Reiki Level 1

Self-Practice & Everyday Care

This weekend training, traditionally called Shoden (a Japanese word meaning “beginning teachings”), is an introduction to Reiki. It is designed for those who wish to begin their journey of self-healing and learn how to share Reiki with family, friends, and loved ones.

Over two days, you will explore the history and foundations of Reiki, experience the power of energy flowing through your own hands, and discover practices to bring balance, calm, and clarity into everyday life.

  • Day One
    We begin by getting to know each other, grounding, and exploring the foundations and history of Reiki. You’ll receive your Reiju (attunement), begin working with Reiki through your own hands, and practice self-Reiki. We’ll have time throughout the day to pause, share, and integrate.

    Day Two
    We deepen the practice through meditation and self-Reiki before exploring the five Reiki principles, the three pillars of Reiki, and how to offer Reiki to others. You’ll practice with a partner and learn about ethics, boundaries, and bringing Reiki into everyday life.

    We close the weekend together with a final circle and your Reiki Level 1 certificate.

  • If you’ve never received Reiki before, I ask that you have at least one Reiki session before joining the training. This gives you a chance to experience the practice as a receiver before learning it for yourself.

    Early bird registrations include a complimentary in-person Reiki session with me before the training.

  • Learning Reiki doesn’t end when the weekend does.

    You’re invited to an optional follow-up group session to reconnect, practice, ask questions, and share how Reiki is unfolding in your everyday life. We’ll choose a date together on the second day of the training.

    Your training also includes an optional 1:1 follow-up session with me, giving you space for personal questions, guidance, and support with your practice. You can book this anytime within 2 months after the training.

Questions You Might Have

Register now

  • Not at all. Shoden means “beginning teachings,” and this training is designed for beginners.

    Anyone can learn Reiki. You don’t need to be naturally intuitive, sensitive to energy, or have any kind of “special gift.” You’ll be guided through everything step by step and given plenty of time to practice.

  • Experiencing Reiki for yourself gives you a felt sense of the practice before you begin learning it.

    If you register during the early bird period, a Reiki session with me is included.

  • Comfortable clothes, a notebook, and a water bottle. Everything else you need for the training will be provided.

  • Yes. We’ll have a one-hour lunch break each day, as well as shorter breaks throughout the training.

  • Yes. After completing the training, you’ll receive your Reiki Level 1 (Shoden) certificate in the Usui Shiki Ryoho lineage.

  • I keep the groups small, with a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 8 people, so everyone has space to practice, ask questions, and receive personal guidance.

  • Shoden focuses mainly on self-Reiki and sharing Reiki with family, friends, and loved ones.

    If you feel called to offer Reiki professionally, I recommend continuing with Reiki Level 2 (Okuden), where we go deeper into the practice and learn how to hold space for clients.

  • You’ll be invited to an optional group follow-up session, where we can reconnect, practice, share experiences, and answer any questions that have come up. We’ll choose the date together during the second day of training.

    Your training also includes an optional 1:1 follow-up session with me, which you can book within two months of completing the training. This gives you space for more personal questions and guidance as your Reiki practice develops.
