About this Event
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.
"Sit or lie down for a session of energy flow," says poet Christina M. Rau. "Then write (or create in any way you wish) based on your Reiki experience. Open to all, including first-time Reiki recipients and first-time creators. Simply listening is also an option. Bring your own pens, paper, and other tools of craft as well as a towel or a yoga mat to get comfortable on the floor (not necessary if on a chair)."
