Reiki Level I Training (donation) – Usui Shoden Certification
Details
Join us for a one-day, in-person Reiki Level I Training where you’ll gain a strong foundation in both traditional Japanese and Western Reiki techniques. This training is designed to help you confidently give Reiki treatments to yourself and others, while deepening your understanding of Reiki’s origins, purpose, and practice.
All class content is based on materials from the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT) and the International House of Reiki. The teaching style blends practical instruction, demonstration, and hands-on practice, so you leave feeling empowered and prepared to use Reiki in your daily life.
You’ll learn time-tested Japanese techniques that help strengthen your Reiki flow and create a consistent self-practice—many of which have been missing from Western Reiki for over 50 years.
Usui placed much greater focus on healing the SELF, than is generally done in Western Reiki Level 1 Training. You will be taught self-healing meditations based on that used by Usui with his students – an extremely relaxing process. Level 2 Training (Held Sunday Aug 3, 2025) is geared towards working on others as welll space and home clearing.
