Reiki Shoden (Level 1) is the introductory course into the traditional Japanese healing art of Reiki, focusing on self-healing and personal energy awareness.

What You Can Expect: Introduction to Reiki: Learn the history, principles, and philosophy of Reiki as developed by Mikao Usui. Energy Awareness: Discover how to sense and work with your own energy and the energy around you. Hands-On Healing Techniques: Learn the basic hand positions for treating yourself and others using Reiki energy. Reiju/Attunements: Receive traditional energetic initiations (Reiju) that open and align your energy channels for Reiki flow. Self-Care Practice: Begin a regular Reiki self-practice that supports emotional balance, relaxation, and overall well-being. Ethics and Intuition: Explore the importance of ethical practice and trusting your intuitive guidance. This course is a blend of guided instruction, meditative practice, group discussion, and hands-on experience. No prior experience is needed. What Comes Next: For those who wish to deepen their Reiki journey, Reiki Okuden (Level 2) is the next step and will be offered in the Spring. Okuden introduces the use of Reiki symbols and mantras, techniques for distant healing, and ways to work with Reiki at a deeper mental and emotional level. It is ideal for those who want to expand their practice for family, friends, or professional settings. Whether you’re seeking a tool for self-care, spiritual development, or to support others, Reiki Shoden Level 1 is a transformative and empowering beginning.

Transformational breathwork is a somatic practice that will guide you out of the mind and into the body. Through this simple, yet profound type of breathwork we will gain access to parts of our subconscious not available in our daily lives. This breathwork touches the spiritual, physical and mental realms and allows us to connect deeper to our hearts and emotions. During this popular 2-hour transformative session you will be guided through the breath journey using instruments, essential oils, music and movement. Throughout the journey you will receive grounding touch to help you ease into your breath. There will be time before and after the breathwork to check in and connect with the group. Wear comfortable clothing and bring an open mind to the possibilities of this beautiful and powerful modality. Learn more about Laura at www.malasmandalas.com.
