NATURAL EYESIGHT IMPROVEMENT
Saturday, June 6th
9:30 a,m. to 5 p.m
(Feng Shui Information about vision will not be presented in this class. However, it will be covered in the Feng Shui & Health class offered on July 18th)
Learn techniques for maintaining and improving your eyesight. This fast-paced, experiential class is packed full of information about vision. You will discover how to maintain and improve the health of your eyes.
The basics of vision health and eyesight improvement are presented in a playful and unique format to assist you in integrating natural vision activities into your daily life. (Before becoming a full-time Feng Shui Consultant over twelve years ago, I spent ten years assisting people with their vision.)
Natural vision training is especially appropriate for anyone who is nearsighted, farsighted, has astigmatism, or "middle-aged" vision problems. This class is also recommended for people who want to maintain good eyesight and learn how to care for their eyes.
People with other vision problems are welcome and are expected to benefit. However, this class is designed to assist people with the problems mentioned above. Please phone to see if this class would be appropriate for you. (I always take a vision history over the phone before accepting students into this class and like to have a copy of your current prescription whenever possible.)
This year’s class will not offer Feng Shui information related to the eyes, but it will be offered in the Feng Shui & Health workshop to be offered on July 18th, along with information related to the other senses.
This class is a must for anyone who spends significant amounts of time on the computer, reading, or doing other close work.
FENG SHUI & HEALTH
One Day Workshop - Saturday, July 18th
9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Learn about specific health issues which are influenced by the spaces we occupy, including health concerns that class participants may be experiencing.
The connection between the Bagua, the chakras, and the physical body will be discussed and you will learn how to enhance chakra balance through the use of Feng Shui. Five Element theory information and special cures will be included when applicable to the specific illnesses we are discussing.
We will look at an unusual way of interpreting the Bagua that can shed light on mysterious health conditions.
This workshop begins with a short review of the principals of Feng Shui that are important to the understanding of how our health is impacted by our home and other spaces we occupy.
You will learn about the connection between your chakras and areas of the Bagua and how to enhance your chakra balance through the use of Feng Shui.
We will also cover how the structural and placement features in your home and property that influence your sensory perceptions, including vision and auditory skills.
Many of the cures and enhancements offered will be based on health problems and specific needs of the students attending—so after registration, I will be asking students to provide pertinent health information for themselves and family members.
Please bring a diagram of your bedroom showing the placement of your furniture. Also, if possible, bring a floor plan for the main floor of your home.

Offered in a Six Week or Two Day format
FENG SHUI & RELATIONSHIPS
One Day Workshop
CREATING WEALTH WITH FENG SHUI
Offered in a 6 Week or 2 full day format
This class is an in-depth exploration of Feng Shui principals that influence both the creation and retention of wealth.
We will cover issues such as missing areas and extensions, problem floor plans (such as split-level houses and buildings with odd shaped areas), and land features that affect wealth--including the placement of the house on the lot, the lot itself, and neighboring structures.
You will learn Feng Shui cures and methods for creating and retaining wealth, including the use of Feng Shui to enhance your practical money skills
There will be a suggested “homework” assignment designed, not only to acquaint you with Feng Shui wealth principals, but to also give you the experience of applying them to your own space.
During some sessions you will engage in process work related to your personal relationship with money and wealth. These processes are intended to help you expand your awareness and enable you to discover and release patterns around wealth that no longer work for you.
Other Topics Covered:
• The three primary components of wealth that must be firmly in place in order to create and sustain wealth
• The Yin & Yang of Money
• How each of the nine areas of the Bagua influence wealth
• Interior and exterior features in the home & lot which affect money flow

• A money game to promote wealth awareness
• Money cures and methods
• Karmic equivalents to specific money issues
• Other things about wealth you may not have considered
Students are encouraged to bring a floor plan of their home
Most classes are limited to eight participants.
Early registration is recommended
FENG SHUI FOR CLUTTERBUGS
Offered in a six week or two day workshop format
This class has been revised to cover new information and processes designed to empower you in clearing out old patterns around clutter.
Results reported by past students, (along with clearing large amounts of clutter and continuing to maintain good habits after the class is complete) are the experience of more clarity, increased energy, and more time to do the things that matter most. Many people have also lost weight and created other significant lifestyle changes.
You will learn how to clear closets, basements, garages, and handle other problem areas. You will also learn techniques for organizing your incomplete projects and reclaiming your desktop—in other words, eliminating and handling paper piles.
Basic Feng Shui principals, plus information on the symbolism of clutter gathered from advanced Feng Shui principals and other sources, will be woven in throughout the class.
You will engage in processes designed to assist you in shifting emotional patterns related to the compulsion to accumulate and keep things you no longer want or need.
A floor plan of your home is desirable, but not required.
This class is appropriate for both beginning & advanced Feng Shui students.
This class is for Clutterbugs only!
However, if you are not a clutterbug or you wish to take this class but are unable to, please contact me about taking it in a mentoring format.
FENG SHUI & RELATIONSHIPS
One Day Workshop
We will cover a variety of relationship issues and possible Feng Shui adjustments and methods--both personal and for your home.
Since the class is small, its focus will be largely determined by the needs and desires of the students attending. Each class is unique, but past classes have focused mainly on love, marriage, and business partnerships. However, issues around children, aging parents, and friendships can also be addressed.
Some of the topics that I will cover are:
• How all of the areas of the Bagua relate to Relationship
• The ideal Bedroom
• The affect of bedroom location on relationships
• How thee location of a child’s bedroom influences their life
• How interior features (such as placement of doors, ceiling lines, fireplaces, and furniture) affect relationships.
Landscaping and other exterior features that influence relationships
• The affect of predecessor energy.
• Creating solid partnerships in business.
Participants will find it useful to bring a floor plan of their home and their bedroom to refer to throughout the class.
This class is appropriate for both beginning & advanced students of Feng Shui.
TWO DAY INTRODUCTION TO FENG SHUI
This two-day workshop will cover the basic principals of Feng Shui in depth including the Bagua and other features (separate from the Bagua) that affect life in a profound way.
You will also learn about Five Element theory and how to apply the elements to both to your home and in personality diagnosis.
Other topics include balancing yin and yang, applications of color, and when the compass directions are important. You will be given special remedies and enhancements and the techniques for getting the most out of them.
This will be a very personal hands-on class. We will use the floor plans of students attending whenever possible to demonstrate how to apply these important principals.
Students are encouraged to bring pictures and floor plans (or blueprints, if a scaled down floor plan is not available) of their home.
