Healthy Spaces – Healthy you Quantum Feng Shui: the Scientific System that Detects Environmental Effects on Health
2014-11-27 18:00 - 21:00 (Europe/London)
Quantum Feng Shui is a revolutionary scientific procedure that helps us to analyse and understand the effect that an environment has on our psycho-emotional state as well as our physical bodies. By highlighting any disharmony in the frequencies of the environment we find ourselves in, we can make subtle shifts to cause a relaxed instead of a stressed state in an individual.
SBID member Ann-Marie Weekes would like to invite you along to come and hear the new revelations in the science of Epigenetics and how our environments affect us at the cellular level and beyond.
We are bringing this new awareness to Interior Designers, Architects and those involved with the built environment to showcase that their designs affect people at a much deeper level than previously known.
