Thursday March 27 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.

Saturday March 29 at 7pm at Alchemist's Kitchen x Anima Mundi in Soho, NYC
The practice of mediumship uses the body, mind, and spirit as a conduit between us and the other side.
Frequently this practice is used to communicate with humans and ancestors who have transitioned, but from an animist perspective these are not the only spirits among us.This workshop will introduce mediumship techniques to connect and commune with the spirits of plants, trees, flowers, and the elements.
In this IN-PERSON workshop participants will learn how to establish protection, build energy, “blend,” and close the channel. Through a guided plant mediumship circle the group will practice together while being supported by Reiki, Tibetan bowls, chimes, and therapeutic sound. After the journey participants will be invited to journal, integrate, and share their experiences/messages in the group.Learning to connect directly with plants, energetically and intuitively, is a nourishing practice for herbalists, flower essence practitioners, and anyone who loves nature.
This workshop is hosted by Alchemist’s Kitchen at 117 Crosby St, New York, NY

4 Tuesdays from 7-8:30pm ET starting June 3
This VIRTUAL course will explore how intentionally navigating states of consciousness can deepen creativity. Eastern and Western perspectives on the liminal, qualities of brainwave states, and the bidirectional nature of creative expression and subconscious will be introduced through brief lectures. Techniques will be offered to safely induce liminal states that support the creative process.
Each week participants will be guided through layers of consciousness to prepare for creative expression, with practices informed by Ericksonian Hypnosis, Yoga Nidra, Tantric meditation, and deep relaxation.
This will be followed by an open art practice, supported by Reiki, allowing space to create and integrate. All levels of experience are welcome, and participants may work in any preferred medium.

Saturday May 17 from 11am-6pm at Soundwell Center in Marlboro, NY
Reiki Level 1 for Psychotherapists Training and Certification is on the road, with this mini-retreat in the beautiful Hudson Valley!
For those further north, and city-dwellers who want to be supported by nature, this IN-PERSON certification will offer a comprehensive foundation for Reiki Practice with added focus on its application in Psychotherapy Practice.
Reiki Level 1 prepares us to work with Reiki energy on the physical level, including bones, joints, tissues, organs, and the nervous system. Working directly with the somatic experience, we can offer nourishing support not only for “physical issues” such as pain, illness, and bodily manifestations of stress, but for the emotional themes that are connected to somatic expression.
Upon completion of Level 1 you will be able to practice with friends and family (and yourself!) and to begin incorporating the practices into your personal life. You can begin using supportive techniques in your work with clients. The first degree of Reiki creates the foundation for practice, opening the door to a new way of experiencing energy and how we move energy through the body.
