Feng Shui for
Business and Work
Tuesdays, 7:15-9:15pm
Oct. 12-26, 3 weeks
All successful business people know that
it is important to consider every aspect of all their business
opportunities. Feng Shui is one consideration. This ancient practice
of design can usher in good fortune and harmonizing "chi"
to every place where we work. This course will focus on: how to
choose a good site for your business, the layout of the workplace
and design of office spaces, how to attract more customers and
the use of the guide or bagua to improve productivity, encourage
employee harmony and create a comfortable yet stimulating space
in which to work. 622-0170. Open University, 2030 E. Broadway,
Suite #100. $39.

Feng Shui for the Home
Thursdays, 7:15-9:15pm
Sept. 23-Oct. 7 or Oct. 28-Nov. 11, 3 weeks
A home is not just a shelter or an empty
shell of plaster, wood or brick in which we move our furniture,
appliances, personal belongings and selves. It is a major influence
on our minds, bodies, feelings, habits and lives. As a result,
our home affects our "chi." Join this course to learn
how to improve wealth, health and happiness through the use of
Feng Shui. We will use a balanced combination of both intuitive
and Black Hat Sect Feng Shui to incorporate individual styles,
needs and tastes. 622-0170. Open University, 2030 E. Broadway,
