What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves: "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? " Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.....
We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in every one.....
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others the permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others. "
Marianne Williamson - 'A Return To Love' 1992

"Reiki ni Rei,
Sensei ni Rei,
Otagai ni Rei."

[ "Bow to the Reiki , bow to your teacher, bow to your fellow students" ]

By bowing you are expressing respect, courtesy, and gratitude to
your art, your teacher, other students, and yourself.

Ultimately, you are acknowledging the 'Blessing' you hold
- the 'Light Gift' that is within each of you - the "Sacred Potential - for Healing, Protection and Spiritual Development"
that is:
'the Reiki Phenomenon' ..

OPEN HOUSE

All of my programs have one thing in common, I present them with the intention of having the participant (you) open to your creative process by making various arts. Most of my classes and workshops contain a writing component and a goal of having you experience a sense of satisfaction from the process of creation and the pleasure gained from having something tangible crafted by your own hands, and the knowledge that you can now repeat the act of creation for your self or share this new skill with others!

I take great pleasure in expressing myself creatively through a variety of writing and arts processes. I workshop because I also enjoy sharing my skills and techniques with others wanting to explore their own modes of self expression.

I hope that you will join me and my colleagues by participating with us in our creative adventures!

You can choose individual or group retreats, workshops, conferences, and Reiki Sessions!

Looking forward to meeting you!
