9:30 am – A Day of Fashion Feng Shui with Andrea Dupont, FFSM
Fashion and current trends can only take you and your clients halfway to fulfillment and success. Why? Because what you wear is as influential on your life as your surroundings. Fashion Feng Shui® is an innovative, transformational way of getting dressed, inspired by the ancient Chinese art of placement, Feng Shui. Feng Shui promotes energetic balance in your working and living environments so you may live a happier, healthier, more prosperous existence. Fashion Feng Shui teaches you how to dress with mindfulness and intention so that your clothes express your authenticity, create energetic balance and attract your deepest desires.
Join Fashion Feng Shui Master Andrea Dupont for a full day of fun and interactive discovery as we explore: Essence – Spirit | Intention – Mind | Appearance – Body
Fashion Feng Shui’s Five Elemental Archetypes are used to describe physical appearance, your goals and lifestyle.
- Water – The Philosopher
- Wood – The Pioneer
- Fire – The Pleasure Seeker
- Earth – The Peacemaker
- Metal – The Perfectionist
Through the eyes of Fashion Feng Shui you will discover who you are from the inside out in a whole new way.
- Learn how to choose colors, patterns, textures, fabrics and silhouettes that authentically communicate who you are and what you wish to be, do and have.
- Discover how you can wear all Five Elements to naturally energize your appearance.
- Formulate a Fashion Feng Shui Elemental Wardrobe Plan that enhances your personal energies.
