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.

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, Suite #100. $39.
