DEAR SUN SPOTS: In January, I received a call from Ms. Sun Spots asking if I was still teaching Feng Shui classes. I wanted readers to know I have upcoming classes through the Cape Elizabeth Community Center starting in mid-April. There will be one class each Tuesday afternoon for three weeks. — Werner, Portland
ANSWER: The original question was from Sun Spotter, Jean. She had taken a class at Edward Little High School in Auburn that Werner Brandmaier had taught many years ago and wanted to find him again. He is from Austria and is the founder of the Institute of Feng Shui & Geopathology in Portland.
Werner helps clients improve their lives through education, the neutralization of harmful earth energies, and the application of Feng Shui principles. He can be reached at the institute at 772-7888 or you can email him at werner@instituteoffengshui.com.
The class being taught in Cape Elizabeth is “Feng Shui and How Our Home Influences Our Wellbeing.” It is described as “European research shows a clear correlation between good health and ancient design principles of Feng Shui. A well designed house is the center of happiness. Learn simple ways to test and improve the subtle energies of your home. We will discuss the most recent findings on earth related geopathic stress (earth grid lines) and electromagnetic fields from cellphones. Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? There will be hands-on dowsing and pendulum testing exercises. We invite you to bring a floorplan sketch for discussion in class.”
Walk- ins are welcome. The price is $30 per class (may be higher for non-residents) and will take place on Tuesdays from May 21 through June 4 from 1:00-2:30 p.m. Get more information at https://www.capecommunityservices.org/ or call 799-2868.
