Introduction to Feng Shui

Lakewood Recreation Department is offering Introduction to Feng Shui instructed by Kristine Pagsuyoin. Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese art thousands of years old, is working with the energy (chi) in our space to help us align ourselves with what we most want and desire. In an Introduction to Feng Shui, students will learn about the basic principles of Feng Shui and their application to balance the chi at home or at the specific outcomes (such as attracting a new job). Those who have taken a previous Feng Shui course and want to further their study or consult, or those who are interested in starting a new journey of self-discovery are invited to register. This unique class is a 6-week, hands-on, session that will allow students to begin applying Feng Shui to their lives right from the beginning. The first class will take place in the classroom; however, each class thereafter will be held at the home of a student. We will visit the home of a different student each week to examine, diagnose, and make Feng Shui suggestions. Students will determine the week of their visit, and the section of their home that they would like to Feng Shui. Students should come prepared each week with a pen and paper as well as their manual (given out in class the first night of the session). In addition, students will be asked to complete weekly assignments. Class limit 5. (6 weeks)

Wednesdays 9/17-10/22 7:00-9:00 p.m.
