Glossary of Sacred Systems
The key terms behind Radical Alchemy. Rooted in emotional architecture, spiritual sustainability, and energetic design.
Energetic Design
A design philosophy that considers the invisible resonance, emotional memory, and vibrational impact of space. Rooted in both ancestral wisdom and sensory awareness.
A systems-based approach to environmental design that integrates sacred values, intuitive intelligence, and embodied ethics, not just technical performance.
The spatial expression of feeling. Spaces shaped by mood, memory, and human emotion, beyond form and function.
For a deeper exploration of the limits of emotional design, read this reflection on why emotional architecture is not enough — and how Radical Alchemy moves beyond it.
A felt alignment between environment and essence. The difference between something that’s just “luxury” and something that lives in the body as truth.
Symbolic, energetic or ritual frameworks that hold deeper order. Includes numerology, sacred geometry, lunar cycles, plant allies, sound, and ancestral rhythms.
The way environments hold and transmit lived experience
Spatial Energetics
The study and practice of how energy flows and is stored within physical environments. This includes how materials, layout, light, and atmosphere interact to shape mood, memory, and behaviour forming the foundation of Radical Alchemy’s approach to conscious space-making.
A new paradigm in luxury design and hospitality focused on restoring ecosystems, cultural heritage, and spiritual balance. Regenerative luxury creates environments that heal and uplift, going beyond status or aesthetics to embody stewardship, legacy, and soulful abundance.
Explore this journal reflection on how regenerative luxury becomes a return to spirit, not just a strategy.
A holistic approach to sustainability that integrates spiritual values, ancestral wisdom, and ethical stewardship with environmental responsibility. It transcends compliance, embedding deeper meaning, ritual, and coherence into design and business practices for long-term regenerative impact.
A holistic design philosophy that engages all the senses sound, scent, touch, sight, and atmosphere to create immersive, emotionally resonant environments. Sensory design nurtures wellbeing and memory by shaping spatial experiences at a deep, intuitive level.
