Individual Pursuits

Caroline Lehman – Writing

Caroline Lehman in Suzhou, China

As a Feng Shui consultant, Caroline wrote two books to assist her clients in balancing and energizing their environments.  Each workbook revolves around the many ways that the Chinese Five Elements of Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal provide practical approaches to everything from creating spaces that enrich our lives to offering advice on how to move without stress.

Ultimately, her work focuses on how we can love our life, love our home, and then share that love with others.

Caroline says, “The marvelous thing about Feng Shui’s intentional and restorative impact on our living spaces is that it takes us profoundly inward.  The deeper we journey into the heart and soul of who we truly are, the more natural it is to surround ourselves with what we love–with what supports us.  My writings revolve around the many practical ways the Chinese Five Elements illuminate both our inner personal realms and our outer material landscapes.  With the universal language of Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal, we can all discover our most authentic selves while creating honest, free, and clear environments that encourage us to thrive!”
