For Feng Shui practitioners, it is considered to be a crucial first step of their work. In this workshop we will learn how to perform specific techniques, rituals, blessings and chants from a variety of traditions to cleanse, consecrate and empower environments so they can be effective containers for our lives, and to create the underlying conditions that will permit further feng Shui adjustments to work most effectively. The material covered will include: the role of ritual in Feng Shui; the importance of intention; learning and using the Buddhist "Heart Calming Mantra" to start rituals; "clearing" a space with smoke, dowsing and sound; the use and construction of altars and flower offerings; and more. Note: No prior experience in Feng Shui is required.

Overview This week will be a refuge from the ordinary; a time to recognize the sacred in ourselves and in our surroundings. Amalfi Life combines its expertise on the authentic life of the Amalfi Coast with the talents of Judith Wendell, well known practitioner of Feng Shui and the healing arts, to offer a new way of experiencing this legendary region of Italy. The Chinese discipline of Feng Shui is about designing environments for healthy living and prosperity. Its tools are the five elements. On the Amalfi Coast nature's elements are in their fullest glory. Judith will teach us how the synergy of these elements creates balance in our inner and outer worlds. There will be guided walks on ancient trails, excursions to places of traditional culture and beauty, cruises, and sumptuous meals featuring the wholesome foods of the area.
