The Venus Project by Jacque Fresco

“… this visionary idea of a future society has many characteristics in common with the utopia. … the word utopia carries a double meaning, since in Greek it can mean both the good place (eutopia) and the nonexisting place (outopia). A good place is precisely what Fresco has devoted his life to describing and fighting for.”
Morten Grønborg of Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies, about the Venus Project

Watch the documentary on this project below – The Choice is Ours.

The first part is a bit depressing because it talks about the current state of things based on greed, money, false democracy and wars for resources. The second part is more optimistic, charting possibilities based on shared resources and technological advances which will make work, money and worry about lack of resources obsolete. Interestingly enough, the latest book by Daniel Susskind, How To Thrive in a World Without Work predicts the world without work due to automation, robotics and AI. The Venus Project’s tagline says it all: Beyond Politics Poverty and War and offers an alternative model for a sustainable future. Whether humanity will shift itself to the next level where the current problems are resolved depends on the choices we all make. As Einstein eloquently stated, “The significant problems we face can not be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.” More info on The Venus Project

Feng Shui Consultant in Reykjavik

I’ve just visited Reykjavik, Iceland and as a feng shui consultant and environmental psychologist, I couldn’t help noticing some interesting feng shui aspects of this small but beautiful city and the stunning scenery of Iceland, waterfalls, glaciers, geysers, whales and taste of a rotten shark food if you’re into interesting foods.

Reykjavik – the relationship area of the bagua of Iceland

Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland and the largest city, with a population of 123,246 people (the population of Iceland is only 332,529). Reykjavik is located in southwestern Iceland, on the southern shore of Faxa Bay which from a feng shui bagua perspective is the relationship/marriage area of Iceland. Feng shui bagua model can be applied to your home, office, even your desk and in this case, on the whole country and the city of Reykjavik. Since Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland and a major tourist attraction, it can make sense from bagua perspective that this city would establish good relationships with the rest of the world (everyone speaks very good English). The main international airport Keflavik is even further to the southwest of the country. For the residents of Reykjavik, according to statistics, marriage is not that important though. The birth rate is dwindling as well. I haven’t noticed many children or babies.

Bagua of Reykjavik

Looking at the bagua of Reykjavik it looks like the city centre is in the helpful friends, travel and clients area of the bagua model. This is also where the port is and when big cruise ships come in with thousands of tourists, the whole city is buzzing with excitement and expectation.

Chi levels

The energy of Reykjavik in the summer is quite good but not brilliant. I would rate it at 7/10 for all kinds of reasons. Overall, the weather is quite chilly, even during summer. Get some warm clothes. Read below.

Energy flow

Travelling in Iceland and to Iceland can tell you a lot about the energy flow. Apart from flying to Iceland, you can get to Iceland from Britain by train to Denmark and then a ferry crossing or by cruise ship. Train travel is gaining popularity since Greta Thunberg and other eco-warriors made it popular as an alternative to air travel. Whatever way you’re getting to Iceland and moving around, you will notice that Iceland is not very build-up and there are very few highrises. Buses and cars are the best way to explore Iceland and there a lot of popular coach tours throughout Iceland. You can also hire a helicopter to see the whole of Iceland in no time.

Tjörnin is Reykjavik’s city pond is a small lake and haven for birdwatchers and in winter, when the pond freezes, you can ice skate on it.

Yin & yang of buildings

Although the weather is constantly changing, it seems that there is not that much architectural diversity in Reykjavik. There is a lot of sameness and little variety when it comes to buildings. For that reason, I would rank the yin and yang aspects of buildings at only 4/10.

The Icelandic motto “þetta reddast” can be translated as “it will all work out fine”.

Five elements

Five elements are well balanced with all elements (water, tree, fire, earth and metal). I would rate it at 8/10 with predominant elements of earth, water and fire. Iceland is a volcanic country with geysers (spewing out magma-heated water for 10 000 years now), glaciers and fjords as well as mountains, waterfalls, lakes, ice caves, geothermal spas and spectacular nature reserves and views. My ranking for the five elements is 8/10. The earth and heaven aspects are well connected as one can see with the Northern lights which make plasma get activated and visible so beautifully in Iceland. A perfect example of heaven and earth’s energies working, connecting and working together.

Iceland aurora borealis – Northern light

Water (shui) element

Iceland is surrounded by the Greenland Sea and North Atlantic Ocean (20% of tourists that come to Iceland go whale watching – 25 different types of whales) with an abundance of very good drinking water from glaciers. The whole country is powered by geothermal energy. All houses have two taps for water: one for hot water coming from the ground already hot and boiling for washing and cleaning (not suitable for drinking) and one for cold water tap for drinking water.

Whale watching is a great way to connect to nature and the sea.

Blue Lagoon is another one, about 40 minutes southwest of Reykjavik. When in Iceland, you must experience one of 25 wonders of the world, the Blue Lagoon, where the powers of geothermal seawater create transformational spa bliss in the midst of the volcanic landscape. The cloudy, milky-like water is coloured by natural silica minerals that rise from about two kilometres beneath the earth. The Blue Lagoon isn’t really a natural wonder (the website calls it an ‘outwardly wonder’) because the water from it is a result of activity in the geothermal plant which is right next door. The temperature of the water in the bathing and swimming areas is on average 98–102 °F – ideal for soaking in this mother-of-all bath.

The Old Harbour is worth seeing and you can book a whale-watching trip. Reykjavik’s eclectic flea market, Kolaportid, is located there too and within a few minutes from the city centre. It is indoors and opens every weekend.

Cheap geothermal energy and plenty of water = plenty of outdoor swimming places for Icelanders who are passionate about it. Sundhöllin in Baronsstigur, Reykjavik, is the oldest public bath in Iceland. It was renovated in 2017 with a brand-new outdoor pool, hot tubes and sauna. What not to like?

Fire element – Icelandic volcanos

The volcanos in Iceland are famous, especially Bárðarbunga, which disrupted air traffic big time when it last erupted in 2014-15. Seismic activity surrounding volcanos is usually present. Earthquakes are become more pronounced or at least more noticeable in recent years in many countries, even in the UK. Earthquakes and geopathic stress are connected. Another famous volcano is Eyjafjallajokull which erupted catastrophically in 2010. And in 2018, Iceland’s volcano Katla is threatening to erupt, according to the latest reports by experts. Sarah Barsotti, co-ordinator for volcanic hazards at the Icelandic Meteorological Office, said: “There is no way of telling when it will erupt, just that it will.” Researchers believe that there will be more earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in the future as the big glaciers disappear and land rebounds.

More volcanos and earthquakes in Iceland?

Air / wind (feng) element

The quality of air is excellent in Reykjavik and Iceland. The winds can be strong but that also means that the weather is very changeable. I’m sure there is some air pollution in Reykjavik, but the winds blow it away rapidly.

Wood or tree element missing

Driving from Keflavik airport, one can’t stop wondering about the Moon-like, volcanic landscape. No trees. And when in Reykjavik, I haven’t noticed a single corner flower shop. Of course, people love nature and will do simple and little things to bring some nature to their homes or workplaces. I’ve noticed that a lot of shops have flower pots outside the front doors. Also, people have flower boxes outside their windows or doors, like the one below at 20 Norðurstígur, Reykjavík.

Flower basket, 20 Norðurstígur, Reykjavík

Spiritual feng shui of Reykjavik and Iceland

Feng shui is a historically and fundamentally spiritual discipline because it deals with the energy (spirit) of a place. There are a few sacred spots and power places in Iceland, such as Snaefellsjokull glacier, Thorsmork and Skaftafell and pyramid-shaped Bulandstindur mountains as well as Thingvellir. In Reykjavik, visit Hallgrímskirkja, which is a Lutheran parish church. It is the largest church in Iceland and one of the tallest buildings in the country (74.5 metres high) – probably the most recognisable building in Iceland. The church is named after the Icelandic poet and clergyman Hallgrímur Pétursson, author of the Passion Hymn. The view from the top of the church encompasses the whole of Reykjavik and beyond. The building took 40 years to build and was finished in 1986 and was inspired by the Icelandic landscape. Although the predominant religious domination in Iceland is Christian, with Icelandic Church leading the way, nature and biophilia are unavoidable in Iceland and that is the most dominant spiritual dimension here.

Values of Icelanders

As a feng shui consultant and environmental psychologist, I’ve noticed some universal and unique values that most Icelanders hold dearly. We all could learn from and adopt these values, especially in terms of world peace, work ethics and positivity.

Homes are important to Icelanders.
Most Icelanders dream about owning property. There is a shortage of properties in Iceland, though. Most people live in flats and apartments.

Feng shui of Reykjavik. Homes are important in Iceland.

Work ethics is high in Iceland.
Icelanders are hard-working and value work so much that some people have even two or three jobs going. The wages are high, but the prices are high too.

Peace is also highly valued.
Please note that it was Reykjavik that hosted the meeting between Gorbachev and Reagan. The former French consulate, called Hofdi, was the site of the Reykjavík Summit in 1986 which resulted in the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty between the United States and the Soviet Union.
Also, the Imagine Peace Tower (Icelandic: Friðarsúlan, meaning “the peace column”) is a memorial to John Lennon from his widow, Yoko Ono, located on Viðey Island in Kollafjörður Bay near Reykjavík.`

Elfs (álfur)
50% of Icelanders believe in elves and 90% are open to the idea.

“Þetta reddast” philosophy.
The Icelandic motto ‘þetta reddast’ can be translated as “it will all work out fine”. Life hasn’t always been easy in this barren, harsh country and Icelanders have developed an attitude which sometimes appears a bit carefree. When faced with challenges, Icelanders believe that things will work in time – even the biggest problems have solutions. Þetta reddast attitude could be a reason behind Iceland being one of the happiest nations (or is it because the city has the highest percentage of marijuana smokers – not technically legal). Þetta reddast is also a good reminder and a piece of very practical advice to relax and be optimistic when faced with challenges and problems. Petta reddast is a similar mindset or concept to the Dutch niksen and Japanese wabi sabi

Famous Icelanders

Most people know about Björk Guðmundsdóttir. Other famous musicians are the post-rock band Sigur Rós and a band called Of Monsters and Men. One of the most famous performance artists in the world, Ragnar Kjartansson lives in Reykjavik.

History of Iceland

Food

Shark eating stands out as one daring dining experience. Don’t have high hopes for something that you’d like to eat on regular bases, though. You’ve been warned. Bread is very good in Reykjavik – visit this very sweet shop called Braud & Co. (16, Frakkastígur, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland). Further up, there is a very nice coffee shop called Reykjavik Roasters.

Braud & Co Reykjavik

Mayor of Reykjavik

The current mayor of Reykjavik is Dagur Bergþóruson Eggertsson. The previous mayor was Jón Gnarr, who was a successful and well-known comedian and actor and originally the whole thing was a joke. Surprisingly his Best Party’s campaign was successful and he won and served as the Mayor of Reykjavík from 2010 to 2014. His campaign promise was to make Reykjavik a fun place.  He wrote a book about his four years as a mayor of Reykjavik called ‘How I Became the Mayor of a Large City in Iceland and Changed the World’. Eddie Izzard, a British comedian, is going to run for mayor of London in 2020. I’m not sure why and how Eddie decided to run for mayor but I’m sure Eddie Izzard is reading his book to learn from his mistakes and successes to become the next mayor of London.

Interesting buildings

Harpa Concert Hall is a modern cultural centre that sparkles like a jewel on the city’s waterfront with great views. There is a 30-minute guided tour inside.

Top feng shui tips for Icelanders

1) Get better sleep

During the summer, sleeping in total darkness is essential for melatonin production. Make sure that you have totally blacked out windows or wear sleep masks. I’ve noticed that many houses have inadequate blinds that let in light which will definitely disturb sleep. Earthquakes and geopathic stress are connected and since Iceland is a volcanic country and there are fault lines – check for geopathic stress lines in your bedroom. Read how to feng shui your bedroom

2) Get more plants

A sense of control and security is very important to humans and research from environmental psychology confirms that. Humans hate uncertainty. Nature and weather are very prominent and unpredictable in Iceland. Icelanders can’t control the weather, volcanos and earthquakes. But they have control over the plants and their homes (that’s why homes are important to Icelanders) – so, add more plants in your home or garden. If you need more prosperity in your life – get a money plant. Read more about feng shui plants

3) Add more pleasure, joy and fun things to your homes and workplaces.

Jón Gnarr, the previous mayor of Reykjavik run his campaign on happiness and fun. Even though Iceland ranks high on the happiness index (in third place in 2017, behind Denmark and Norway), more fun and pleasure will always work for your homes and workplaces. Steven Johnson in his book ‘Wonderland – How play made the modern world’ suggests that it is play and fun that drive and progress humanity (not war or other domains). Nations that value fun and pleasure have higher rates of innovation and creativity. Add fun games, puzzles, sensual and pleasurable objects and anything that brings a smile to your face and others.

The post Feng Shui of Reykjavik. Feng Shui Bagua of Reykjavik. Feng Shui Bagua of Iceland. Feng Shui Consultant in Reykjavik. appeared first on Feng Shui London UK • The Capital Feng Shui Consultant.

As a feng shui expert and environmental psychologist with over 40 years of professional practice, my extensive experience in feng shui, vastu shastra, and environmental psychology uniquely positions me to guide the design of sustainable and healthy eco-villages, towns, and cities. Born in Zamość, a Renaissance gem in South Poland, my design ethos is deeply influenced by harmonious architectural principles, which I detail further on my blog (fengshuilondon.net). Currently, I am undertaking my PhD research in feng shui, with a specific focus on optimising the design of bedrooms and workplaces.

1. Theoretical Foundations

1.1 Feng shui and Human–Environment Interaction
Feng shui, an ancient Chinese geomantic practice, emphasises harmonious interactions between human beings and their surroundings by managing the flow of qi, the vital life energy. Effective eco-village designs use natural landscapes and intentional architecture to ensure optimal energy circulation (Li, 2010).

1.2 Environmental Psychology and Design
Environmental psychology studies how physical environments influence human wellbeing, health, and behaviour. Design principles such as restorative environments, natural views, daylighting, and biophilic elements significantly enhance community health (Kaplan & Kaplan, 1989; Ulrich, 1984).

1.3 Integrating Vastu Shastra
Vastu shastra, the traditional Indian system of architecture, aligns spaces with natural energies to promote prosperity, health, and psychological balance, closely resonating with feng shui (Jain, Sharma, & Kumar, 2012).

2. Site Selection and Contextual Analysis

Optimal site selection is foundational for a sustainable eco-village:

• Topography: Incorporate protective mountains and nourishing water bodies, using classic feng shui principles of armchair configuration and Prospect-Refuge Theory (Appleton, 1975)
• Geopathic Stress: Map geopathic stress lines and avoid them in key areas, especially bedrooms (Nieuwenhuijsen et al., 2015).
• Soil Health: Test for contaminants per EPA and WHO standards.
• Ecological Networks: Maintain biodiversity corridors and habitats (Tzoulas et al., 2007).
• Check Geological Hazards: Evaluate for fault lines, tectonic plate boundaries, active or dormant volcanic zones, seismic activity and related geohazards. Assess also for radon risk – natural radioactive gas often concentrated along faults and in uranium‑rich bedrock (Chen et al., 2018; Gillmore et al., 2001). Mapping such hazards is essential to prevent structural, environmental and long‑term health issues .

3. Layout Principles and Spatial Design

3.1 Macro-layout: Plan layouts harmonised with cardinal directions, solar patterns, and local landscapes to optimise feng shui energy.
3.2 Micro-layout: Incorporate water bodies, greenery, and communal spaces strategically to enhance local qi flow.
3.3 Transition Zones: Create green buffers and edges to soften transitions and improve ecological balance (Ulrich, Simons, & Losito, 1991).
3.4 Harmonising Rectilinearity and Curvilinearity: A balanced eco-village layout integrates both rectilinear geometry for efficiency and spatial clarity, and curvilinear elements for softness, flow, and natural resonance. Environmental psychology research shows that people tend to prefer and feel more comfortable in environments that blend straight lines with organic forms (Vartanian et al., 2013). From a feng shui perspective, this balance allows for the structured stability of yang (rectilinearity) and the flowing receptivity of yin (curves), enhancing the spatial qi. Paths, water features, and garden beds may follow gentle arcs, while buildings retain clear edges and defined perimeters for structure and orientation.
3.5 Central Marketplaces and Social Plazas: Village life across cultures has always centred around communal gathering spaces, particularly central marketplaces. These function not only as economic hubs but also as vital public arenas for social interaction, celebration, and the reinforcement of community identity. According to Alexander, Ishikawa, and Silverstein (1977) in A Pattern Language, successful public spaces share common features: accessibility, enclosure, human scale, and multifunctionality. Designing a central marketplace within an eco-village strengthens the social fabric, enhances resilience, and promotes inclusivity.
3.6 Sacred Geometry and Symbolic Design: Incorporating sacred geometry into eco-village planning aligns the built and natural environments with universal patterns found in nature, such as the golden ratio, Fibonacci sequence, and flower of life. These configurations are not only aesthetically pleasing but are thought to support coherent energy fields, reduce stress, and foster spiritual resonance. When pathways, communal buildings, gardens, or even whole village layouts follow sacred geometric principles, they contribute to a sense of harmony and cosmological alignment. Both feng shui and vastu shastra traditions include symbolic orientation, proportion, and number symbolism, which align naturally with sacred geometry principles (Lawlor, 1982).

4. Building Design for Health and Energy Efficiency

4.1 Passive Solar and Natural Ventilation: Buildings should use south-facing glazing, thermal mass, and ventilation for energy efficiency and health.
4.2 Clean Building Materials: Prioritise non-toxic, low-VOC materials and sustainably sourced timber (Riley & Diez-Ulloa, 2005).
4.3 Electrosmog Mitigation: Minimise electromagnetic fields (EMFs), dirty electricity, etc with shielded cables and wired internet to reduce electrosmog (Röösli, 2008).

5. Renewable Energy and Services

5.1 Solar Energy Without Dirty Electricity: Install PV systems with sine-wave inverters and filters to reduce dirty electricity (Mahdavi & Taheri, 2013).
5.2 Ground-source Heat Pumps: Use trench installations that minimise geopathic interference.
5.3 Rainwater and Filtration Systems: Implement comprehensive rainwater harvesting and whole-house filtration with biochar or reverse-osmosis systems.
5.4 Greywater Recycling: Utilise natural reed-bed filtration to sustainably manage wastewater (EPA, 2014).

6. Landscape, Ecology, and Community Spaces

6.1 Edible and Medicinal Landscapes: Incorporate polycultural systems for ecological health and community nutrition (M’Gonigle, 2010).
6.2 Geomantic Garden Design: Gardens should employ feng shui principles such as spiral patterns and circular arrangements.
6.3 Play and Ceremonial Spaces: Include meditation gardens, central plazas, and labyrinths for community engagement.

7. Community Aspect: Environmental Psychology in Eco-Village Design

As an environmental psychologist with over 40 years of expertise, I understand that healthy and sustainable communities go beyond physical structures. A well-designed eco-village nurtures community cohesion, mental wellbeing, and social resilience through thoughtful integration of environmental psychology principles (Gifford, 2014).

7.1 Creating a Sense of Community (SoC)
Environmental psychology research highlights the importance of fostering a robust Sense of Community. Designing eco-villages involves intentional planning for frequent, casual interactions that reinforce social bonds, including centrally placed gathering areas and pedestrian-friendly streets (McMillan & Chavis, 1986). Design community-centric areas for social cohesion (McMillan & Chavis, 1986).

• Checklist:

  • Centralised community plazas or squares

  • Shared pedestrian and cycling pathways

  • Accessible multi-purpose community spaces

7.2 Place Attachment and Identity
Strong place attachment – emotional bonds between people and their environment – is central to community wellbeing (Lewicka, 2011). Eco-villages designed with clear local identities, using historical, cultural, or symbolic elements, create a deeper emotional resonance.

• Checklist:

  • Integrate cultural and historical references into designs

  • Preserve or recreate local landscape features (e.g. native plantings)

  • Personalise public spaces through community-created artwork or gardens

7.3 Social Capital and Collective Action
Well-designed eco-villages promote social capital by enhancing networks of trust, mutual assistance, and shared purpose (Putnam, 2000). Environmental psychology studies confirm that environments promoting regular, cooperative activities build long-term resilience and community empowerment.

• Checklist:

  • Community gardens, orchards, or food forests

  • Spaces designed explicitly for collective tasks (e.g. workshops, shared maintenance areas)

  • Facilities encouraging sustainable lifestyle collaboration (e.g. communal kitchens, co-housing arrangements)

7.4 Restorative Environments and Mental Health
Integrating restorative environments—areas supporting psychological recovery and stress reduction—is vital. Nature-rich settings designed according to feng shui principles, such as strategically placed water features and green views, facilitate mental restoration and emotional healing (Kaplan, 1995; Ulrich, 1984).

• Checklist:

  • Quiet, contemplative spaces like meditation gardens or sensory paths

  • Water features positioned to maximise visual and auditory tranquillity

  • Natural seating areas with landscape views

7.5 Participatory Design and Governance
Participatory design processes enhance residents’ sense of ownership, responsibility, and satisfaction with their environment (Sanoff, 2000). As an expert in both feng shui and environmental psychology, I facilitate inclusive design processes that empower community members in decision-making and stewardship roles.

• Checklist:

  • Community workshops for co-designing spaces

  • Participatory budgeting and planning meetings

  • Regular forums for community feedback and adaptive improvements

7.6 Green Organic Farms
Integrating green, organic farms into eco-villages ensures food security, improves soil health, supports biodiversity, and enhances community self-sufficiency. Polyculture and permaculture approaches promote resilience against climate change while reducing reliance on chemical fertilisers and pesticides. These systems encourage closed-loop ecological cycles and align with feng shui principles of living harmoniously with the land (M’Gonigle, 2010).

7.7 Sustainable and Reliable Energy
Sustainable energy systems such as solar photovoltaic panels, wind turbines, and micro-hydro schemes should be implemented alongside reliable energy storage solutions. Smart grid integration and use of clean inverters reduce dirty electricity and electrosmog while maintaining energy independence. These systems should be located with sensitivity to geomantic energy lines and community needs (Mahdavi & Taheri, 2013).

7.8 Transpersonal and Spiritual Dimensions
In eco-village planning, it is increasingly recognised that communities thrive not only through ecological and social cohesion, but also by addressing deeper transpersonal needs. A sense of connection to something greater—whether experienced as nature, spirit, or the cosmos—can foster meaning, resilience, and collective wellbeing. Integrating contemplative spaces, ceremonial areas, and opportunities for shared rituals supports this dimension. From a feng shui perspective, these spaces anchor the shen qi (spirit energy) of the place, encouraging inspiration, purpose, and harmony at the soul level. Transpersonal psychology affirms that such environments can enhance states of self-transcendence and belonging, essential for long-term community flourishing (Rowan, 2005; Vaughan, 1995).

Integration into Existing Expertise
Incorporating the community-oriented aspects of environmental psychology enhances the holistic, scientifically grounded framework of eco-village design. Leveraging my decades-long experience in feng shui, vastu shastra, and environmental psychology allows communities to flourish physically, psychologically, and socially—creating resilient, vibrant, and sustainable habitats.

8. Monitoring, Maintenance and Adaptive Sustainability

Regularly evaluate air quality, EMF, geopathic stress and soil health. Facilitate adaptive improvements based on community feedback.

9. Electrosmog, Geopathic Stress, and Water, Indoor Air Quality

Deploy EMF shielding fabrics and geopathic stress harmonisers to maintain healthy indoor environments. Install robust HEPA and carbon filtration systems and water filtration, if necessary.

10. Checklist

• Site Selection: Topography, biodiversity, geopathic stress mapping…
• Building Design: Passive solar, clean materials, EMF protection…
• Renewable Systems: Solar energy with clean inverters, greywater recycling…
• Interior Health: Whole-house filtration, EMF and air quality control…
• Community Design: Shared spaces, restorative environments, organic farms, participatory design…
