About the Course

Today as the Eastern and Western cultures become more intertwined we find ourselves taking the best from each and creating a more blended approach to life.

With this course we have endeavoured to create a new perspective of Feng Shui that combines the essence of the Eastern ideology and merges it with the more practical attitudes of the West. I have purposely left out any reference to superstition, this is not to say that it is wrong, just that in relation to Interior Decoration and Design I believe it complicates the issue and takes us away from the real and original intent of Feng Shui – which is to create a better balance of energy in our lives and our homes.

This course is open to anyone who has an interest or love of design & decoration and wants to understand it in more detail through the study of Feng Shui.
