Experiential Sessions
One of the not-to-be-missed conference highlights are the experiential sessions where you will receive beautiful healing Reiki energy from renowned practitioners:
Mainstream Reiki’s Andrea Kennedy will open the conference with a calming Reiki meditation, which will ground and center you, inviting Reiki energy to flow through and connect all participants as we embark on two days of exploration into Reiki research. Together, we’ll set intentions for open hearts, curious minds, and collective healing, creating a space where science and spirit meet in harmony.
On October 5th, experience a transformative Soul Alignment Journey with Heart Rhythm Reiki’s Cami Coté where guided imagery and Himalayan singing bowls lead you into deep meditation, revitalizing your energy and elevating your spirit. The powerful combination of Singing Bowl Sound Therapy and Holy Fire Reiki will clear, align, and detoxify your body, fostering profound relaxation and healing.
