This workshop is an opportunity for Reiki people to explore the beauty and power of sound healing. All students will be invited to deepen their connection to the Reiki source, with Reiju empowerments given to promote the deepest possible healing experience on the weekend.
This course is open to Reiki 2 and above. If you have not studied with me before you will need to send a copy of your Reiki 2 or Reiki Master certificate. All Reiki lineages are welcome.
Detailed study notes and healing recordings are provided after the course, along with certificates for all students who complete the weekend.
Please note, drums are not included in the price. Students are invited to bring their own, or I can assist you by sourcing one for you or directing you to a trusted supplier.
About the course
I am an experienced vocal sound healer and have spent many years developing my own healing voice techniques and leading groups of healers and spiritual seekers in group voice work for healing. For this I draw on my background in singing, magic, mantra and shamanic healing training. Kotodama are part of the original Reiki system, and we lead with those, however I invite and support students to go far further than standard Reiki training will ever cover. This is intuitive, creative voice work empowered by Reiki.
I also have over 15 years of shamanic medicine drumming experience, and in 2008 I trained in the Reiki Drumming techniques designed by Michael Arthur Baird in 1999 in Arizona. I was one of the earliest qualified Reiki Drum Master Teachers in the UK and, while I no longer work within the confines of that system, my own unique work with Reiki and the drums owes much to the ideas originated in that training.
Course outline:
Working with the voice, we will explore the Japanese Kotodama traditionally associated with Reiki, moving from basic chanting and toning to the building of non-traditional (and extremely magical!) rolling mantras within the group. We will also explore the vibrational power of words and affirmations, practicing ways to bring positive focus into healing sessions for our clients and ourselves.
As well as working with the voice we will work with the drum, learning deep healing and shamanic journeying techniques for ourselves and our clients. Shamanic medicine drumming is an ancient practice, and together we will learn to weave Reiki healing into our drums in Reiki drumming techniques.
