Convention Theme
Feng Shui as a Successful Career in Period 9
For 22 years, the International Feng Shui Convention has gathered the global profession — moving across the great cities of the East where our discipline took shape: Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai, Melbourne, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Okayama, Manila, Phnom Penh. With each edition, delegates from over 30 countries have come together to advance standards, exchange classical and contemporary insight, and shape the direction of Feng Shui as a respected modern profession.
For the first time in its history, the International Feng Shui Convention crosses into Europe.
IFSC Bucharest 2026 is more than a new chapter for our community — it is the recognition of Europe as a maturing centre of Feng Shui practice, and a meeting of two worlds. We gather in Romania in the year that marks 150 years since the birth of Constantin Brâncuși, the sculptor who taught the modern world that simplicity is complexity resolved. His Endless Column, rising between earth and sky, speaks the same truth Feng Shui has carried for centuries: that Heaven, Human, and Earth — Tian–Ren–Di — are one continuous axis, and that form is never separate from meaning.
Hosted under the auspices of the International Feng Shui Association — Romania Chapter, in coordination with the International Feng Shui Association, TTG Asia and Cristina Groza Feng Shui Academy, this convention brings the global Feng Shui community to a city where East has always met West, and where the European practice has come of age.
As we entered Period 9, a new energetic cycle unfolds — defined by transformation, visibility, and innovation. For Feng Shui practitioners, this marks a powerful moment to redefine the profession’s role in modern society.
At IFSC Bucharest 2026, grand masters, senior masters, masters, practitioners, and students from over 30 countries will gather to explore the future of Feng Shui as a meaningful and sustainable career in the years ahead.
The IFSC 2026 in Bucharest, Romania will explore:
✨ The emerging opportunities for Feng Shui practitioners in Period 9
✨ The challenges facing professional consultants in a rapidly changing world
✨ How Feng Shui practice can intersect with architecture, design, wellness, and modern living
✨ Professional pathways for building a sustainable and respected career in Feng Shui
Whether you are an experienced consultant, a dedicated student, or someone passionate about the future of Feng Shui practice, this convention offers a unique opportunity to learn, exchange ideas, and connect with the global Feng Shui community.
A unique opportunity to learn, connect, and shape the future of Feng Shui.
Join us in Bucharest, Romania, for an inspiring exchange of knowledge, culture, and global perspective.

The Way of a True Master: Responsibility, Character, and Legacy of the Professional Metaphysics Practitioner
Technical knowledge alone does not define an outstanding Feng Shui practitioner. While knowledge opens the door to the profession, it is wisdom, character, and integrity that sustain true mastery. In this presentation, Grand Master Tan Khoon Yong and Senior Master Goh Guan Leong of Way Fengshui Group will explore the timeless principles of ‘尊师重道’ that distinguish a practitioner from a respected master. Drawing upon decades of professional experience, they will share the philosophy of lifelong cultivation through respect for tradition, humility in learning, disciplined practice, ethical conduct, and a commitment to serving others with sincerity. As Chinese Metaphysics continues to evolve in the modern world, participants will discover how these enduring values remain the foundation of professional excellence, personal growth, and the responsible transmission of authentic Feng Shui knowledge to future generations. |

Knowledge, Training, and Professional Development in Feng Shui
Exploring how classical study, structured training, mentorship, and ongoing professional development form the foundation of long-term competence, credibility, and excellence in Feng Shui practice. This session examines what it truly means to mature as a practitioner — from first certification to recognized authority — and the disciplined path that connects them. It addresses the often-unspoken question of how a serious practitioner continues to learn after the formal education is complete. The session will also consider the tension between rapid commercialized training and the slow cultivation that the classical tradition has always demanded. |

Senior Master Yap Boh Chu |
AI and Feng Shui: Threat, Tool, or Both?
A necessary conversation for the profession in 2026. Artificial Intelligence has entered the field of Feng Shui — applications promise “instant readings,” chatbots respond to classical questions in seconds, and clients increasingly arrive with answers already generated by machines. How does the profession respond? This session opens the questions practitioners can no longer postpone: where does AI genuinely assist serious consulting work — chart calculations, case organization, report drafting, research — and where does it dilute the discipline beyond recognition? How do experienced practitioners maintain authority in a world where any student can query ChatGPT for a “second opinion”? What new responsibilities fall on Senior Masters as the gatekeepers of classical knowledge in an age of synthetic answers? And, more provocatively: is there a form of intelligence — pattern, intuition, accumulated lived experience — that no machine can replicate, and which becomes precisely the practitioner’s irreplaceable contribution? A session for the profession that wants to face the next twenty years with eyes open. |

Rags to Riches) 白手興家 From Student to Consultant to Authority: The Making of a Successful Feng Shui Practitioner and Entrepreneur
This session explores a question many graduates quietly ask: What happens after certification? How does one transform knowledge into a profession, and a profession into a thriving business? From securing the first paying clients and overcoming self-doubt to building credibility, commanding professional fees, and earning market recognition, examining the realities and challenges that shape the early years of practice. Beyond personal consulting success, the session investigates how leading practitioners transform their expertise into sustainable enterprises. Discover how consulting practices evolve into respected brands, academies, professional teams, and influential networks that continue to grow beyond the founder. Drawing from years of industry research, professional interactions, and real-life case studies, this presentation examines the journeys of well-known a 玄學家Metaphysician or 風水師 Feng Shui practitioner. What decisions set them apart? How did they navigate setbacks, competition, and opportunities? What enabled them to rise from ordinary consultants to respected authorities and successful entrepreneurs? Through practical insights and real-world experiences, attendees will gain a rare behind-the-scenes look at the habits, decisions, and strategies that transform knowledge into recognition, influence, and long-term success. A thought-provoking session for practitioners who have ever wondered: “What does it really take to become one of the names people remember?” |

Running a Feng Shui Practice in Period 9
Understanding how the technological, social, and cultural shifts of Period 9 are reshaping consulting practice and professional opportunity. This session examines the practical realities of running a consultancy in a cycle defined by visibility, transformation, and rapid change — and how to adapt without losing one’s centre. What changes when the world rewards visibility? How does a serious practitioner participate in the noise of social media without becoming the noise? What new opportunities does Period 9 open for those prepared to meet them, and what older patterns of practice are now closing? |

Determining Your Life Path from your Bazi Chart
Your Bazi chart is derived from your year, month, day, and time of birth, providing a unique blueprint of your strengths, talents, and potential life direction. Drawing on the methods presented in Lunar Bazi School Secrets, this presentation will demonstrate how to classify a chart as Follow, Dominant, Competitive, or Changing, and explain the significance of each category. Participants will learn how to identify the favourable and unfavourable elements within a chart and understand how these influences can shape personality, opportunities, and life choices. The relationship between the Five Elements and various professions will also be explored, offering insights into career suitability and personal fulfilment. To illustrate these principles in practice, the Bazi charts of well-known individuals will be analysed, revealing how their elemental structures and chart types have influenced their careers, achievements, and life paths. |

Feng Shui as a Strategic Advantage in the Built Environment
How classical Feng Shui principles can contribute to architecture, interior design, and spatial planning as a meaningful differentiator in modern development projects. This session bridges tradition and contemporary practice, showing how a discipline of three thousand years can shape buildings still to come. It explores how Feng Shui consultants can collaborate effectively with architects, developers, and urban planners — speaking their language while preserving the integrity of the classical method. The session presents Feng Shui not merely as an advisory practice, but as a formative influence in the design process, contributing meaningfully to the planning and creation of the modern built environment. |

Professional Feng Shui Consulting in the Digital Age
This practical session explores the professional workflows that underpin successful Feng Shui consulting practices, from structured case analysis and client management through to the preparation of clear, comprehensive, and professional reports.

Looking Beyond the Original Question: Enriching Client Consultations with Ba Zi Suan Ming
Clients typically seek a Feng Shui or Ba Zi Suan Ming consultation to address a specific question or concern. However, a Ba Zi Suan Ming analysis can reveal far more than the issue initially presented. It offers valuable insights into a client’s personality, life themes, strengths, challenges, and current circumstances, providing a deeper understanding of the individual behind the question. These insights enable practitioners to develop recommendations that are not only technically accurate but also tailored to the client’s character, needs, and stage of life. They also help identify situations that require greater care, sensitivity, and professional judgement throughout the consultation process. This presentation demonstrates how Ba Zi Suan Ming can enhance the quality of professional consultations, leading to more personalised, responsible, and effective outcomes for clients. |

From Brâncuși’s Endless Column to Feng Shui at the Edge of a New Frontier
The convention’s closing reflection. For millennia, Feng Shui has studied how built space affects the human being who inhabits it. As our world changes and the very idea of “habitat” begins to shift, one of humanity’s oldest disciplines of dwelling finds itself facing questions it has never had to ask before. This closing keynote returns to the vertical axis of Brâncuși’s Endless Column, a final image of continuity, ascension, and the unbroken thread between earth and sky that our discipline has always honored. It opens a conversation that may define the next twenty years of Feng Shui practice, without yet revealing where that thread will lead. |
