Mindful Design School is a new way to learn feng shui. Our unique live and online training programs takes an holistic approach to learning the art of feng shui. Mindful design is about promoting a better way of living and creating sacred spaces that support and nourish.

We believe that a balance of knowledge and intuition, while honoring the wisdom of the lineage, is key to becoming an effective feng shui practitioner.

The Mindful Design Feng Shui Certification Program teaches you the methods, tools, and skills of this transformational practice. Our goal is to empower our students and graduates to become informed, confident, and energy aware. In doing so they learn how to inspire others to live a more mindful life with feng shui.

The Mindful Design Certification Program

  • Six-month 100+ hour mentorship program
  • Runs once per year from February to July
  • Taught completely live and online 
  • Live weekly teaching sessions of the curriculum 
  • Experiential learning with 8 real-life client consultant audits  

The Mindful Design Feng Shui certification program is completely live and online, where students study with teachers Anjie Cho and Laura Morris in real time. In Level 1 we begin our new certification class with an immersive live weekend that allows students to quickly gain a solid feng shui foundation. After the Level 1 intensive weekend we dive deeper into the practice with Level 2 material. Students meet each week in live class sessions with their teachers Laura & Anjie. Plus throughout the program students are supported by breakout sessions led by qualified teaching assistants, these sessions allow students to review material, share and get to know their fellow classmates. Each student also receives a mini feng shui consultation of their own home.

This program is for beginners as well as feng shui experts. No prior experience with feng shui is required.

Enrollment is limited to 21 students because Anjie & Laura work closely with each student.

By the end of Level 2 students are able to lead a one-on-one consultation with a client. They have an understanding of how to read a client’s home and energy, and they have the tools and knowledge to adjust a space using specific feng shui cures and techniques. 

FENG SHUI CASE STUDIES – TWO CLIENT CONSULTATIONS

Each student is required to complete two Feng Shui consultations. As students work through their consultations they are given hands-on support and in class guidance from both Laura and Anjie. Each student then creates an overview presentation of their two case study consultations and presents them to their cohort and teachers as a final class session. It is a fun and engaging last class where everyone shares their consultation experiences and practices their presentation skills.

GRADUATION & BLESSING CEREMONY

Each cohort has a graduation and blessing ceremony that celebrates the completion of the certification program. Senior Black Sect teachers and former grads join in the celebration where Laura and Anjie lead a beautiful closing ceremony that honours each student’s achievement.

CONNECTING WITH YOUR COMMUNITY & COHORT

When you join the Mindful Design certification program you also become part of a bigger community. To foster this, students are placed in smaller breakout groups where they meet weekly to review and discuss the material they are learning. These small study groups allow students to connect further with their fellow classmates and cohort.

Lifetime access: not only do grads and alumni have lifetime access to the recordings from their own class, they are also invited to audit all future live classes and classroom client consultations.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING AND REAL-LIFE CONSULTATIONS 

Included with this program: students will audit 8 feng shui consultations by Laura and Anjie with actual clients. In these consultations students will see how the feng shui material they are learning is applied in real-life client situations. Students observe first-hand how feng shui practitioners co-create, guide and hold space for clients who are looking to improve the energy in their homes and lives.

BUSINESS BUILDING SUPPORT

Included in the Mindful Design Feng Shui certification program is a business launch package. We created a 5-part business building course that walks new graduates through business building basics one step at a time: goal setting, branding, pricing, client engagement plus much more… learn more here

READ GRADUATE TESTIMONIALS

“Anjie and Laura are wonderful teachers. They approach feng shui from a standpoint that is in depth and well informed. Because of their combined years of practice in architecture, design and feng shui, they are able to offer valuable teachings from real world experience. They’ve given me a foundation of teachings that allow me to be a confident practitioner of feng shui. An essential part of this experience was being able to watch Anjie and Laura as they performed feng shui consultations. Demonstration is very much at the heart of what they do and it’s what originally drew me to their program.

           – Jamie Youngheart, graduate and certified Mindful Design Feng Shui School consultant

“More than just another course! Mindful Design School has been a challenge and an exercise in staying present and trusting the process. While the material slowly sunk in, my engagement and confidence grew. As a stay-at-home mom searching for my “second-act”, I discovered Feng Shui brought together my passions for mindfulness and creativity. Working with people again and using my intuition has given me new purpose and so much joy! Rather than sacrifice or compromise, this work allows me to express who I am today and I am equally excited by how much more I have to learn. With renewed self-assurance the future feels so bright.

           – Laura Metrano, graduate and certified Mindful Design Feng Shui School consultant

“There is nothing like this course! This comprehensive course offers community; connection; deeper understanding of the Feng Shui principles and teachings; and a compassionate and heart-centred approach to working with future clients. It has been a transformational experience and I would recommend it in a heartbeat!

           – Beverley G., graduate and certified Mindful Design Feng Shui School consultant
