Using Feng Shui to Balance Masculine and Feminine Energy in the Home
Wednesday, September 7
6 - 8 pm
Zoom Only
Feng Shui is about balancing masculine and feminine energy. Learn how to create balance in your home environment, creating a sense of ease in daily life.
Masculine and feminine energy is often discussed as Yin and Yang: Yang features will make the space feel more active, whereas yin features will promote a more relaxing atmosphere. Being aware of how to balance the two can harmonize your space energetically and promote a healthy, nurturing home life. This is especially important when integrating the contrasting masculine and feminine energies of the people living in the space.
Facilitator Wyming Sun, studied three years with the fourth ranking master of the Blue Dragon Lineage from Taiwan.
