MAY 9 CHAPTER MEETING

Happy May! We hope you can join us at our next chapter meeting THIS
FRIDAY, May 9 at 7 PM at the South Snohomish County PUD Office
Auditorium, 21018 Highway 99,Edmonds WA 98026. $10 for non-members.

The topic this month is "Feng Shui for Success and Well Being" with
Cynthia Chomos.

Come discover the importance of the "person-place connection" and its
impact on the hypnotherapist and client. Explore more effective ways
to place furniture to support you and your client. Learn about the
importance of "sensory nutrition" and décor.

We're going to ask Cynthia to show us what we can do with our room at
the PUD as an example of how we can enhance the energy of our
meetings! If you have a photo or floor-plan of your office, feel free
to bring it and she may use it as an example if time permits.

Cynthia specializes in creating home and work environments for
success and well being. With a deep understanding of the laws of
nature, she uniquely combines Feng Shui principles and color design
with her passion to create inspiring spaces that nurture body mind
and spirit.

Cynthia is founder of the Feng Shui School for Real Estate Sales
providing quality education for real estate professionals throughout
Washington State. She has consulted on over 2,000 homes and
businesses and has been featured on radio, tv, in print, as well as a
speaker at the International Feng Shui Conference and conferences in
the Pacific Northwest.

All are welcome - feel free to bring friends and guests. We hope you
can join us for a fun evening of learning!
