What is Reiki and how does it promote healing?

Reiki is a form of energy healing that aims to improve the flow of energy in the body, promote relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, and support the body's natural healing processes. Practising Reiki on yourself and others removes energy blockages on a physical, mental and emotional level and improves overall well-being. Click here to read more about Reiki.

Is Reiki associated with any religion or belief?

Reiki is not a religion, nor is it tied to any particular religion or belief system. It is a spiritual practice based on the concept of channelling universal life force energy to promote healing and well-being.

Can anyone learn Reiki, or is it necessary to have a background in healing or meditation?

Anyone can learn Reiki, regardless of their intellectual capacity, spiritual development or previous experience of healing or meditation. Reiki is easy to learn and requires no special background, beliefs or qualifications.

How many participant are there in one retreat group?

For us, it is not only the teaching that is of great importance but that the retreat is effective for each participant and that everyone returns as a confident Reiki practitioner. We have therefore decided to limit the number of participants to 6-8 to ensure a personalised and focused experience for all. This allows the Reiki Teacher to give undivided attention to each participant and make the learning experience as deep and effective as possible for everyone.

Usually a Reiki initiation is made within 1-2 days. Why is this formation so much longer?

In today’s fast-paced world, many Reiki trainings are condensed into 1-2 days, leaving students feeling insecure about their understanding and practice. On this one-week retreat we teach ReikiLevel 1 and Level 2, offering ample time to thoroughly learn and practice all techniques surrounded by nature and away from everyday distractions.

What will I learn on this Reiki Retreat?

You will learn the history and principles of Reiki, the procedure and hand positions for self-treatment and treating others, various meditation techniques, the use of Reiki symbols, a training to sense and treat stuck energies, the principles of the chakra system and energy flow and much more. You will receive learning and support material and manuals to help you on your Reiki journey during and after the retreat. For a more detailed breakdown of the retreat content, please see the package description.

How can I be sure the Reiki formation and Retreat experience will be effective?

The SpiritIn Reiki Retreats are designed to give each participant enough space and time not only to learn, but also to practice, test, experience and experiment, and to clarify any uncertainties that may arise during the retreat, while relaxing in a serene environment surrounded by nature. You will receive personal guidance during and after the retreat until you feel confident as a Reiki practitioner.

Are there any cultural or language considerations for international participants?

The Reiki Formations are open to all people regardless of cultural or religious background. At present, the Reiki Retreats are only offered in English, but your instructors speak English, German and Spanish and will translate any lecture on the retreat if necessary.

Retreats in German will be available soon.

Will I receive a certificate upon completion of the Reiki formation?

Yes, upon completion of the Reiki Training, each student will receive a certificate that recognises their level of training and ability to practice Usui Reiki.

Will I receive some kind of support after the Retreat?

After the retreat, you will continue to receive guidance from your Reiki instructor for the first few weeks to help you successfully integrate Reiki practice into your daily life. This support can take the form of one-on-one calls as well as video meetings. In addition, the connection with your Reiki peers at the retreat is designed to last. After each retreat, there will be a dedicated WhatsApp/Telegram group with all retreat participants to support each other on the Reiki journey and to share questions and experiences with the first steps of Reiki healing.
