What are yinyang, five elements, and eight trigrams? These are ancient Chinese philosophical concepts going back thousands of years and even predating written language. They tell us about the relations and transformations between humans and the cosmos, and are still very much alive today in everyday practices of health and wellbeing. In this lecture, Dr. Zhang will explain these concepts by looking at how they are used in fengshui (geomancy) -- the art of creating an auspicious and healthy living arrange ment and environment. What is the connection between health and fengshui? Which kinds of practices does fengshui encompass? How do we live more healthily by creating a healthy living space? Join us to learn more.
