Course Description

The comprehensive system of Maharishi Vastu® architecture ensures that your home or community will have only nourishing influences on its occupants.

This Vastu Green course is an ideal introduction to designing and building your Maharishi Vastu home. In four comprehensive lessons, you’ll be introduced to the key basic principles and how they will be applied. Then you’ll be ready to work with an architect or designer to create an ideal Vastu home that promotes a healthy lifestyle, wellbeing, family harmony, peace, and abundance.

PLEASE NOTE: This course gives many details about Maharishi Vastu architecture, but to design and build a Maharishi Vastu building, you or your architect need to consult with a trained Maharishi Vastu consultant.
