No, but I will be teach Reiki 1 as necessary so you will have that option on a regular basis.

If you are attuned to Reiki 2, there will be invitations to share Reiki with the group on some of our calls.

YES! This space is like an online Reiki studio. Like a yoga studio for Reiki. We gather to practice. You learn what you need to know as you go. We will have opportunities for deeper study (liek workshops in a yoga studio), but this space is primarily for practice.

A calendar will be posted at the beginning of each month outlining each practice and which tier has access.

Doors will open 5 minutes before our session to catch up. The practice will begin promptly at 7:30 and doors will be closed at that time (so that I can be fully present to our practice). Each session will last 20-25 minutes.

Practices will consist of traditional Reiki meditations, chanting practices, silent meditations, and guided group Reiki meditations (like my previous Moon Circles).

This will be the schedule for September 2025. All times are Eastern.

All sessions are open to Kinship and Pilgrimage levels. Asterisk* indicates sessions open to the Gathering.

Monday 7:30am and *7:30pm

Tuesday 7:30am and 7:30pm

Wednesday 7:30am and *7:30pm

Thursday 7:30am and 7:30pm

Friday 7:30am

*Saturday 7:30am

Sunday 7:30pm

Recordings will be posted as soon as possible after each session. In most cases, it will be available within the hour, but I will probably be out in the world some times and may have not access to necessary technology. I am confident that I can post within 24 hours.

Each session will be recorded and will be available for until the end of the. next month. For example, all of September’s practice recordings will be available until the end October.

I get it. It can be hard to make time for recordings. I too have joined various online programs and have not followed through. The potential for self-disappointment is high, and who wants to take on that possibility?

So I put on my problem-solving hat (wait… do I need to actually knit myself one of those?!?) and thought about how I would coach someone through this concern. Here’s what I came up with.

1)    Check your expectations. This offering is like a yoga studio. There is no expectation to attend every offered session. If attending live is important to you, create three lists – baseline practice, hopeful practice, and ideal-for-you practice. Start at the beginning. Spend a month or so working up to your hopeful attendance, knowing that some weeks will be more difficult and some weeks will be easier. Experiment with morning and evening sessions. Find what works for you. See how it all shakes out once you start to build habits. These sessions are meant to support you, not stress you out.

2)    Practice Habit Stacking. Is your worry not following through with watching the recordings? Practice immediately after (or maybe before) something you already do on a regular basis. Take 20 minutes right out of the shower. Sit outside 20 minutes after you load the dishwasher. Practice in your car on your lunch break. Get in the habit of practicing after – or during - something you are already doing anyway.

3)    Remember - not all practices will require a seated meditation posture. You can practice some of the sessions while you are folding laundry, knitting, washing dishes, taking a walk. One of the most powerful chanting practices I have had was when the syllables were in sync with my knitting. If this is something that would be helpful, we can absolutely build more of this type of practices into our structure. We are householders, after all!

4)    Notice times you are distracted or acting in a mindless way. Plug your recorded practice in there. Do you spend the first 20 minutes after work on your phone? That may be a good spot for practice. Do you watch a youtube video to decompress before you go to bed (maybe that’s just me)? Practice with a video instead. Pay attention to times where you spend 20 minutes in a way that doesn’t feel aligned (on your phone, that second episode of Grey’s Anatomy, getting triggered on social media) and plug your practice in there. Confession: I gave up my daily NYT games for my morning practice. And I don’t really miss them. My practice fills me in a way that the Wordle didn’t. I still play Clues By Sam, though. That is my JAM.)

5)    Create accountability. In a perfect world, you will find an accountability partner inside the community to check in with, maybe even to practice virtually together outside of the session times. But I want to remind you that accountability doesn’t have to be for the same activity. So often, I tell my husband that I will do x when he does y. I’ll fold the laundry when he washes the dishes. I’ll take a shower when he goes to the store. I’ll write my notes when he is on a run. Pairing your intention with someone else’s action – even if it isn’t with them – gives them permission to ask you about it, to remind you about it, to trigger your “oh yeah! I wanted to do that!” thought.

Goodness, no. Set an intention for the week. And do your best to meet it. Attendance isn’t taken :)

As your practice is my practice, I hope this does not happen often. Only in times when I’m up a holler somewhere without cell service.

When that time comes, wee will explore options. I can create a “greatest hits” practice schedule of recordings. I can create a little zine for you to hold your own practices with. We can do pre-recorded individual Narrative Alchemy recorded meditations beforehand. We have options. You will not feel slighted, I promise.

Registration will be open from the 25th to the 1st of each month.
