers. A ripe apricot joins your morning meal, its softness a gentle sweetness on the tongue.

Permaculture Food Forest

You walk the spiral path beneath towering red maple trees alongside friendly chattering squirrels until you reach what feels like an ancient temple. Moss and wildflowers crown the monolithic archway and surrounding boulders. A hand-carved sign reads: Welcome to the Sauna. You do a 10 minute meditation on a rock while you wait for it to heat up.

Monolithic Sauna

Inside, the space glows with soft amber light from a pink salt lamp. Aromatic wood harvested from Edenia’s land lines the interior, filling the air with cedar and pine. You sweat and release, the radiant heat of the geopolymer sauna mixed with the fragrance of garden grown eucalyptus penetrating deep into your bones and clearing your sinuses.

Hollowed-Boulder Sauna

Stepping out, flushed and renewed, you follow the smooth flagstones to a cold plunge pool beside the creek. It’s filled with mountain-fed spring water; crystalline, structured, and still. You breathe, count to three, and dip! Every nerve lights up. Time stops. When you emerge, you see a mother deer and her fawn drinking just beyond.

Cold Plunge

Feeling Refreshed, you decide to follow a winding trail lined with wildflowers and smooth stones, drawn by the gentle steam curling into the air. It leads you to a geopolymer hotpool, nestled like a hidden sanctuary among the trees. The pool is crafted with smooth megalithic stone, curved in sacred proportions. Steam rises in soft ribbons from its mineral-rich waters, fed directly from a geothermal spring. As you step in, the heat wraps around your limbs like a silken embrace, melting tension from your shoulders and quieting every thought. 

Hot Spring Pool

The water is warm, alive, and pulsing with minerals. The air smells faintly of cedar and earth. You notice a few other guests, their faces softened in bliss. Someone opens a conversation with a smile, and soon you’re immersed not just in water, but in deep, soul-nourishing conversation—about healing, dreams, the universe, and the shared desire to live meaningfully.

Wrapped in a towel, you return to a nearby courtyard surrounded by community-spun pottery overflowing with wildflowers, woven chairs, beneath linen canopies. Someone hands you a glass of fresh lemon-ginger-turmeric juice. It's icy, pungent, and perfectly spiced. This is exactly what you needed after the Sauna.

Lounging Courtyard

Soon, you and your friends head to the garden kitchen; a communal open-air structure framed by stone and vine. You harvest butter lettuce, rainbow chard, and edible flowers, pressing fresh olives into extra virgin oil for the very first time. You squeeze a lemon into the large ceramic bowl to create the freshest salad you've ever tasted.

Outdoor Kitchen Preparation Area

Nearby, another friend wraps copper wire around a wooden stake to place into the soil of a megalithic raised bed. He is practicing electroculture techniques that energize the soil and plants and speaks of building a similar garden when he returns home—perhaps to co-found a new Edenian node point.

Electroculture

Afternoon drapes itself in warmth. You swim in the natural cast stone pool, algae-free and mineral-balanced, its bottom imprinted with sacred patterns. Birds gather above you. The sunlight turns the water to liquid gold.

Natural Infinity Pool

You follow laughter to the amphitheater—another stone marvel open to sky and stars. Flutes echo through the arches. People gather to share knowledge: some offer divination, others guide bioenergetic healing or lead a group in storytelling. The amphitheater is where Edenia hosts all of its larger, more public events, to share our lifestyle with the community around us.

Stone-Cast Amphitheater

Dusk settles.

You wear a colorful hand-woven shawl for the bonfire ceremony—a gathering of drums, sacred chants, dance, and elemental celebration. Sparks rise into the indigo sky as stars blink awake. Around you, people sway, clap, weep, and laugh— we are unafraid, unguarded, whole.

Later, you descend into the subterranean reflection chamber—a candle-lit stone circle below the Earth. Silence echoes with presence. You sit. You listen. You remember.

Reflection Cove

When your day ends, you return to your seemingly ancient abode. The stone walls pulse with the gentle warmth still radiating from the summer sun. You slip between soft sheets, heart full and body humming.

Edenian Summer Dwelling

And just before sleep carries you into dreams, you think:

“Maybe I’ll stay another week… Maybe I’ll offer my own gifts to this place... Maybe this is no longer just a retreat. Maybe… this is home.”
