This Reiki Level 1 Course is an initiation and an invitation into a potent journey of self-healing and energetic awareness. This journey will include a weekend intensive training, including an online class on the first day, followed by an in-person attunement and further education and practice on the second day. You will be held in a supportive energetic container during your 21 days of self-healing that follow, including weekly emails, and a private online group where you can ask questions and share your journey with your classmates. We will conclude with a Q&A / integration session + closing ceremony, and you will be provided with a Reiki Level 1 practitioner certificate upon completion!
*Due to COVID-19 safety, this training will be limited to 4 participants, and masks will be required at our in-person class*
Reiki is a universal life-force energy, which originated in Japan in the 1920's, and was introduced to the Western world by Hawayo Takata in Hawaii in the mid 1900’s. When used with care & intention, Reiki can have the profound ability to help heal people, animals, and situations on a mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical level. Reiki can also act as a trusted guide & ally in your daily life, creative practices, in conjunction with other healing modalities, and so much more!
In choosing to welcome Reiki into your life, you are committing to beginning the process of healing yourself in a deep way, so that you can live your truth, move towards your highest potential, and spread positive energy in the world around you.
