Japanese Reiki (Shoden) & Animal Reiki 1
with Kat Forgacs
Durham, CT
September 7-8, plus practice day with rescue animals
*Reiki 1 training also available
(Daily hours listed below)

In this immersive course, we cover the essential foundations of traditional Japanese Reiki for mental-physical-spiritual wellbeing, and the practice of "offering" Reiki (often without touch) to all species of animals and their human companions, safely and respectfully.

This course is especially designed for Reiki practitioners who want to add traditional Japanese Reiki and Animal Reiki techniques to their personal, professional, &or volunteer Reiki practice.

Those without prior Reiki training, or who would like additional review and practice, can arrange to attend an Introduction to Reiki 1 training (in-person or online) before the Animal Reiki course.

The training offers special appreciation rates for animal rescuers, veterans, first responders, and resitting students.

Please be in touch if you have any questions related to your circumstances.
