Karen Carrasco at the Gathering Together

Karen Carrasco: Green Design & the Five Elements – A Match Made in Heaven
Karen Carrasco is a Western School of Feng Shui™ graduate, practitioner, and teacher. She brings to Feng Shui a lifetime of experience creating ecological homes, native plant gardens, organic farms and sustainable community among different cultures and lifestyles. Her passion is linking hearth and heart to Nature. Karen will share a model lecture that you can use to inspire your own communities with the green side of Feng Shui. If you survived the ecology-minded 70’s, or just read about them, ‘Back to Nature’ may still conjure images of unbleached, unscented dinginess, “stone-ground” tastelessness, stoic recycling duty and obligatory self-sacrifice. Certainly, even without the stereotypes, ‘going green’ could be seen as ‘going without’ many of the pleasures and conveniences of the modern world. In actuality, developing a more organic and sustainable lifestyle is moving to a deeper level of harmony. It is a refining and distilling process that produces greater clarity, profound serenity and sublime sensuality. It aligns us with our True Selves, as well as the loving embrace of Nature’s sustaining support and the generosity of Cosmic synchronicities.
