Sebastian began his studies of European Geomancy in Germany in 1996. Through this, he got in touch with Feng Shui. After reading many books on the subject, he felt a need to learn a more profound level of Feng Shui and study its authentic roots and scientific theories. So in 1999, Sebastian’s teacher of European Geomancy sent him to Master Larry Sang.

Today, Sebastian teaches Feng Shui classes at the American Feng Shui Institute. He also studies Yi Jing, Palm & Face Reading, Chinese Astrology, and Day Selection with Master Sang and is a member of the American Society of Feng Shui and the American Yi Jing Study Center.

He is the AFSI representative in Germany and works as a contact person for the Institute in Europe. He has developed the German Language site for the Institute at http://www.amfengshui.de.

“Master Sang and his teachings of Feng Shui have changed my life tremendously. I consider it very important to provide more people with the opportunity to learn about Feng Shui, the Yi Jing, and its deeper philosophy. We should use what we learn from it to make the people around us more satisfied, healthier, and successful. Because if people are happy around us, we will be happy, too.”
