For this Reiki retreat, you will be provided with three nights of accommodation at Heartwood Retreat Center. It is a seven-acre retreat site, built on a crystal grid. It features a chakra meditation garden, shamanic medicine wheel, labyrinth, and more in order to enhance the learning experience.
You will stay in the main house but have a private entrance and private bathroom. You will also be welcome to use the yoga center lobby to relax, read, or just hang out. The yoga kitchen is open 24/7 for hot tea, coffee, or snacks. Yogurt, cereals, fruit, and bagels will be available for a self-serve breakfast.
You are invited to enjoy the grounds to walk the labyrinth and visit the garden, medicine wheel, or wishing tree as the spirit moves you. You can also take a book from the yoga library. Heartwood is a quiet and restful place and is designed to refresh the spirit.
The accommodations are for adults only, and those visiting to participate in the yoga-oriented programs or classes. You are also invited to enjoy the yoga center but may not disturb classes in progress.
With total access to yoga centers and grounds, you can always find privacy, yet enjoy affordable overnight accommodations. The dorm housing provides a room with four beds (full size with memory foam mattress plus one twin), with a private bath and entrance.
Private accommodations are available off-site, so you would need transportation.
Program
Reiki is a technique for stress reduction and relaxation that allows everyone to tap into an unlimited supply of 'life force energy' to improve health and enjoy a good quality of life. An amazingly simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense, but it is transferred to the student by a Reiki master.
Its use is not dependent on one's intellectual capacity or spiritual awareness or belief and, therefore, is available to everyone. It has been successfully transferred to millions of people of all ages and cultural backgrounds.
A Reiki treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through you and surrounds you. It treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind, and soul, and creates many beneficial effects including relaxation and feelings of peace, security, and well-being. Many have reported miraculous results.
Reiki is a simple, natural, and safe method of spiritual knowing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It is a system of energy healing that explores how to use five major elements:
- Spiritual and mental connection using the five precepts (a simple translation would be: do not anger, do not worry, be humble, be honest in your work, and be compassionate to yourself and others)
- Hands-on healing for the self and others
- Techniques for the transference and channeling of energy
- Mantras and symbols
- Attunements
Each of these elements works together with the others to create a whole system for spiritual development and healing that is unique and powerful.
There are four levels of Reiki training and this program offers you a comprehensive understanding of the theory and practice of Reiki, going from the introductory level to becoming a Reiki master.
Each day will build onto the next to develop your awareness and embrace the many ways of practical application to bring Reiki into your life and the lives of others. Learn to attune others, teach, and give Reiki treatments.
While many people have had some previous Reiki, the formal approach to teaching this expansive subject makes revisiting the early levels important to ensure that you will leave feeling confident and empowered.
Reiki level one
This foundation course covers the history and core concepts of Reiki and energy healing. The focus of the program is "self-healing" with exercises and practices to promote personal wellness and connection.
This program includes the Reiki bear service project, Reiki on plants and animals, self-Reiki, and an introduction to the symbols. Lecture, an attunement, exercises, and formal practice will begin your Reiki journey.
This is the foundation program that explains what Reiki is and how it can be applied to enhance and support personal health. The session will begin with an introduction to the energetic body and the healing potential of Reiki. You will look at the role of intention and purpose in thoughts and karmic disposition. Next, you will explore the history of Reiki and its founders.
You will also learn the five precepts of Reiki and traditional Reiki meditation. A series of energy exercises will help you to feel and understand energy better.
Students will be attuned to level one Reiki. After the attunement, you will progress through a series of Reiki exercises to practice, beginning with the Reiki bear project (injecting teddy bears with Reiki healing and light.
The bears will later be donated to children's hospitals and disadvantaged youth programs as a karmic project, reminding participants of their role as healers and symbolizing how they must all share their light where it is needed).
You will move up to energy exchanges with plants and discuss Reiki for animals, and then you will progress to self-healing practices, touching lightly upon traditional Reiki share activity. The program also covers Usui Reiki systems, reviewing both defined hand positions and the intuitive method.

Reiki level two
Reiki level two (practitioner) training will carry the foundation course (level one) on to learn about sharing Reiki with others. This level will prepare students to do Reiki treatments on people, places, animals, and situations.
The course will also cover distance Reiki, how to send Reiki through time and space, and will review many techniques for sending Reiki to those who are not physically accessible. Reiki 2 will also cover crystal healing and dowsing with pendulums, the laying on of crystals to enhance Reiki energy, and chakra clearing.
Students will select a pendulum to keep and will practice with it in the course, and they will also be given other items to take home to serve as totems or aids to a full Reiki practice. They will work on others in groups and individually after receiving a level two attunement and learning the symbols attached to this level. They will leave prepared to work as a Reiki practitioner.
- Distance healing
- Reiki across time and space
- Using symbols and mantras to heal
- Pendulum dowsing and transcendental dowsing
- The science of energy and physics
- Laying on of crystals and energy healing
- Second-degree symbols
- Attunement
Reiki level three A and B
Level three A and B will refine Reiki techniques and study new healing modalities, then focus on how to teach Reiki to others and attune students to all levels of Reiki. After completing 3B training, a student will be considered a Reiki master, fully prepared to build a Reiki community of their own and to pass on the wisdom through classes that they will sponsor themselves.
Sound and vibrational healing, as well as crystal grids, will be reviewed at this level, and students will be invited to work with crystals and tuning forks to experiment with chakra clearing and aura smoothing along with their Reiki practice.
In this portion of the course, you will do a review of Reiki basics and techniques and the principles and symbols. You will then be introduced to three more symbols and receive the Reiki master attunement.
A series of exercises will offer many life situations where Reiki can be applied, to refine your skill set and expand your awareness of choices wherein Reiki can be of service to others.
Students in this level will receive a silk scarf as their Reiki attunement totem, and they will also participate in a Reiki craft project to create Reiki stones that they will take home to serve as meditation inspiration, as well as a tool to learn the correct symbols for attunements and other Reiki practice.

- Advanced physiology of energy
- Reading auras
- New concepts in the healing of others

Reiki master program
Take the full Reiki master program in an immersion format and study all four levels in this training. The first portion of the training will be devoted to refining your Reiki techniques and studying new healing modalities, while the second portion will focus on how to teach Reiki to others and attune students to all levels of Reiki.
After completing level three B training, a student will be considered a Reiki master, fully prepared to build a Reiki community of their own and to pass on the wisdom through classes they will sponsor.
Students will be welcome to take level three A to be a Reiki master practitioner but will need three B if they ever choose to attune others and complete the full Reiki education process.
Frequently asked questions:
Is prior experience necessary for this certification?
Heartwood Yoga Institute likes to cover all the basics, from history and theory to practice and potential, making this the perfect program for people new to Reiki or advanced practitioners. Join them to explore, learn, and awaken your healing nature.
It is not so important where you begin, because where you end will be expanded awareness a commitment to healing, and a peaceful connection to self, others, and the world at large.
Is it practical to take all four levels of training in one weekend?
Years ago, Reiki teachers advised students to spread out the levels, providing time to practice and slowly grow in understanding and technique.
Heartwood Yoga Institute has found that when people are only exposed to a small portion of the training at a time, they will come back months later to continue to the next level, but they haven't practiced much, so they have forgotten much of what they learned in the foundation levels.
When you study the levels sequentially, you get a stronger intellectual understanding of Reiki and are inspired by the potential for the practice.
Of course, it will be up to you to practice and develop energetic sensitivity after the formal training to become a skilled master, but you will leave with all the information you need to begin your Reiki journey and to become an instrument of healing and light for others.
