Upcoming Events:
This monthly in-person community practice night is co-held with Burd Fertig-Burd of the Celebration Tree Farm and Wellness Center in Durham, Maine.
​
Join us for a night of community, connection, and practice of Traditional Japanese Reiki through meditation and shared resonance. This night is open to Reiki practitioners of all lineages, as well as people who have never been trained in Reiki. (“Reiki” translates to Spirit Energy - the force that animates us all, which we all have access to.) Come to cultivate and share the resonance of universal energy through a series of traditional practices with like-hearted seekers.
​
Together we will move through the practices of:
-
Hatsurei-Ho (traditional Reiki meditation for cultivating life force energy)
-
hands-on healing for those who wish
-
all-levels “distance healing” for the collective
-
and Reiju (spiritual blessing)
​
Whether these practices are familiar homes to you or brand new, we enthusiastically welcome you to join us and deepen your relationship with the roots of Reiki, with each other, and with yourself.
There will be an optional potluck at the beginning so bring food to share.
