A place for researching, applying and sharing classical East Asian knowledge in a scientific, coherent and accessible way — bringing together people interested in Feng Shui, Zi Wei Dou Shu, the I Ching, physiognomy and related systems.
SonChu Academy is a place for researching, applying and sharing classical East Asian knowledge in a scientific, coherent and accessible way. It brings together people who share an interest in Feng Shui, Zi Wei Dou Shu, the I Ching, physiognomy and related systems.
Our aim is to preserve what is most valuable while developing an approach that suits modern life — with truthfulness · goodness · giving from the heart as our core values.
“Learning in harmony, keeping the Way” is our guiding principle. We learn not only to take in knowledge but to keep principle, standards and a right way of living. On that basis the Academy keeps an open, inquiring mind, takes scholarly criticism seriously and keeps refining both its understanding and its methods.
To research, systematise and share the genuine value of classical East Asian learning through a clear approach with sound theory and practical use. Beyond passing on knowledge, the Academy works to turn it into something useful — helping people live in greater harmony, understand themselves better and choose more wisely.
We distil and preserve what is most valuable, and set aside the superstitions that no longer fit modern life.
We take the good as our compass and help nurture a kinder, wholesome way of living in the community.
We share knowledge openly, without limits of scale or depth, and we respect scholarly criticism.
SonChu Academy was founded and is led by a team devoted to classical East Asian learning, summed up in the motto “Learning in harmony, keeping the Way” — learning to keep the Way, to live well and to give.
