One day. Six seats. The other half of the practice.
led by Celeste Pichette · Conscious Choices
Most of the women in this room are fluent in taking care of everyone else. This is a full day of learning the other half of the practice — care that starts with your own two hands, on you first. After more than twenty years of practicing Reiki, Celeste is teaching her very first class, and we get to be in the room for it. Six seats. No performing. Come as you are.
A note from Amanda: I don't recommend things lightly, and I won't oversell this one. Reiki found me in a season when I was carrying more than anyone could see — and I mean it plainly when I say it saved my life. It taught me the difference between holding everything and being held. If something in you is nudging you toward this, it's worth a look.
"During our day together, you'll learn the history, philosophy, and the Reiki Precepts, explore the basics of energy and the chakra system, practice self-Reiki and treating others, receive your Reiki Level I attunements, experience Reiki meditation, and learn treatment guidelines and the Reiki Code of Ethics. Whether you're seeking personal healing, spiritual growth, or simply feel called to learn Reiki, this class will provide a solid foundation to begin your journey."
