Curriculum

The Professional Training Program will teach you everything you need to know to become a competent feng shui consultant. Our core curriculum is based on six 4-day modules, comprised of:

Foundation and Form School

An exploration of the origins and history of feng shui, the different schools of feng shui, the development of feng shui's most powerful tools and an explanation of the underlying principles that allow feng shui to work; with a strong emphasis on "Form School"(one of the 2 original schools of feng shui).

• Introduction to the Lo Pan Compass
• The Trigrams and the Ba Gua
• 9 Star Ki Astrology

We continue our journey with an introduction to Compass School feng shui (the second of the original 2 schools of feng shui). Using the Western Lopan developed by Roger Green, as a reference, you will be led to an exploration of what is possible when you combine the 8 compass directions with the dynamics of yin/yang and the 5 elements theory.

Flying Star Techniques

We enter into the exploration of Flying Star Feng Shui and a more in-depth and advanced study of the Lo pan Compass. The Universe is ever changing and natural influences evolve with the passage of time. Flying Star Feng Shui incorporates the elements of time and space. It will enable you to trace the pattern of change through the 20 year periods called "ages". It makes it possible to access the fortune of a dwelling. With practice, one can learn how to unblock energies that affect the aspects of prosperity and health in a dwelling.

Advanced Lo Pan Compass

The lopan compass is the essential tool in classical feng shui. Its many rings reveal vital information in assessing a dwelling or building site and contain a large body of knowledge that encompasses classical Chinese philosophy, numerology and cosmology. The Chinese Lopan can take a very long time to master since it requires prior learning of the Chinese characters. The Western Lopan developed by Roger Green simplifies the process and makes it easier for the western student to learn and use.

Guided Site Visits

Students will have the opportunity to gain practical experience and apply everything they have learned in a holistic way.

Four Pillars of Tao Astrology

Enter into the fascinating study of a very important system based on Taoist Metaphysics and Cosmology. Used extensively by feng shui experts in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Four Pillars is an ancient system that reveals aspects of destiny, constitutional dynamics, and beneficial elements. This sophisticated method is as useful for deriving important and very personal feng shui information about feng shui clients as well as clearly revealing aspects of their character.
