People Reiki Class Descriptions

All Reiki Classes:

Foundations - In keeping with the traditional roots of Usui Reiki Ryōhō and the Let Animals Lead® method, none of our people or animal Reiki courses include chakra work, crystals, mediumship, or angel communication, although we acknowledge and respect these modalities within other energetic healing methods.​​

 

Attendance - As each session builds on the last, attendance at all class sessions is required for each course to receive your certificate. Please take a moment to review your schedule and ensure you’re able to join us for all dates before registering. Under special circumstances and based on your instructor's availability, you may be able to schedule a make up session (online) for a $75.00 fee.

Free Consultation - Before booking a class, please email charis to schedule a complimentary short call so we can connect and explore your Reiki journey and discuss whether this training feels aligned with your current path and goals.

At KLHA, we’re here to support you from the start of your journey.

Deposit & Cancellation Policy

As class sizes are intentionally kept small to enhance your learning and experience, a $75.00 non-refundable deposit is required for all reiki classes to hold your spot. Final payments are due one week prior to the first day of class. CANCELLATION POLICY: If your plans change, you may cancel your registration and request a refund (minus the deposit) up to one week before the course begins. After that time, refunds are not available for missed courses or individual class sessions. If the course is canceled by the instructor before the start date, you will receive a full refund, including your deposit. In the event of an unexpected emergency that requires a class session to be canceled, every effort will be made to reschedule. If rescheduling isn’t possible, a voucher for an online session may be offered as an alternative. Thank you for your understanding and for honoring the time, preparation, and care that go into creating this experience.

Shoden | Level 1

Feeling called to learn how to practice Reiki healing ,  begin a professional reiki practitioner path or perhaps just refresh your knowledge and your practice?

Shoden is the first step in your Reiki journey, whether you want to learn for your own knowledge and healing or to serve as a practitioner for others. Critical to the system of Reiki is the awareness that healing begins with self-discovery and a willingness to engage the practice to create wellness and balance within. For many of us on this spiritual path, our resources are vast when it comes to helping others, but we often neglect to nourish our own wellbeing. Shoden practices teach and guide us in recognizing that healing others begins with healing ourselves. Our time together in Shoden provides a safe and compassionate space to discover and nurture your inner light to help you shine for yourself and others. Highlights of what we will explore and practice: •What is Reiki? •What are the benefits of Reiki and how does it work? •The History of Reiki healing practices •The foundations of the Usui Reiki Ryoho system •Reiki and mindfulness meditations and techniques for healing the mind, body and spirit to relieve stress and promote a deep sense of wellbeing. •Sensing energy flow •Self-Reiki Techniques •An Introduction to Sharing Reiki with Others (chair & table practice) •Four Attunements •And more… Your Course Includes: *12 hours of training over five weeks. •Guided meditations and supplemental written materials. •Daily practice assignments and weekly homework. •Four Shoden spiritual blessings/initiations, called Reiju. •Six weeks of follow-up emails. •A manual/workbook and supplemental materials. •A certificate of completion and prerequisite for Okuden (Level 2). Learning Shoden in this extended 5-week format is a rich and rewarding experience that allows for deep integration of the concepts and practices, but it is a commitment of time and energy. To receive your certificate, you must attend all class sessions, complete the homework and commit to a daily self-practice routine of at least 15 minutes for the duration of the class. If you are unable to attend a session due to illness or another serious life event, we will do our best to help you make up the missed class online before the course ends for an additional $75 fee, depending on the instructor’s availability.

  • Curiosity and a desire to learn, explore, and have fun

Okuden | Level 2

Feeling ready to continue your Reiki journey—deepening your understanding and expanding your practice for yourself and for others?

Reiki Level II (Okuden) is more than just the next step in training; it is a deepening of connection—to Reiki energy, to your own inner light, and to the world around you. This course builds upon the foundations of Reiki I, introducing new tools, practices, and insights that help you embody your inner light as a source of healing. In Level II, we explore three foundational Reiki symbols and mantras, learning how to apply them in both hands-on sessions and practicing techniques for distant (non-local) healing, which allow Reiki’s gentle power to reach beyond physical boundaries and time constraints. Through these practices, you’ll discover that Reiki energy transcends time and space, bringing comfort and balance to people, animals, and even the Earth itself. Throughout our time together, we’ll explore and practice: •Expanding our work with the Reiki Precepts and traditional Japanese meditations •Deepening sensitivity to energy flow through Byosen scanning •Introduction and practice with the three Reiki II symbols and mantras •Learning and offering remote (distance) healing •Additional traditional healing techniques •Extended hands-on practice time •Ethical considerations in sharing Reiki with others •Reiju (spiritual empowerments) and three Level II attunements •And more! Your Course Includes: •12 hours of training over five weeks. •Six weeks of follow-up emails. •A manual/workbook and supplemental materials. •A certificate of completion and prerequisite for Shinpiden (Level 3). Although learning Okuden in this extended format is a rich and rewarding experience, it is a commitment of time, energy and willingness to engage in the daily practices as well as the weekly sessions. To receive your Okuden certificate you must attend all the sessions and complete the weekly homework. *Please review the deposit and cancellation policy at the top of this page

Prequisites:

  • Completion of Usui Reiki Ryōhō Level I at least six months prior to Level II training, or permission of instructor.

  • A complimentary short call with Charis so we can connect and explore your Reiki journey and discuss whether this training feels aligned with your current path and goals.

Shinpden | Level 3

Are you a seasoned Reiki practitioner? Are you  feeling called to deepen your spiritual journey through the inner workings of the Usui Reiki Ryōhō system?

Reiki III Shinpiden is often translated as “The Mystery Teachings,” yet the real mystery that unfolds is a deeper awareness of yourself, your connection to the Universe, and the lightworker you are—and have always been. I facilitate this course as both a guide and a fellow traveler, honoring the understanding that within the Usui system there are no true “masters.” Reiki is not a path to mastery, but a road toward awakening and enlightenment. Together, following in the footprints of my esteemed teachers and mentors, we’ll gently weave and integrate the wisdom of our own timeless journeys—and the journeys of others—on this lifelong path we call Reiki healing. Upon successful completion of the course, you will be certified to teach all levels of the Usui Reiki Ryōhō system, and the extended 8-week format and supportive framework create a greater opportunity to do so with confidence. Each week builds on the last while also revisiting the previous levels through the lens of enhanced awareness and insight. The supportive, encouraging, and gradual pacing of the extended format gives you space to cultivate the skills and wisdom you need to deepen your practice—for your own wellbeing and for the benefit of others. Embarking on Shinpiden is often described as a calling, and it is not a requirement to be a successful Reiki practitioner. From this understanding, I approach my role as facilitator with the belief that we are called to each other to continue the journey. If you feel this resonance in your heart, you are warmly invited to step into this next chapter of your Reiki path with me. Highlights of the Course: •Review, strengthen, and expand upon the foundations established in your Reiki Levels I & II training •Integrate meditation, mantras, and chanting to enhance your connection with Reiki energy. •Explore the timeless essence of Usui Sensei’s system as both a traditional and living practice, framed through cultural awareness and foundational Buddhist teachings. •Learn the fourth Reiki symbol—the embodiment of all other symbols and the spiritual core of the system. •Receive the fourth attunement and learn how to perform attunements (Reiju, or spiritual blessings) for all levels. •Develop healthy energetic and ethical boundaries to sustain your practice and protect your vitality. •Gain tools, tips, and guidance to confidently lead Reiki shares and teach courses across all levels of the Usui Reiki Ryōhō system. •Receive mentorship on creating, nurturing, and sustaining your own Reiki practice. •Gain digital access to Reiki I, II, and III manuals for continued study and reference. •…and more, as the journey unfolds through practice and personal discovery. _______________________________ Although learning Shinpiden in this extended 10-week format (25 hrs of class time) is a rich and rewarding experience, it is a commitment of time, energy and willingness to engage in the daily practices as well as the weekly sessions. To earn your Shinpiden certificate you must attend all the sessions and complete the weekly homework. * Please see cancellation policy at top of page
