Scientific Feng Shui Pyramid Approach
Nancilee
Wydra Feng Shui Master - FSIA
takes a serious scientific approach to feng shui that incorporates knowledge from the myriad of social and physical sciences. A contented human experience begins with a strong foundation and builds upon that foundation one layer at a time…thus the pyramid is the shape of layering important aspects of life, each essential towards human self actualization adding to Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. We in Pyramid Feng Shui know that what surrounds us also influences us mightily in all areas of life.
FSIA
was founded by Nancilee Wydra, feng shui Master, in the early 90’s. Her vision of bringing an inclusive approach with scientific explanations and applications of feng shui recommendations to Westerners has helped expand the acceptance of feng shui tenets ten fold. Her vision to grow the Pyramid school of feng shui certification into a respected social science direction has become a reality. Our curriculum is solely focused certification and continuing education in the study of science of person/place– the science of how the physical environment influences how we act, react and interact has become reality.
In an effort to ensure the growth of our school’s legacy, Nancilee offered a career path for graduates. In 1999 she opened a faculty training division of the school that trained and developed graduates into teachers of the science. The school has trained numerous interested graduates of which many have gone on to become senior faculty members. In 2004, she offered the opportunity for interested faculty to become partners further insuring that the school would
Become inclusive and the multiple vision of more than one person.

2008 Vision OF ADDITIONAL SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE
The year 2008 represents a year of discovery for the school. At the 2007 Bi-annual conference, the first of many scientific papers were presented to the field on “The Science of Feng Shui.” Six practitioners spent the year researching and documenting scientific studies that back up why feng shui works. Subject matters from “room cell theory” to how our limbic system processes the language of our environment held the audience spellbound.
