The Art of Feng Shui: Creating Harmony in the Home

hosted by tea at shiloh

ABOUT

Join us on the new moon to learn about feng shui and how to apply this ancient healing art of placement in your bedroom. 

Feng shui is a practice that explores qi, life force energy, and how we can live in flow and harmony with our environments. It is a mindfulness of space, with an invitation to see and connect with the details in your home. In this workshop, you will learn how you can see your bedroom as a mirror for your heart with the feng shui mandala, furniture placement, color, and intention.

In addition, we will honor the first new moon following the autumnal equinox 秋分 qiūfēn. When the new moon is dark in the sky, it is an opportunity for a yin offering of space, creativity, and manifestation. What do you want to cultivate? Together we will create a new moon offering and set an intention to shift your qi with feng shui.

Please bring a journal and something to write with.

Saturday, January 13, 2024

10am – 12pm PST (1-3pm EST)

Feng shui teaches that we are interconnected and interdependent. This includes the spaces that we live in and engage with every day. We are not separate from our homes, our spaces, or the objects and people that surround us. How can we begin to connect to and appreciate our world, and see the beauty in each moment? 

In her new book Mindful Homes [CICO 2023], Anjie Cho explains how we can start by paying attention to the details around us. Feng shui and mindfulness can help us to slow down, be more aware, and create spaciousness to give birth to more joy, creativity, and community. 

Join us for a day-long retreat and learn simple practices to cultivate a healing living space, including creating intentional spaces, mindfulness meditation, and offering gratitude to deities and to your home itself. We will review the meaning of areas in your homes, how to use a feng shui crystal ball, the art of placement in one’s bedroom, as well as working with the bagua mandala on one’s bed. There will be sitting practice, group discussions, and a mindful walk.

This Mindful Spaces retreat will inspire you to look at your environment with fresh eyes and create a space that enhances happiness and wellbeing to welcome the new year!

What you will Gain

• An introduction to, or reconnection with, meditation practice

• A basic understanding of feng shui for the home

• Tips for how to make your home a more intentional, healing, and mindful space

• Greater awareness of your environment and surroundings – both inside and outside

• Connection with other meditators and people interested in creating a mindful home!
