Join the Virtual Reiki Retreat starting August 15

Reiki practitioners of all levels, styles, and lineages are cordially invited to participate in the Usui Virtual Reiki Retreat, organized by Mari Hall and hosted this year by Pamela Miles.

Unlike retreats in (and from) the real world, the virtual retreat doesn't require you to pack a suitcase or find someone to take care of your cat while you're away. You can participate from the comfort of your own home, and you can do it at your convenience, on your own schedule, beginning tomorrow, August 15.

Here's a special invitation to the retreat for Reiki Digest readers from Pamela Miles:

No matter what kind of Reiki event I am organizing, I always have two objectives in mind: reaching out beyond lineages and practice styles to strengthen our Reiki community, and supporting practitioners to deepen their relationship with Reiki in whatever way is comfortable for them.

So when Mari Hall asked me to facilitate this year’s Usui Virtual Retreat, my heart lept, and I immediately thought of the Reiki Digest readers. I am so honored to be at the helm of what promises to be a fulfilling and restorative adventure, and I personally invite each of you to join us.

Let's combine technology with our beloved practice to come together as the exquisitely diverse, global community that we are. Please click here to find out more about the Retreat, and use the link at the bottom of the Retreat page to share the invitation with your Reiki buddies.

Thanks, Pamela!

The retreat lasts 21 days and features a new meditation each week, plus a continuing discussion among participants.

Here's more about the retreat from Mari Hall:

The Usui 21-Day Retreat is simple and flexible. Reiki practitioners can participate in this Retreat fully or partially, as they are comfortable. It is not necessary to spend the entire 21-days in fast and meditation, nor is it necessary to do this for a full day. Some people find that 10 minutes a day is a way to connect with inner guidance and wisdom that works well for them.

Practitioners can join in the Retreat from their homes, offices, centers and can meet with their Reiki Circles to enjoy the Retreat.

The intent is to be able to be in quiet reflection, meditation, or prayer. Reiki is the focusing tool for this experience in which a way is cleared for balance and healing in our lives and in the lives of others. There is a special interest in distancing Reiki at this time. Some Retreat practitioners, who work for wellness of the planet, find this an excellent time for Reiki sessions for the highest good of all concerned.

How you decide to join with the Retreat, whether in solitude or not, I welcome you!

Thanks, Mari!

Since 1996, the Usui Virtual Retreats have taken place at solstice time, but beginning this year, the retreat is scheduled to begin on August 15, the anniversary of Reiki founder Mikao Usui's birth in 1865.

Hope to see you there!
