Shoden Reiki Class:

This is the foundation class for all experiences with Reiki, no matter how many levels you continue to learn. Shoden means first teachings or beginner teachings and introduces you to traditional Japanese Reiki meditation techniques and practice. Upon completion of this one day class, you will be able to practice Reiki on yourself, loved ones and friends. This class is taught from an authentic Reiki perspective dating back to the 1920’s and 30’s, the years of Reiki’s origins. It includes a Buddhist perspective. It also distinguishes between Western influence and New Age thought, as Laura is deeply spiritual and psychic and brings this awareness into her teaching.

Student Testimonials

Spiritual Catalyst

This class exceeded my expectations. It was creative, well structured, and interactive.
Laura has a way of presenting information that makes it so easy and fun to learn.
The way she teaches is just effortless and joy-filled. The attunement was gentle and powerful,
and the experience really speaks for itself. I really feel that this is not just a class, this is a spiritual catalyst that will change your life. -JW

Transformative

The amount of gratitude and joy that I have cannot be conveyed through words alone. I am definitely a different person today. The experience was transformative and beautiful. You put so much love, intent and energy into making sure that we all were able to come into our own. You held a space for us to become intimate with our own spirit and the ability to express that into the world with our attunement. Yesterday was special. I graduate with a master’s degree in a few short weeks, but this feels like a more sincere and bigger accomplishment. I have been looking for a spiritual teacher/guide, and could not thank the universe enough for letting me connect with you. Many blessings.

Additional FAQ :

In this first level Japanese Reiki course, there are no prerequisites prior to the start of the class. Folx have asked in the past if they need to wear certain colors of clothing, eat specific foods, or mentally prepare in a specific way. The answer is no. Come to this coursework as the best version of your full self, prepared and ready to learn!

  • Dress comfortably as this class consists of a mixture of lecture format and hands on practice on the Reiki tables. Wearing layers is recommended as temperatures fluctuate in the building as well as increased exposure to the Reiki.
  • You may bring a lunch (stored in your own lunchbox) or go out in the neighborhood. Within walking distance is an organic grocery store with a salad / sandwich / soup bar as well as several coffee shops and small lunch venues.
  • Bring a covered water bottle (to prevent spills). Cambridge Health Associates has a filtered water / tea station you may use throughout class.
  • Bring a note taking device and something to write with
