Interior Alignment: A Professional Certification Course

You are invited to join a select group of like minded souls to engage in a course of study based in the mystical traditions of the East and the practical methods of the West. As a student of Interior Alignment, you are choosing to align yourself with, according to the International Feng Shui Guild, one of the largest schools of Feng Shui in America. This program is among the most expansive in the field of energy work with a special emphasis on energy design principles. It combines the application of Instinctive Feng Shui with the complementary practices of Space Clearing and Healthy Environments.

Learn to create sanctuary using the sacred practices of the ancient mystery schools from different cultures throughout the world. Through direct experience and inner journey work you will tap into your innate wisdom and enhance your ability to create extraordinary results for yourself and others. Interior Alignment not only teaches you how to work with the Feng Shui of a home, building or the landscape; it is also uniquely designed to incorporate other previously held disciplines and modalities into your practice. You will graduate with the ability to immediately begin or enhance your professional practice.

In teaching, I call upon my decades of experience as a trained Architect, Interior Designer and Certified Feng Shui Practitioner. My expertise in “creating sanctuary” will be the foundation of our course of study.

A recent graduate said, "As a workshop junkie who's been there and done it all... it was the most inspirational and fullfilling training I have ever done. I feel so blessed that I was a part of this course and am now part of the Interior Alignment community."

This intensive professional training course is designed to teach you everything needed to work in the fascinating and expanding field of energy work as you learn to transform ordinary space into sanctuary. Upon completion of the course, you will receive a Professional Certification diploma from the International Institute of Interior Alignment which gives you the credential of CPIA, Certified Practitioner of Interior Alignment. This includes both the Practitioner of Instinctive Feng Shui and Practitioner of Space Clearing formal titles. I look forward to you joining our unique group in this endeavor!

Mayacamas Ranch enjoys a Mediterranean climate, typified by hot dry summers and cool winters, that is ideal for the lush Napa and Sonoma vineyards. Nearly three million years ago, a volcano erupted, forming nearby Mount Konocti and Mount Saint Helena. The ranch and surrounding hills were created from the volcanic ash fall of this same explosion, resulting in a rugged topography of gullies, canyons, ridges and many petrified trees. This diverse landscape provides a haven for animals, birds and plants native to the region. Pine, fir and laurel trees flourish along with tenacious Manzanita and a host of wildflowers, including California poppies, indian paintbrush and wild iris.

Crowned by the Mayacamas Mountains and punctuated by plunging valleys, Mayacamas Ranch has long been known for its natural beauty. Native Yuki Wappo people assembled on these very grounds for ritual celebrations and community councils, forming a village that is the origin of the Mayacamas name. The ridgeline setting is a spectacular location for the 24 guestrooms, three indoor meeting venues and hilltop pool. With the majority of accommodations loosely clustered on ten acres, the remaining 70 acres provide ample opportunity to get away for private walks, rousing celebrations and quiet contemplation.

To instill balance in the world, one sacred space at a time.
Interior Alignment Practitioners worldwide embrace integrity, compassion and a generosity of spirit in all aspects of their work. The Institute offers a community of mutual love and support, inspiring each individual member to shine as they empower others in our world.

Plan to fly or drive to San Francisco where we will rendezvous as a group early the morning of Thursday February 7th.

From our meeting point you will be transported north through beautful scenery up to the Napa Valley. You will arrive at Mayacamas Ranch just in time to enjoy a wonderful organic meal from the mayacamas gardens and begin to get to know your fellow course adventurers.
