Feng Shui With A Twist: an unexpected or different direction, method, or slant.

Before the Twist

After the Twist!

After the Twist!

Why the Twist? Have you read the books and watched the TV shows only to find yourself more confused about how Feng Shui works or where to begin? Do you feel like harmony and balance in your home is a good idea but your Feng Shui IQ mutated into IQ-ITIS? (I Quit It Is Too Hard.) Are you new to Feng Shui and just want a fun way to satisfy your curiosity and explore what this life-enriching practice has to offer? This workshop is for you!

What the Bleep is Fun-Shway? Bernadette’s playful, exploratory approach shows you how to activate the power of intention and attract into your home – and life – the best “chi for me.”

Fun-Shway is an attitude that offers a new pair of glasses through which to view what Feng Shui can do for you. (more…)
