Over the past thirty years Bob has traveled to over 35 countries, with focused, multi-racial groups helping to heal and synchronize many of Gaia's sacred places with the current cosmic impulses that require increased harmony on all levels. Reactivating Mayan temples and helping to unclog Beijing's Temple of Heaven's energy network are examples of this type of service work.   

Bob has a BA in History from the College of William & Mary which led him to extensive esoteric training in many of the world's sacred traditions. Feng Shui has become the umbrella for blending this eclectic variety of training. He has been a carpenter for over thirty years during which he has designed, built and retrofitted many structures. Thus he has worked extensively with all sorts of construction materials and methods.
   Bob considers himself an educator and has spoken and written extensively on a variety of subjects to groups of all ages and persuasions. The first three  International Feng Shui Conferences in California have featured Bob as a guest speaker. He has taught two  years in England at Gina Lazenby's Feng Shui Network School and 5 sessions with Nancilee Wydra's Feng Shui Institute of America. Currently, he is finishing a book blending Eastern Feng Shui, western geomantic methods, the Findhorn methods of working with the Devas/elementals of your land/home and it is all stirred together with his common sense carpentry and design background.
   He lives with his wife of 21 years, astrologer, Celeste, and daughter, Crystal in their hand built octagonal "hobbit home" in rural Walpole, New Hampshire.

Too Much Metal Can Bring Rigidity into Your Life
In feng shui, everything is made up of the 5 elements or combinations. There is a healthy and destructive flow of these 5 elements. Water/fluidity thus nourishes wood/growth which certainly nourish fire/transformation. The ashes produce earth/stability which are the source of minerals for metal/condensation (rigidity) which is a face on which water can condense. Other combinations of flow are destructive; for example, water douses fire. I believe that wood/growth and metal/condensation things should be balanced in one's life. Beware of the disturbing trend in home/office construction of metal beginning to dominate! Metal roofs, studs, aluminum siding are examples. Any material that is made like metal in an act of hardening is mostly metal in feng shui. This would include vinyl siding, shingles, linoleum, etc. The more metal dominates in your life, the more rigidity of thinking and rigidity diseases like arthritis, rheumatism, etc. can dominate. Balance metal with wood overall but do it in the proper sequence of elements listed above. Strive to have all 5 equally represented. Till next month.
