September: We have two workshops and one special event scheduled this month.

• Feng Shui Workshop - Understanding & Manipulating Energy Around You
  Instructor - Keith
  Sunday September 14th - 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.
  Fee: 2 class credits or $35 for visitors.
  
  After several postponements, in September we will have an introductory-level workshop on Feng Shui. Feng Shui is a profound Chinese art that focuses on landscapes and spaces. We've all been in houses or rooms that feel wonderful and others that don't feel quite right. The Chinese refer to the feeling or energy of places and spaces as Feng Shui, which translates as "Wind & Water." It's a combination of psychology, practicality, and energy (Chi).
  
  Many of you have had some prior exposure to Feng Shui. The discussions usually focus on simplistic do's and don'ts of home and office furniture placement. Many times, discussions of Feng Shui have a deterministic tone, such as "if you want more romance or wealth, then do __." We'll put these discussions in context drawing upon the rich traditions of Feng Shui, including the Form School, the Compass School, and the Black Hat School.
  
  The workshop will focus on how you can use Feng Shui to balance specific areas of your home and to make improvements in specific areas of your life. We'll also discuss any particular questions or issues that you have about your own homes or offices. So, before you come, take a good look around your home inside and outside. Make a drawing or bring a photo if you want to discuss something specific.
