Reiki Level I is for many people an exciting and wonderful beginning, for others, this course will be an opportunity to explore Reiki further, maybe from a different perspective or gathered with others in a new space and time;

Or maybe Reiki training acknowledges something about energy you’ve had a feeling about all along, and you have questions or an intuition you’d like to explore. It might be where your journey begins, or a way for it to continue.

This is a course for beginners, and those who know the value of a beginners’ mind.

I teach the traditional, foundational system of Usui Reiki Ryōhō… and I'll weave in a little bit of herbalism, as is my way.
Reiki teachings, tools and techniques, complemented with herbal remedy making to support practices for self discovery, self healing and connection with life enery.

• Notice energy in everyday life,

• Become aware of what affects your life energy’s vibration, and

• Learn techniques for protecting and raising your personal energy with hands-on self-healing.

This first level is called ‘Shoden’ which means ‘first teachings’, and we will learn about the foundational practices and elements of the System of Usui Reiki. In this practical beginner course, you will learn how Usui Reiki offers self-healing practices and a way of life which uplifts and protects your personal energy.

Whether you're looking for a way to relax, manage stress, protect your personal energy, or connect more deeply with yourself and others, Reiki offers a path to holistic well-being.​ It is simple and accessible to practice, anyone can do it.

During the course, you will learn:

• The structure of the Usui Reiki System;

• What Reiki is and how to use it in daily life;

• How to practice Reiki hands-on self healing, and how to share Reiki with others;

• How to connect with the life energy in plants, animals and nature; 

• Recipes for four herbal remedies which are supportive to foundational Reiki practices;

• Receive Reiki attunement;

• ​Receive a comprehensive manual;

• Shoden certificate - remembering that Reiki is not about certification – it is about your own personal practice. In traditional Japanese teachings a certificate is given to indicate that certain levels have been reached, and that the student/participant is just beginning that actual level.

• Access to an online Reiki Resources section of this website, to support your own practice beyond the training day.

• 30 day free membership to the Substack community, an ongoing invitation and inspiration to practice.

• Your Reiki journey continues beyond the training day and as part of your ongoing support, you’ll have access to:

  • Reiki meditations and tutorials;

  • Opportunity to attend a monthy Reiki share group;

  • Continued email support.

You can come if you’ve never experienced Reiki before - this Reiki Level I course is designed for complete beginners.

You will be learning in a small group of up to 6 people with me, Liz Thomas. I am an Usui Reiki III (Shinpiden) Master Teacher, and I’m fully insured to teach and practice Reiki.
