"And the trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, you risk more."

It is considered China’s oldest classical text, greatest sourcebook and the most famous oracle from ancient times to have survived intact into the 21st century. Every day/month/year is associated with a hexagram based on the I Ching. There are two hexagrams associated with the Year of the Water Rabbit -one that relates to the chart as a whole and one that represents just the year pillar. We

If you have ever spent time in Fernie, you know that it is an incredibly special place. Not only is it a stunningly beautiful valley completely surrounded in all directions by Rocky Mountains, but the magnificent Elk River cuts a majestic swath right through town. Coal, Lizard and Fairy Creeks all wind their way down their perspective valleys, plunging into the Elk, creating Qi (energy) that can be felt by all who live or spend time here. The Classical Feng Shui texts state

I started with simply washing my face. An act that I do twice a day often without a thought, but since I began the practice of finding ritual, I am conscious and aware and take my time to enjoy every part of the process. For

Change is upon us once again. As the Chinese New Year approaches, so too does a whole new global energy and focus. The Year of the Water Tiger is going to feel vastly different than the last two, but no less intense, as we continue to grow and evolve as a species. As we contemplate the changes that have occurred in the world and in us over the last 2 years, let us be uplifted. For it is from the most difficult of times that we learn and grow. On December 21, 2020 we experienc

One of the most important principals to understand is that 70 % of the energy in our homes comes from the landforms outside of them It was such a wonderful surprise for me to hear so many positive responses from friends and colleagues whenever I told them I was studying Feng Shui. The fun and interesting thing about that experience was how many different ideas people have about what Feng Shui is! The assumption I heard most often was that it was about the “arrangement of furn
