What are the best locations for this delicate discussion? How should I approach the subject for the least amount of shock value possible?

Wiccan Feng Shui
Based upon ancient knowledge of the rhythms of the earth and the Bagua (or great circle of life), this comprehensive workshop teaches the attendee how to map out Bagua areas in the home and organize each room to harmonize with natural forces in order to promote health, prosperity, productivity, and well-being.
Ideas are provided for rituals, altars, and enhancements to promote Chi, or flow of energy, within every room and throughout the house. From painting a wall to dusting a houseplant, from situating a home office to consecrating a Wealth and Prosperity area, here are easy methods of improving life through design, decoration, and placement.
Class includes handouts and attendees are encouraged to share their own ideas and Feng Shui challenges with the group. There is no limit to the class size. Attendees should bring pencil, paper, and, if possible, a floor plan (oriented to the north) of their home or workplace.

Creating Personal Rituals
We all have rituals in our lives; some religious, some not. Most religious rituals follow a set pattern making them easy to modify; changing a few words in a wedding ceremony, for instance. In this workshop attendees will discover they don’t have to wait for major milestones to show appreciation for the joy of living. Alexandria teaches a class that shows there is reason to celebrate with down-to-earth rituals that bring more meaning into everyday life.
Presented in a personal and interactive way, Alexandria takes you step by step through the process of creating rituals that celebrate home, health, work, friends, children, and school. At a time when everyone is looking to find deeper meaning in life, these small ceremonies will help you appreciate the beauty in small events like the first snowfall, a new friendship, a new lover, a child’s first tooth, a new job, a pregnancy, or the return to school.
Class includes handouts and attendees are encouraged to share their own ideas with the group. Due to the personal nature of the work, class size is limited to twenty. Attendees should bring pencil, paper, and an idea of a special event that they want a ritual created for.
