FSIM Newsletter Detail

 

Ralph Dehner, is a physiognomist, taken from the dictionary: one who studies, or is an expert in, physiognomy; one who studies the outer appearance of a person's face to acquire knowledge of the inner personality. He gave us an overview of how face reading came to be and his personal experience learning this ancient art. Starting from the brow, to the eyebrows, eyes, nose, ears, mouth, chin, and cheeks to the devotional lines and face quadrants we all have, it was intriguing! Ralph made it easy to understand and fun, including in his presentation photographs of celebrities (Hugh Grant, Julia Roberts, Whitney Houston) to give us visual examples, as well as his personal stories of people he has met along his journey. Some of the participants were used as models as well! 

 

By analyzing a face, we learned how you could determine what features are desirable on the face of an employee who would be good at teamwork or which one would be best suited to work in a cubicle on their own.

 

Eyes and eyelids can show your emotional traits while noses can reveal your creative or intuitive side among other things. Your ears, obviously pertain to your listening skills but also your outlook on life. 

Did you know that the right side of your face shows your professional YOU? And the left side your private YOU?

Widows peaks, shaved eyebrows, round nostrils, large earlobes, full lips, philtrums, mustaches, beards, bug eyes; we went through all of it, recognizing our mother, spouse, child, family member who had these features and nodding our heads in amazement at how accurate the information was with regards to each of them. 

Thank you Ralph for an enlightening, eye opening workshop, the two hours just flew by!
