Design YOU-niversity

Design YOU-niversity classes

This is a year long program based on DeAnna Radaj's first book, Designing the Life of Your Dreams from the Outside In. In this course, she takes you through HOW to set goals & intentions to help you design/create the life that YOU dream of & the steps on how to implement the desired changes into your space/environment. Through Integrative Lifestyle Design principles, DeAnna takes you through the creation of a Vision Board & clutter-busting to explaining HOW your environment affects your health (mental, physical & emotional), relationships & goal achievement. Did you know that WHERE your stuff accumulates can show where you are blocked in your life? It does!

So...join us on this year journey to designing the life you dream of or pick a module or 2 (or 3...or 4!) to get started. Make time for you on the FIRST SATURDAY of the month from 9:30a-11a. Coffee & breakfast will be served.

Cost for the ENTIRE 12 modules: $249.00
Cost for SINGLE modules: $25.00

Learn to create & set goals to get you started 'designing the life of your dreams' through the creation of a Vision Board! We will discuss the 9 Life Areas to help decide what to focus on & how to activate & bring into your life through color, shape, element & symbol (i.e. money for wealth, business card for career).

March: Organizing Your Inner Pack Rat

Did you know that your stuff is a "physical manifestation' of your emotional baggage? What do your collections say about who you are currently and where you want to go in your life? In this very interactive workshop, we discuss the psychology of clutter, how to purge and what to do with all that “stuff”. What to do with out-dated clothes, paper clutter, toys...and how to distinguish between a "collection" and junk.

May: Feng Shui 101-Move Your Couch, Change Your Life

After this workshop you will have a basic understanding of the 9 Life Areas (Career, Knowledge, Family, Abundance, Success, Relationships, Creativity, Helpful People/Travel and Health) where they are in your space and how to activate them using color/shape/element/personal symbol & DeAnna’s Top 10 tips for your home/office.

September: Studying, Altars & Research...Oh My!-Knowledge/Spirituality Life Area

This timely class will look in depth at the Knowledge/Spirituality Life Area...so if you are or have a student in the family, you have to do research for work or want to connect more deeply with your religious/spiritual roots this is the class for you! We will discuss where this all important life area is & how to activate it (color, shape, element & personal symbols). We will also look at how to create a personal altar (a 3d vision board if you will), how they've been used in a historical context & the importance of each in everyday life. Then offer tips on how you can use what you’ve learned and figure out how to create your own altars-placement, color and accessories-that will maximize whatever Life Area you’d like to work on (activate) by what you’ve learned about Feng Shui!

November: Gratitude & Forgiveness-Focusing on the Family Life Area

As we get into the height of holiday celebrations & the innundation of Norman Rockwell pictures of family bliss, many of us start to feel guilt, shame or depression at the thought of family get-togethers due to their family "not measuring up" to what society states your family SHOULD be like or how you SHOULD be celebrating the holiday. In this workshop we will focus on the Family Life Area & how to create a harmonious space (living room, family room & dining room through color, space-planning, element & personal symbols (ex: what picture frame is perfect for family photos)

February: Designing the Bedroom of Your Dreams (relationship life area)

Are you not sleeping well at night? Want to bring the romance back? This new workshop can help you with this and more.

And proper accessorizing of this space is talked about at length to bring about the proper mood for sleeping and romance. Healthy home principles also play a big part in bedroom design to bring about a good night's sleep. Aromatherapy, feng shui and choosing the right fabrics, flooring and furnishings will also be touched on to give you the healthiest and "dreamy-ist" night's sleep you can achieve!
