  • Thursday June 12 from 7-8:30pm at Anima Mundi in Brooklyn

    A perennial favorite, Rinse & Repeat, is back after a one year hiatus! This is one of my very favorite groups to facilitate, and I’m thrilled for this to be hosted in partnership with Anima Mundi.

    This IN-PERSON healing circle will use breath awareness, somatic inquiry, toning, and visualization to guide participants towards deep release.  Techniques for working with solar and lunar energy will be explored as a method for restoring balance to the subtle body, enhanced through the use of Reiki.

    Throughout the evening participants will be supported by the therapeutic vibrations of Tibetan bowls, chimes, rattles, ocean drum and shruti box. 


    Space is limited to ensure an intimate environment. 

    Participants are invited to bring:

    -A water bottle
    -Notebook and pen
    -A thick towel or blanket for added physical support 

    This event is hosted by Anima Mundi in Greenpoint Brooklyn, NY

  • Saturday June 21 from 11am-5pm ET

    Reiki Level 2 prepares us to work on the emotional, subconscious, and spiritual levels, bringing a profound depth to the healing potential of this modality.  But perhaps the most dramatic departure, and a particular interest over the last 4 years, is the ability to channel and transmit Reiki across Distance and Time.  

    For this reason we will be working virtually, allowing the ability to practice over distance and experience the power of distance work yourself.

    Our training will include:

    -Integration of the second degree Reiki Symbols

    -Deeper exploration of energy systems, including the chakras, layers of the energy body, and subconscious/unconscious energy flow

    -Offering a distance session, group sessions, and other remote possibilities (we will have paired practice sessions)

    -Alternate methods for transmitting reiki outside the use of the hands

    -Reiki across time, younger selves and future selves

    -Deepening methods for self-healing

    -A level 2 attunement, sealed for life

    other topics of interest, depending on time available

    This training is open to ALL who have previously taken Level 1 with any teacher.  Sliding scale codes are in the description, if you have taken Level 1 with me in the last year you can email me for an additional discount.

  • Thursday June 26 at 7:30pm ET

    This VIRTUAL monthly group will offer a therapeutic application of Reiki for relaxation, release, and community.

    At the start of the practice, participants will guided to systematically relax the body and mind. Therapeutic sound (such as Tibetan bowls and chimes) will be shared, while Reiki continues to be offered to the group. Reiki has many benefits including restorative effects on the nervous system, increased creativity, insights, emotional release, and calm. Reiki can also be beneficial to those who are grieving or contemplating existential matters, by inviting a deeper relationship to energy beyond the physical body. There will be time for sharing and questions following the group, or participants are welcome to free-write.

    The experiential component of each group will be recorded for those who cannot attend live and for those who wish to continue working with the practice. Sharing will not be recorded, for the privacy of participants.

  • Tuesdays at 7pm ET starting October 9

    Reiki is best known for its application to improve health, but it can also be used to assist us in “a good death.”

    Reiki is most often translated as universal energy, or life-force energy. It can be understood as that essential quality that makes something alive, the difference between animate and inanimate. 

    Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed, and this premise lays the foundation for Reiki as a venue to explore our relationship to death, whether we can still connect with those who have died, and supporting those at the threshold of this life and whatever lies beyond.

    This three-week course will offer participants the chance to experience Reiki directly and explore the intersections of spiritual, psychological, and scientific perspectives on what happens during and after death. Each class will include an overview of concepts and theory, followed by a guided exploration and Reiki practice. Participants will be invited to either lie down during the Reiki portion or use an expressive media of their choice (art, writing, or movement).

    I’m thrilled to be offering this course again with Morbid Anatomy this Fall, in the winter iteration it sold out twice! All sessions are recorded for those who may need to miss a session. If you missed it last time, I hope you’ll join me for a beautiful series exploring what lies beyond through the power of Reiki.
