Testimonials from students
about their experiences in classes and workshops:

Many different classes and workshops are offered each month at The Place for Reiki and the schedule changes every three months. So please stop by often to see what's new.
The schedule listed here only covers the events that are scheduled three months in advance. I also offer a variety of 2-hour workshops, classes and meditation and healing circles during each month, including a Reiki exchange. However, these offerings are scheduled only about a week in advance. If you would like to receive notices about these events, please email me at the-place-for-reiki@earthlink.net and I will be glad to add you to my email list.

Following the current schedule of events are descriptions of my monthly meditation and healing circles, and a more detailed description of the Reiki Circle for Children with Special Needs that I host monthly. Also, please check out myindividual healing sessions, called Mind, Body and Soul Sessions. They provide a unique opportunity for healing in a one-on-one environment.

If you have any questions, or would like more information about anything that is offered, please give me a call at 412-920-2911 or send me an email at the-place-for-reiki@earthlink.net.  Please put Reiki on the subject line. I’ll be glad to help in any way that I can.  Hope to see you soon!

Peace and blessings,

Meditation and Healing Circles

The monthly meditation and healing circles are a great way to participate in your own healing process. You will participate in a guided meditation and then experience the power of a group healing circle to enhance your own spiritual journey and healing process.

The topic for each circle's guided meditation is different. Some of the topics in the past have included: Healing the Wounded Heart, Gratitude, The Gifts, Removing Blocks, Moving Forward and Peace. By actively participating in the meditations, you send a strong message to the Universe that you are actively involved in your own healing and growing process. This then allows the Universe (God) to kick in its support in an even more powerful way.

After the meditation, we take time to journal and process what's come up for participants during the meditation. You may share or not; do what feels most comfortable for you. However, there is often a synergy in the sharing process that enhances what you receive during the meditation.

Once everyone has had the opportunity to share, I do a group healing circle for everyone. Most Reiki practitioners only work one-on-one with clients, however, as my Reiki abilities have evolved, I have been gifted with the ability to do Reiki on a group of people simultaneously.

During the group healing sessions, participants sit in a circle as I stand in the middle of the circle, or walk around the outside of the circle, doing Reiki for everyone in the circle. There may be times, depending on individual needs, that I may work on specific individuals; but that choice is up to God, not me - as I am only the channel.

Once the circle begins, I leave it completely up to my Reiki guides and my spirit guides to determine what occurs in the circle. There have been times when loved ones, angels, and other spiritual beings have joined the circle because they have messages for one or more of the participants. . Sometimes I channel the energies of a number of different Native American spirits and may be guided to use a drum or a rattle; at other times I begin to channel the voices of these spirits, and my clients have recognized such languages as Cherokee, Lakota, and other dialects of the Plains Indians, as well as dialects from some of the South American cultures. Although neither my clients nor myself fully comprehend the meaning of the messages being channeled, everyone agrees that the intensity of the healing experience is increased whenever this occurs.

Each circle is different, and each person will receive what he or she most needs at the time they participate. The circles can be extremely powerful vehicles for personal growth and healing.
