Course Description
Maharishi Vedic® architecture is an ancient system of design and construction that uses principles and elements based in nature’s own architecture. Also known as Maharishi Vastu® architecture (MVA), it has been restored and rigorously systematized according to the ancient Vedic texts by the well-known sage Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who began promoting wellness communities thirty years ago.
This course is an in-depth introduction to how Maharishi Vedic architecture creates healthy homes, workplaces, and communities by harnessing the power of nature. It consists of eleven video lessons, four bonus videos, and periodic live Q&A sessions with Jon Lipman, AIA.
For those who would like CEU credit for completion of this course, there are also multiple-choice quizzes at the end of each lesson.
