Community Drum Circle

Join us for an evening of fun as we create a unique community experience. Drum Circles are an excellent form of self-expression and social interaction, and a great way to refresh ourselves in body, mind, and spirit.

We will have a selection of drums and percussion toys available, or feel free to bring your own. Definitely bring your sense of playfulness and curiosity. No prior musical experience necessary.

Reiki Level I

What is Reiki?
Reiki (Ray-key) is a Japanese system of energy healing that is used on humans and animals in a variety of settings. Reiki translates into Universal Life Energy. This vital life force energy flows through all living things. 

The practitioner uses a technique of certain hand placements to channel this universal energy where it is needed. Our body naturally wants to heal itself and Reiki aids in this healing on different levels.  Physical, Mental, Emotional, or Spiritual depending on what is needed.  It is always for the higher good and will never cause harm because Reiki is positive energy.

Who can learn Reiki?
Reiki is an ancient healing art of touch therapy and is an excellent alternative complimentary relaxation/healing modality that anyone can learn.

This class is offered to anyone interested in healing and/or energy work.

What will I learn in this workshop?
In this workshop, we will review the history of Reiki, learn the basics of the energy body, self healing techniques, and how to administer a Reiki treatment.
