About the course

How do we connect with our clients on the body level, the environmental level, without becoming overly analytical? How can we create interventions that are non-verbal and yet feel deeply connected with clients? How do we lead by example and show what it looks like to move through experiences in an embodied way? This introductory course will explore one perspective for how we can achieve these aspirations, through considering an energy-based perspective to psychotherapy using the system of reiki.  Reiki can be defined as universal energy, and is based on the premise that all animate things and beings hold energy. If energy is a part of life, then increasing the flow of energy would promote healing. It is a person-centered modality that emphasizes self-healing and pairs naturally with many psychotherapeutic modalities. Even without formal reiki training, every person has access to reiki and holds energy in their own body. This class is for anyone, regardless of experience with energy work.
