It was a powerful day. It was wonderful to experience what dying might be like. It led me to being not afraid of dying. Also the number and variety of experiential exercises was great! It was also good to discuss the comfort of Reiki as opposed to the healing of it alone.
- N.W.
Great presentation. Clear and informative. Exercises were helpful. The integration of wisdom in the room and the group sharing were also very helpful. I loved the spontaneity of the work, knowing that your intuition guides you and your patient in the moment. I now feel more confident in adding Reiki to my hospice volunteer work.
