Holistic healing and lifestyles are currently very popular
for therapy, contemplation, healthy living, and meditation. A holistic center is a combination of various
health and lifestyle related activities. More functions
can be added to further enhance the efficacy of the center.
The idea of a holistic way of living and healing come
from the Vedas(Bibek Debroy, 1 Jan 2011). These come from four volumes; the Rig Veda, the Sama Veda, the
Yajur Veda and the Atharva Veda which further explain various lifestyle and health related
choices one can undertake for a more satisfied and healthy lifestyle which is also closer
to nature. This idea has further been popularized by the ‘Art of Living’(Rajagopalachari, 16 Jul
2015)and currently holds the attention of a large composition of people across cultural segments, income groups and various
nationalities.
This demand is only partially fulfilled under the current
circumstances where the various prescribed activities are scattered across various cities in India.
Kerala has maximum no of naturopathy(IndiaStat, n.d.), activity of mental healing is scattered in various
part of India. A project with a complete set of activities
as prescribed by the ‘ rt of Living’ has
not been undertaken yet, despite the demand for it. This thesis project aims to fulfill that demand by
creating a model holistic center which could then be replicated or
referred to in the future.
There are some holistic center that provides combined
activities like healing and living like: art of living(Shankar, n.d.), osho meditation (osho, the first
and last freedom). But these centers also don’t cover all the departments related to holistic healing and
life style. Activities like meditation require various spaces that cover inner and outer space. Activity
LIKE deep thinking and contemplation require space
that connects human with nature this space need an additional activity that
helps to contemplate. Activity like healthy
living and healthy eating require a gathering space and an additional activity
that helps to invite people to those gathering spaces.
This design of holistic center will include all the activities
related to physical healing, mental healing, healthy
eating, healthy living, learning and cultural activities.
