Foundations of Energy Healing, September 19 and September 20, 10am-3pm both days, held at Wild Beauty Cosmetics

There is a natural intelligence moving through all living things — a subtle life force that restores balance, regulates the nervous system, and supports the body’s innate capacity to heal.

Reiki is one way of learning to work with that living energy. Reiki is often translated as Universal Life Energy — the vitality that flows through and connects all life. Reiki is simple, intuitive, and calming. Many people experience it as a return to coherence — a settling of the body and mind into their natural rhythm.

This training falls at the Fall Equinox, the turning point of the Wheel of the Year when day and night stand in perfect balance. It’s a season of harvest and gratitude, a natural pause to take stock of what we’ve grown and gathered before the year begins its descent into the dark half. We’ll explore what it means to begin working with Reiki in this season of equilibrium — honoring both light and shadow, giving and receiving, as we step onto the path of energy healing.

In this hands-on Reiki 1 training, you will learn how to connect with this gentle healing energy and begin working with it for yourself and others.

During this training you will receive your Level 1 Reiki attunements, opening the energetic channels that allow Reiki to flow through your hands. Once received, this connection remains with you for life.

What we will explore:

• The history and lineage of Reiki

• The Reiki principles and philosophy of practice

• Foundations of energy awareness, grounding, and energetic boundaries

• Hand positions for treating yourself and others

• Self-treatment practices for daily regulation

• How to offer Reiki to friends, family, and community

• Ethics and care in energy work

• How the Fall Equinox’s balance of light and dark can inform a grounded, even-handed approach to giving and receiving energy

Throughout the training we will also weave in supportive practices that help deepen energetic awareness and presence, including:

• Sound and vibration to help the body settle into receptive states

• Attunement to the biofield and subtle energetic perception

• Grounding practices that help bring the work fully into the body

This training emphasizes hands-on practice: you will spend time both giving and receiving Reiki, learning to trust your own perception and cultivating a steady, embodied presence.

You will leave the training with:

• Your Reiki 1 attunements

• A clear understanding of how to practice Reiki

• A daily self-treatment practice

• Confidence offering Reiki to friends and family

• Tools to support grounding, energetic awareness, and coherence.

This training is appropriate for anyone who feels called to explore healing work, deepen their intuition, or cultivate a supportive practice for their own wellbeing. No previous experience is necessary.

Many people take Reiki 1 simply to support their own healing and nervous system regulation. Others go on to integrate Reiki into their professional work as therapists, bodyworkers, yoga teachers, educators, caregivers, or community healers.
