Stems and Branches and the Chinese Calendar AS101 (also available on line)
You cannot understand the finer points of Chinese studies such as Feng Shui, Yi Jing, Astrology, Day Selection, etc. without understanding the Stems and Branches. The Stems and the Branches are some of the oldest Chinese characters. They were found often on the oracle bones, making them more than 4000 years old. They represent the cycles of the energies of heaven and the energies of earth, and have a profound effect on our well-being. They are based on yin and yang and the five elements, but have many other aspects to them. A good foundation in the Chinese calendar is also necessary. Most Westerners do not know that the Chinese had a solar calendar as well as a lunar one. In Feng Shui, we use the solar calendar, and serious Feng Shui students need to understand how this calendar works. Zi Wei Dou Shu astrology uses the lunar calendar, so this will also be discussed. This class will enable the student to understand the information presented in other classes so that they can apply those techniques accurately. It is a pre-requisite for some of the classes in Weeks 2 and 3 of the Intensive.
Date: Sunday, June 15, 2008; 2 to 5 pm

Week 2: More Advanced Feng Shui Classes
The first two days of this week will be Feng Shui Case Study Classes. In these, Master Sang shares some interesting and informative cases from his files. Case studies are important to show the real-world application of Feng Shui and to illustrate certain circumstances that tend to bring about a particular outcome. In addition, sentences from the old Chinese memorization poems about Feng Shui will be discussed. The ancients crystallized their knowledge into these poems, which are still relevant in Feng Shui readings today.
Case Study 1 and 2 FS301 and FS302 (not available on line)
* What makes occupants seldom stay home
* Why occupants of a house tend to like to drink alcohol
* Why female occupants in a house tend to look younger and prettier
* Why an occupant hangs himself
* Why an occupant needs surgery
* Why an occupant had throat cancer
* Construction tips related to the 5 yellow star and the door

Date: Tuesday, June 17, 2008; 10 am to 5 pm
Prerequisite: FS201 Advanced Feng Shui
The following three days are a detailed introduction into Yin House Feng Shui, the art and science of determining a proper grave site. Yin House is important, not only to give your ancestors a comfortable resting place, but also because a grave site has an important influence on the fortunes of the next three generations. The complete details of Yin House reading cannot be contained in three days of class, but a good start can be made in this time. Yin House Feng Shui is rarely taught in the West, so this is a great opportunity.
Yin House Feng Shui, Introduction to the Environment (New Class, not available on line)
This class goes over the principles of selecting a good environment for a grave site. Some of these principles are quite different from Yang House (buildings for the living).
Date: Wednesday, June 18, 2008; 10 am to 5 pm
Prerequisite: FS201 Advanced Feng Shui
Yin House Feng Shui, Introduction to the Qi Calculation (New Class, not available on line)

Date: Thursday, June 19, 2008; 10 am to 5 pm
Prerequisite: FS201 Advanced Feng Shui, Stems and Branches AS101

We will visit some nearby cemeteries to practice applying the principles learned in the previous two days. Students will carpool, so please let us know if you are willing to drive.
Date: Friday, June 20, 2008; 10 am to 5 pm (If you are catching an airplane after class, please leave extra time in case traffic and circumstances cause delays.)
Prerequisite: FS201 Advanced Feng Shui

Week 3: Zi Wei Dou Shu Astrology Classes
Zi Wei Dou Shu is a Chinese astrology that describes your past, present and future in twelve life categories, such as Career, Spouse, Travel, etc. It involves numerous calculations to locate more than 100 stars, and a complex system of interpretation based on a lifetime reading, ten-year and one-year periods of time. This method was developed in the Song Dynasty, about 1000 years ago. It is still popular in China today. Zi Wei Dou Shu astrology offers great detail and wonderful insight but this class is intense, and the calculations are fairly sophisticated. We give more than a hundred pages of handouts.
Required Materials: Ten-Thousand Year Calendar. We offer an ebook version in English for $26 on our Website (www.amfengshui.com).
Zi Wei Dou Shu, Day 1 AS201 (also available on line)
Set up a chart and place the Fourteen Major Stars to get a description of the personality and lifetime trends.

Laozi’s Dao De Jing (New Class, not available on line)
The Dao De Jing has been the most important classic of Daoism for about 2,500 years. In it, Laozi tells us how to live a life that is satisfying and free from constraint. The secret is in emulating the flexibility and softness of water, in emptying, rather than filling. Master Sang has long studied the Dao De Jing and feels it holds the key to a life that is meaningful.
Date: Friday, June 27, 2008; 10 am to 5 pm
