Episode 399: A Conversation with Anjie & Katherine

What does it really mean to become a feng shui teacher? In this episode, we’re joined once again by our dear friend Katherine Metz for a wide-ranging and heartfelt conversation about our experiences as feng shui teachers—and what it takes to move from learning the foundations to truly embodying the practice.

We also discuss the Pure Professor program, our offering for deeper study and mentorship designed for everyone from feng shui certification graduates to experienced practitioners who are ready to take their work to the next level.

We discuss the importance of long-term mentorship, meaningful teacher-student relationships, and ongoing access to senior guidance can be so transformative. Because becoming a great practitioner isn’t just about learning more—it’s about having the support, perspective, and guidance to turn knowledge into lived expertise.

We cover:

Katherine's role as an archivist of Professor Lin Yun’s teachings

The crucial nature of learning within a lineage

The importance of cultivated wisdom

The everlasting value of a mentor relationship

The joys of teaching feng shui

How experienced feng shui practitioners can continue to learn and grow
...and much more!
