EcoChi – Designing the Human Experience with Author Debra Duneier

EcoChi is more than design, it is a revolution. It is a lifestyle shift that blends Classical Feng Shui, Green and Sustainable Living and Environmental Psychology… how people feel in their space. EcoChi teaches us that indoor space has a life…it breathes, it has bones, it contains and activates the 5 senses and at its best- the 6th sense. By bringing nature’s elements indoors in a whole new way, the EcoChi system attracts prosperity, harmony, health and happiness—while at the same time propagating environmental integrity.

Designing the Human Experience

Every space has a life of its own, and impacts us as we go about our lives. Our actions, energy and thoughts, as well as our physical well-being, are all profoundly influenced by our surroundings. The design, color scheme, textures, light, furnishings, accessories and placement of each item in our indoor environments impact our senses from moment to moment and shape how we feel about ourselves and others I created the EcoChi system which meticulously blends the powerful ancient and modern lessons of classical feng shui, green and sustainable living and environmental psychology to revolutionize how people feel when they are indoors. We spend about 99% of our time inside so it is easy to forget our connection to the outdoor world. Still, some of the happiest moments of our lives are spent outdoors. With EcoChi I bring nature’s elements into indoor spaces. The effects on the inhabitants are transformative and the added bonus is that it is also great for the planet.
