Here before you is a gateway. One opening to an

understanding of the natural interconnection

between all things in this universe.

The nature of our existence is an interplay, uniting us with

our environment, uniting every thought and feeling we may

have with the world that we experience, uniting the tangible

and intangible, uniting form and mind. When we change

a space, we change an inner world. When we shift our inner

awareness, the world outside begins to change.

“Feng shui is about harnessing the chi, the life-force energy which ripples water, creates mountains and propels us along our life pathway. With an understanding of Feng Shui comes the recognition of the vital connection between person and place, health, success and happiness.”

—Manu Butterworth, Golden Gate School of Feng Shui Founder and Director

I welcome you to the world of Feng Shui as it appears through the eyes of the Golden Gate School of Feng Shui.

The school has been growing by leaps and bounds in recent years, due to our unparalleled curriculum in the art and application of classical Feng Shui, our commitment to ecological responsibility, and our wonderful teachers and community. There is simply no other school in the world like ours.

I find myself inspired almost daily when reading articles in mainstream magazines on ecological design,

eco-responsible lifestyles and ‘greening our lives’.

This inspiration and my own personal journey has led to the development of a curriculum which offers a strong focus on each of these areas, encouraging students to integrate ecological responsibility into their lives and communities.

We now offer even more support and training in the practical aspects of starting a career as a Feng Shui practitioner. A successful career in this field has become an achievable one, and graduates from our program are particularly sought after by individuals and businesses alike.

Over the years, I have witnessed our students experiencing some wonderful effects of their training with us; transformed lives, revitalized careers, improved family relationships, and renewed peace, enthusiasm and joy. This is one of the great rewards of my work.

The seed we planted by founding the school in 2002 is now coming to bear even more fruit! We invite you to enjoy our catalogue, come to meet us at one of our free orientations, or call the school to speak to myself or one of our graduates.

Dip your foot into the spring of Feng Shui, and I can ensure you a positive transformation in your own life and the lives of those around you.

Rich Blessings,

Manu Butterworth Founder and Director, Golden Gate School of Feng Shui

our mission

To teach dedicated, passionate individuals

the ancient principles of Feng Shui in a way

that empowers them to apply these principles to their

own environments and the environments of others.

The grounded, practical application of these principles will

create harmony, health, and well-being in the microcosms

of homes, offices, landscapes, and lives. These revitalized

microcosms will in turn effect the families, businesses,

communities and environments within and around them,

creating a ripple effect that expands outward into the

macrocosm of the world as a whole. To this end,

we directly nurture the entrepreneurship of our

students, assisting them to develop into full-fledged,

self-sustaining Feng Shui practitioners who make lasting

contributions within their communities, and

who are well-compensated for their contributions.

Through this whole-system approach, we at the Golden Gate

School of Feng Shui are dedicated to teaching students how

to integrate these ancient arts with a thorough understanding

of ecologically responsible models for our modern age.

that can be applied in any environment or life

situation. We teach the principles of Feng

Shui as a complete system designed to bring

is uniquely valuable and can be

Golden Gate School of Feng

Shui has presented a program

whose content changes and

expands to reflect the unique

needs of the time. We feel

it is essential to honor the

ancient traditions, based on

observations cultivated over

thousands of years, while at

the same time to intelligently

respond to the conditions and

challenges of the present day.

environmental awareness and sustainable design

We explore a range of tangible and subtle elements that determine

whether an environment is supportive or destructive to life-force or chi.

We observe the ebbs and flows of the natural order and acquire tools

with which to implement our understanding of these cycles into

the design of our living space.

As the natural world we live in is increasingly subjected to harmful

influences such as resource depletion, toxicity and EMFs

(electromagnetic fields), our lives and well-being are affected on

multiple levels. We teach you innovative strategies for creating natural,

supportive environments that are ecologically responsible.

This knowledge is an essential component of Feng Shui as it enables us

(and our clients) to achieve optimum health and vitality through the use

of sustainable building designs and materials. Topics include:

• Human Ecology: understanding the relationship of our society to nature and ways in which we can repair it

• Outdoor design: creating supportive microclimates and healthy habitats

• The principles of sustainable and regenerative design

• Natural remodeling

• Creating community at home: urban eco-villages

• EMFs (electromagnetic fields)

• Resource cycles: sun, air, water, earth, goods, food, waste

• Natural Building Materials

form schoolForm School is the most intuitive, integral and fundamental school

of Feng Shui. While the essence of Form School is to create a solid

foundation upon which the rest of the program is built, it also provides

an array of immediately applicable tools with which to achieve

your highest potential in your home, body, and the world at large.

• How to cultivate auspicious chi (energy/life-force) and eliminate harmful influences

• Principles and application of solar design

• Design strategies for homes and businesses

• Analysis of sites, buildings and

individual rooms

• Feng Shui uses in the retail trade, marketing, and commercial settings

• The effect of colors, shapes, logos, numbers, and artwork

• The principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine

• Food energetics and natural healing

• Five Element Theory

topography and land form Ancient geomancers understood the relationship between the land and

human destiny and in this way were able to influence currents of power

and prosperity for emperors and kings. Today this wisdom is applied to

enhance potential on a personal, institutional and community level.

You will be taught how to identify both the form and the spirit

of the land. Ultimately, you will come to understand that form

and spirit are intrinsically interconnected.

Dragon Veins - Learn to recognize the invisible energies that traverse

the land, locate ley lines, and determine auspicious sites. This will be

further illuminated through the practice of dowsing and deepened

awareness techniques.

Tradition - Learn the fundamentals of earth and water rituals, ground-

breaking ceremonies, space clearing, and other techniques that allow us

to work in tandem with the increasingly subtle, yet all-pervasive

energies of our earthly abode.

sensory nutrition/natural health A healthy relationship to our environment also includes our relationship

to our body. We teach you to integrate ancient and modern solutions

for creating well being, deepen our understanding of elements of our

environment and learn how to use these wisely to preserve our vitality.

This is strengthened by training in Chi exercises and Do In self massage.

• Introduction to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine

• Metaphysics, cosmology and astrology in health.

• Chronobiology: getting our natural rhythm back

• Light: how it affects our mind and body, and what kinds are best for us

Golden Gate Scho ol of Feng Shui Curriculum

Our journey begins with an in-depth exploration of the origins and history of Feng Shui, as well as an overview of the fundamental principles and schools of this ancient art. Through the study of Taoist philosophy we will

flying starFlying Star is a technique that traces cycles of energy through time

and weaves their ever-evolving influence into our analysis of space.

This technique offers a very specific understanding of areas of

fortune and misfortune within a dwelling based on its age

and directional orientation.

• Recognizing various cycles of time.

• How to construct a Flying Star chart

• How to interpret and apply the Flying Star chart to space

• Cures and techniques for enhancing various aspects of your life and resolving negative influences

compass schoolIn relation to Form School, Compass School is the more analytical

and scientific component of Feng Shui. Using the ancient map

of the Lo Pan Compass as a reference, we explore what is illuminated

when you combine the eight compass directions with the dynamics

of yin/yang

bagua . ba zhai . ming gua The “Bagua,” is the octagonal mandala consisting of the 8 compass

directions (cardinal and inter-cardinal). This map is a vital element

in the understanding and practice of advanced Feng Shui. We will

explore more complex techniques, including the analysis of the Lo Shu

(the “magic square” of Feng Shui) and how it informs the Ming Gua

and Ba Zhai methods. These enable us to identify auspicious

and inauspicious orientations for the individual and the dwelling.

• Constructing the Bagua and understanding its innumerable applications

• Ideal room location, door placement and orientation of furniture

• Integrating Ming Gua and Ba Zhai methods with Form School assessment

• How to read and utilize the Lo Pan compass

the lo pan compassThe Lo Pan compass is the indispensable tool of classical Feng Shui.

Its numerous rings contain a vast body of knowledge that encompass

classical Chinese philosophy, numerology and cosmology, and map

the underlying principles of our study. We are pleased to include in this

program one of the few English-language Lo Pan compasses in existence.

This incredible tool will not only simplify the learning process, it will

also make Feng Shui assessments much faster and easier.

• Translate the I Ching compass reading into the context of a space

• Locate the ‘xui’ - (the Feng Shui spot).

• Master advanced use of the Western Lopan

• Identify the directionology associated with your year of birth and integrate it into your design

cosmology and astrology While we explore the intricacies of energy as it relates to space,

it is also valuable to consider the individual as they relate

to the world around them.

Four Pillars - An ancient system based on Taoist metaphysics

and cosmology that reveals aspects of destiny, constitutional dynamics,

and beneficial elements of an individual based on the hour, day, month

and year of their birth. Through this sophisticated method, one can

gather information about a client that is relevant to their Feng Shui

assessment, as well as clearly reveal aspects of their character.

Perhaps the most compelling capacity of this ancient method is its ability

to accurately determine the element constitution of the subject.

Divination and Directionology - The roots of Chinese divinatory

practices are said to stretch back 6000 years, to 4000 B.C. Central to this

ancient tradition is the text known as the I Ching, also called the

“Book of Changes”. This symbolic system reveals the cosmology

that is the foundation of classical Feng Shui, Traditional Chinese

Medicine, the science of Directionology, and ancient Chinese culture

as a whole. Its philosophy focuses on the inevitability of change, the

evolution of events as a process, and the dynamic balance of opposites.

• Understanding, constructing, and analyzing various charts such as the Natal Four Pillars chart and the Ten Year Luck Cycles

• Determining auspicious and inauspicious timing for specific activities

• Determining the most beneficial colors for an individual

• How to deduce important information about health and family relationships

• Study and build a relationship with the I Ching

• Learn how to identify and utilize auspicious directions (Ming Gua)

• Nine Star Ki astrology to determine auspicious and inauspicious times for traveling or moving

what our students have to say

The modules, built upon one another, provide not only a thorough understanding of classical Feng Shui—but

nudged each one of us towards self-discovery and knowledge. The focus of my life has been transformed —thank you Golden Gate School for shining the light on what is imperative and right action for these times.

—Sandy Yagyu, 2006 Graduate

What an awakening! It enlightened me deeply, giving me far more that I could imagine. The first module showed me that from the microcosm of human life,

we learn the vast & profound realities of the macrocosm. I couldn’t have had a better guide for

exploring this integral & harmonious way through the natural principles of Feng Shui.

—Anyo Beaupere, 2003 Graduate

This program acquainted me with the underpinnings of energy and it’s structure, and I am beginning to

recognize nature as expressions of deep fractal patterns and number sequences. This program took the voodoo

out of Feng Shui and made it a kind of physics. —Lynne McAlister, January 2007

I found the presentation of materials to be organized, precise and eloquent. The blend of rational and

intuitive information pertaining to Feng Shui has provided a rich landscape and framework for

exploration and higher learning. — Holly Shantara- November 2006
