The Mien Shiang Institute
Patrician McCarthy
, founder
We chose Red Mountain Resort in St. George, Utah, to teach our four-part Practitioner Training so
that our students may have an enclosed, intensive, immersion experience with their instructor Patrician McCarthy, president and founder of The Mien Shiang Institute, and with each other, as they learn the ancient art and science of Mien Shiang.
We value the extraordinary benefits that this exceptional opportunity to study at Red Mountain Resort offers us: learning in beauty, deluxe rooms, three delicious healthy meals a day, enjoying invigorating hikes, meditative walks, well-being, fitness and personal discovery activities, deluxe rooms, and more *- all included in the course fee.
Practitioner Training Part I : November 1, 2, & 3, 2012; Thurs, Fri & Sat
Reading the Face & The Five Element Personalities Features, Shapes, Colors, Markings; Personality Traits, Characteristics, and Behaviors 
Practitioner Training Part I is an intensive immersion course that lays the foundations for the study of both Face Reading and Facial Diagnosis. This is a comprehensive introduction to Mien Shiang and the Five Element personality characteristics and traits that are revealed on the face.
This is a thorough course designed for one’s personal use, for practitioners and teachers of both Mien Shiang and the Taoist Five Elements, and all health-care and wellness practitioners.
