Special Interest Courses
These courses serve two distinct groups of people:
- Practitioners wishing to continue their training in Specialist areas and earn CPD points towards their continuing Accredited status (see below for more detail). The Feng Shui Society now requires you to achieve 30 CPD points (continuing Professional Development) in each of the first 5 years of your accredited status. (15 thereafter). Each day of these courses credits you with 8 points (Example: If you take Feng Shui for Businesses and 'The Amazing Power of Colour' courses, you would earn 32 points – enough for the whole year).
If you take 15 days of special interest courses in total you will receive The Feng Shui Academy's prestigious 'Advanced Practitioner' Diploma - For those who may not wish to become a practitioner the following Courses give an opportunity to learn more about specific areas of interest within Feng Shui. Our selection is made up of individual subjects from the Practitioner Training Course (PTC) as well as the extra 'Advanced specialist courses'. The individual days from the PTC can be taken by anyone with the following exceptions:
- The consultations, consultation skills and case studies days from the PTC are for Practitioner trainees only.
The Advanced Geopathic stress can only be done after the Geopathic Stress day. (The 'Intuition' day will be helpful for the geopathic stress days although not essential) - The day on relationships can only be done after the 9 star Ki astrology day. (Both of these days need some knowledge of the 5 elements.)
- The days on Symbolism & Artwork would benefit from some knowledge of the 5 elements.
- The day on FS for business would benefit from some knowledge of compass and 3 gate Baguas.
- The 2 'compass' days can only be taken together.

1) Feng Shui for Businesses ~ Robert Gray
Please see the Booking & Fees page for dates and to reserve your place.
This is your opportunity to attend a highly inspiring course on applying Feng Shui to Businesses, large and small.
This 3 day workshop aims to give you an in-depth insight into the true nature of Feng Shui in the workplace.
Applying Feng Shui to businesses can be a radically different process to that of homes and here you will learn all the ‘know-how’.
Critically, you will not only discover how to IMPLEMENT effective Feng Shui in business consultations but the processes and politics involved in WINNING the projects in the first place without wasting your time and money on the wrong people and the wrong projects.
Robert Gray (see his Feng Shui for business expertise below) will guide you, step-by-step, through his analysis of many different case studies (including large businesses like BUPA, Powergen and Kraft Foods) considering all the relevant information (see the list below). He will do this with the assistance of photographic slides of the businesses he has worked on, as well as film footage in some cases.
You will then be given Floor plans, consultation reports and full notes for many of these case studies which will not only help you fully understand the process but really help as invaluable reference material you when you start your own consultations.
“I wanted to write and let you know how much I thoroughly enjoyed your Business course. As usual you were awe-inspiring and a great example to me - a mentor indeed.” Christine Jay, Gloucester.
Some of the key aspects of each case study presented are:
Talking to the 'right' person within the company;
Are they talking to other FS consultants and how you can differentiate yourself and win the project;
Who is the 'Champion' and the Decision-Maker(s)
What is the Overall vision and key business objectives?
Marketplace factors
What is the state of the market in their chosen field and how might this affect their objectives
The Consultation

Robert’s expertise in applying Feng Shui for Businesses:
Robert Gray, your trainer is fully conversant with business issues and is experienced in the many areas necessary to provide an integrated consultancy service, therefore maximising the effectiveness of any workplace.
He does this by drawing on his experience of space planning, furniture & interior design & ergonomics. He integrates these disciplines with his knowledge of environmental psychology and his FS expertise.
Robert has an enviable reputation for his expertise in this area of Feng Shui backed up by high profile clients such as BUPA, SAP, Kraft Foods, Ernst & Young. The best way you could learn the distinctly different approach to feng shui necessary for the corporate market would be to attend 10 plus consultations with him and so the next best thing is to discuss the theory and then see it applied to real live situations. Together we will go through in depth case studies with many of Robert’s clients such as BUPA, Powergen, Kraft Foods and Office angels as well as smaller businesses such as Advertising agencies, restaurants, hotels, small office settings, etc. supported by many colour slides

2) Earth Healing Masterclass ~ Robert Gray
Please see the Booking & Fees page for dates and to reserve your place.
Having learnt how to heal harmful earth energy lines both inside and outside the home with acupuncture and crystals, this workshop will take you several big steps further.
- We will start by briefly re-capping on the GS material learnt so far in order to clear up any remaining queries.
- Next, by healing several Geopathic Stress lines with only one healing point. This will dramatically increase your efficiency at people’s homes. Discover how certain points in the land are like neural junctions and hold the key to healing many GS lines at once.
- Occasionally due to ongoing disruption to the land GS can repeatedly re-occur. In such cases one technique that can be successfully employed is to redirect the earth energy line around a home. You will discover the practical skills to integrate this technique into your FS practise.
- Peter will share his discoveries of how utilising the nourishing earth energies can neutralise harmful energies without exposing ourselves to their potential dangers. This is using the age-old principal of Yin and Yang balancing.
- Discover how to create a ‘safe haven’ in any home or garden so that you and your clients can more quickly recover from the harmful effects of GS and recharge their batteries on a daily basis
- You will spend a good deal of time mastering remote dowsing and remote healing. We will guide you through a step-by-step process to heal harmful energies from a distance. Prepare to be amazed!
By the end of the day on the same course each year every single participant has, to their surprise, successfully healed remotely! - Discover the hidden metaphors within earth energy patterns that can clearly illustrate an issue or dilemma in a client’s life.
Obviously these skills in your repertoire could transform your practice and set you apart from the vast majority of other practitioners. You can help people in other countries without having to find a baby sitter!!

A wonderful opportunity to discover the Physical, Emotional, Mental & Spiritual blockages in your own life and those of your clients.
This 2-day workshop will encompass the most comprehensive understanding & analysis of the myriad of ways in which our chi is affected.
We will examine many aspects of our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being in order for you to develop an individual chi mastery plan. The vast majority of approaches to health consider one or more well-being influences but rarely, if ever, consider the whole picture.
In ancient times our ancestors battled against the elements and hunger but in modern times we face different challenges often of a less obvious and less visible nature. Our senses are bombarded with many more potentially harmful stimuli than at any time in history: For example: much increased pressure and stress in the workplace; increased exposure to EMF and other radiation; vastly increased exposure to chemicals in our environment and in our foods; genetically engineered foods; poor air and water quality; the list goes on and on.
To remain healthy and happy we need to become more careful and pro-active to manage our Chi.

EMF Solutions ~ Robert Gray
(updated in 2011 - so suitable only for FS Academy practitioners who completed their training before September 2011)
Understanding the modern problem of increasing 'electrosmog' in our environments and most critically, how to create safer environments for yourselves and your clients.
1 day workshop recorded live in the classroom. Loads of great supporting notes.
This course counts as 1 day credits towards your Advanced Practitioner Certificate and 8 CPD (continuing professional development) points for your ongoing Feng Shui Society accredited status (FSSA).
This course builds upon the EMF day of the Practitioner Programme and completely updates the information and specifically the solutions for the increasing proliferation of EMF's in our home and work environments. As stated above, this is highly recommended for those who completed their Practitioner training with the Academy prior to September 2011, as students after that time will have received this course as part of their initial training.
When advising clients on creating healthyhomes and offices, this is the fastest changing area of all since technological 'advances' introduce more and more aplliances emitting 'electrosmog', as well as creating much better solutions.
If you haven't updated your knowledge in this area, you might be very limited in your offering of solutions, or worse still, be recommending outdated products that have since been shown to be ineffective.
The objective is that you will leave with a greater confidence in assessing and making recommendations for solving 'EMF pollution / electrosmog'. You will know that you are giving meaningful current advice to your clients.
Course Fees: £45 plus £4 p&p (£49 Total)
