Letter from the Editor

T

his must surely be a Russian issue! We have just come back from ten days of surreal hospitality in a country filled with the most beautiful and warm people, buildings and architecture that left us in awe, and a history and heritage that stamped an indelibly lasting impression. Our wonderful hosts Snezhana Tikhonova and Tatjana Birukhova invited Lillian Too to bring her feng shui event to Russia. Co-hosting us was the lovely Oxana Girko. The event, held over two days at the Hotel Baltschug Kempinski Moscow, was a resounding success! The Russians are so friendly, so warm and so enthusiastic! Many were already well-versed in feng shui having read many of Lillian’s books that have been translated into Russian, and were eager to learn more. While many in attendance spoke English, there was also simultaneous Russian translation available for those who preferred to listen in their own language. The first day covered Landscape and Compass Feng Shui, while the second day focused on Spiritual Feng Shui. Those who missed this event can access it online (with optional Russian translation) via the Lillian Too Mandala website (visit www.wofs.com for more).

in exquisite art, architecture, music, culture and sheer beauty. The country is incredibly photogenic – strike a pose and every click looks like something straight out of a magazine.

Before heading to Moscow for the event, we could not resist taking the opportunity to visit the fabulous museums, palaces and fountains of St. Petersburg, an hour’s flight or a 4-hour high-speed train ride from Moscow. When you visit Russia, you return incredibly inspired because this is a land so rich

We brought the kids as well, as they were on their summer vacation. For 8-year-old Joshy, while the sightseeing tired him out, he was fascinated by stories of Peter the Great and Catherine the Great, while Jack, whose great love is the piano, paid homage to the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, one
