The holistic treatment of the space and people within a society is fundamental to the practice of geomancy. Geomancy or holistic ecology is a modern, innovative approach which,in line with a commitment to social responsibility, cognitively identifies the spaceand (through reflection) geometry of social life. Holistic research of a space is used alongside generally recognised components ofreading the characteristics and features of a space to additionally discern (addedvalue) the spiritual energy dimensions of a space in the social sphere of theenvironment, and to thereby obtain insight into the characteristics of the existing collective patterns of the space as well as points of departure for its further development. In doing this, we research the diverse layers of a terrain – its material, energy and spiritual layers. In the next phase, the legibility of the characteristics of the space isfocused, reflected onto the company, that is, the client (company, institution, etc.) as a whole. In each case, analogies between the characteristics of the space and people are sought out – companies / management / employees.
The guiding principle of the geomantic approach at companies states that “a company is aliving organism†and leads us to seek a humanistic understanding of corporate andcreative processes.The quality and condition of a space have an impact on the consciousness of the company.Using new methods of holism based on a NEW PARADIGM of wholeness, it becomespossible to facilitate the creation of effective guidelines for the development of anenvironment (a company, an economy); at the same time, a healthy working environment for employees can be achieved.Key elements of the holistic approach include confronting problems in a socially responsible manner and becoming aware of solutions that can be applied to thetask of orienting a company to achieve a “boost†in the success of its corporate,cultural, environmental and ecological functions. The spatial patterns taken intoconsideration express the vital characteristics of an environment on multiple levelsas well as the social and economic dimensions that intertwine with it. In the urgentcontext of geo- bio-ethics, this is discussed openly, “out loudâ€. In this field we areintroducing a new codex for environmental management which is fundamentallybased on a consciousness that respects the principles of nature; it is the tradition ofarchetypes in a modern form.The main sources for solutions therefore lie in the synergy of the space (genius loci) and people.
The catalyst for the transformation is the doctrine of integration. An innovative approach of this kind ensures completely new constructive conditions for promotion – through the use of integral knowledge, which is expressed in the synergetic linking of fields of expertise with a creative understanding of the dynamics of the processes which play out on the levels of culture, architecture, the economy-ecology and the social relations of social life.It is key for this type of creativity and idea generation that knowledge from different areas of expertise be brought together, creating a situation in which everybody stands only to gain: users, the region, and ultimately the space as aliving subject. Of essential importance is the achievement of a harmony betweenthe individual and universal purpose of innovations – in line with the wave ofworldwide changes and in the form of sustainable solutions – which generatesthe desired effects in a space and produces synergetic results for a company andits productivity, its culture.
