Feng Shui Design Workshop
Life today is hectic! There is no denying it. Our priorities have shifted towards the workplace and away from our families and personal well-being. It's truly a luxury to spend just a moment to take in the surroundings around us. With so little time to appreciate life's little wonders, you can often be left with a feeling of unease, a feeling that you are out of sync with your environment. This is why more and more people are turning to feng shui consultants to help them regain and maintain a well-balanced lifestyle.
In response to the growing demand in this field, we have developed a brand new workshop: Become a Professional Feng Shui Consultant. This two-day workshop, led by Helen Varekamp of Huron Hearth and Home, will teach you everything you need to know to start your own business as a feng shui consultant. You'll learn how to apply the principles of feng shui to the design of any room so you can create beautiful and harmonious spaces that improve energy, health, and happiness.

We'll show you how you can use your natural talent of getting organized to start a successful business and pursue countless market opportunities. At the workshop you'll receive an information-packed guidebook for the professional organizer, business templates, contact software and much more!
