Reiki Level 1: Two-day training Via Zoom or In Person—your choice!
About the event
Interested in joining in our Reiki Shares and outreach events, but not yet initiated into Reiki? After this class, you will be able to channel Reiki life force energy to enhance the body's own healing mechanisms and improve quality of life on physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual levels. This is an incredible, life-changing gift and the beginning of a whole new way of being in the world. This two-day course can be taken either in person, or remotely via Zoom. Regardless of your location, attendance both days is required for successful completion of the course. Day 1: Saturday, Aug. 8, 9a-3p. Day 2: Sunday, Aug. 9, 9a-3p. Attendees will learn the history, philosophy and protocols of working with Reiki, and be initiated\* into this incredible energy. Western *and Eastern* philosophies and techniques will be explored, so students have a broad base of information, and can choose what resonates best with them. Reiki is being incorporated into hospital treatment plans across the country as medical and non-medical personnel have come to recognize its ability to reduce stress and expedite healing. Additionally, thanks to modern technology, scientific data now corroborates mountains of anecdotal evidence. People will tell you you have a gift, and it's true—Reiki is a gift for everyone: Reiki is ideal for anyone: • Searching for more meaning in life • Dealing with anxiety or past trauma • On a spiritual path • Pursuing greater health and wellbeing **•** **Massage therapists (earn 6 CEs)\*\*** **• IL** **LCPCs and LCSWs (earn 10 CEUs)\*\*** • Compassionate towards their global community This first step is nothing short of a life-changing adventure.
