About IFSA UK Chapter
The IFSA is a non-profit organisation that was founded in Singapore on the 8^th of May 2004 by a passionate community of Feng Shui masters, practitioners, academics, and other experts in Chinese metaphysics. Its aim is to assist the global cultivation, awareness and appreciation of traditional Chinese Feng Shui and to foster the highest standards of competence and practice within this industry.

The IFSA also aims to assist all classical Feng Shui Practitioners, by engaging in various events and educational activities designed to promote traditional Chinese Feng Shui. One of its aims is also to spread awareness that classical Feng Shui has specific formulae and systems that have worked for thousands of years, and don’t depend on intuition or newly made-up rules which may or may not work.

The benefits of being a member include:

1. Being a member of a chapter of a reliable international organisation headed by no less than 4 Feng Shui Grandmasters (GM Tan Khoon Yong, GM Vincent Koh, GM Raymond Lo, GM Dr Stephen Skinner).
2. IFSA across the world has many chapters.  The membership base of the IFSA encompasses much of the globe with chapters in Australia, Singapore, US, Japan, Poland, Mauritius, Romania, with many members in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Estonia, France, Greece, Mexico, Germany, Dubai, India, and Indonesia, making the IFSA a truly International Feng Shui organisation. From the 20^th of October of last year, we now have a chapter in the UK too.
3. IFSA-UK Chapter will have a regular calendar of events starting with an online gathering on the 4^th of February 2022, with introductions to all members, and three presentations on classical Feng Shui, one of which will be from me on the use of the winter solstice charts for predicting the following year and, arguably, the Nine Fate. This will be followed with a calendar of short speeches peppered through the year from masters across the world (via Zoom or face to face, depending on ease and feasibility), and an annual event.
4. Access to friendship and community, with other members with the same interests in Feng Shui, Ba Zi, Qi Men Dun Jia, Yi Jing, Xuan Gong Da Gua, etc.
5. Regular online catch ups/face to face meets (when Covid is no longer an issue) – where you will be able to share your experiences in classical Feng Shui, and learn from fellow members, as well as speakers from other chapters.
6. Availability of specialist classes (online and otherwise) designed to enhance your existing Feng Shui skills.
7. Access to an online Facebook closed group that allows you to ask questions (at whatever level) and to receive answers from acknowledged Masters.
8. Reduced rates at the annual International Feng Shui Convention in 2022 and, presumably, future years.  All being well, this Convention will be held on Zoom as well as by personal attendance, bearing in mind the current pandemic.

1. Discounted purchase of the first Luo Pan authored by GM Dr Stephen Skinner and Master Dr Jin Peh and accompanied by a manual giving full details of the method of use for every ring.
10. And for those practicing feng shui as a business:
    1. Membership cards, photograph and brief outline on the IFSA website.
    2. Certification when certain levels of competence are reached, which can then be displayed in your office, as a credential.
