Our Reiki Program
The Reiki Program in the Evenstar Institute is focused on building a community of Reiki practitioners. We use team-teaching and peer learning in our classes and in 2020 we began offering Reiki classes online. In 2021 we are moving forward with both online and in-person classes.

Reiki Level 1
These three Reiki workshops are designed to meet you exactly where you are. Each one stands fully on its own, offering a complete and meaningful experience whether you are simply curious, seeking personal healing, or exploring your relationship with energy. They also serve as nourishing refreshers for those who have previously trained in Reiki and wish to reconnect with the practice or receive another attunement. For those called to pursue certification, all three workshops—Reiki for Self‑Healing, Reiki & Working with Energy, and Sharing Reiki with Others—are required and together provide the full foundation needed for Reiki I certification
Next workshops:
Reiki for Self-Healing: March 16, 6-9pm
Reiki and Working with Energy: April 25, 1-4pm
Sharing Reiki with Others: May 31, 1-4pm
$75 each
Each section limited to 10 registrants total, minimum of 4
Taught by members of our Reiki Master Teacher Team

Reiki Level 2
The attunements for Reiki 2 will help refine and “widen” your energy channels, giving you access to more “amperage.” The learning focus for this level is to work with the Reiki symbols directly – learning their functions and applications; learn how to use Reiki for distance healing; and to practice doing Reiki treatments on others.

Reiki Level 3 Master (RM)
Like level 2, the Reiki 3 attunements continue to refine and amp up your ability to channel the Reiki energy. This level is heavy on practice and deepening into one’s nuanced dance with energy work. There is also focus on the psycho-spiritual development of the Reiki Master practitioner. In Reiki 3, we practice a peer-learning model on our path to mastery.

Minimum of 4, Limit of 8 registrants.
Held at our Ypsilanti campus (address provided upon registration).

Reiki for Kids!
Reiki for Kids!
Reiki is a beautiful system for accessing life force energy that can be an invaluable aid for kids in this high-stress, chaotic world. In this class, they will be connected with this energy, and shown how to use it for self-healing, self-soothing and self-knowing. They will also be learning ways of using Reiki to connect with love to other Beings in their environments – people, animals, plants, etc.
They will be learning:
- ways to help manage and protect their own energy,
- how to use Reiki to help with their emotional regulation,
- how to use Reiki to develop their intuitive skills,
- and the importance of consent in energy exchange (getting/giving permission, knowing when Reiki is appropriate for a situation.)
This beginner Reiki class is geared toward older kids, approximate age range 7-12. They will receive the level 1 attunements for Usui Reiki, a printed manual, and a certificate upon completion.
We are managing our Reiki for Kids differently from our other Reiki Classes. In this case, we ask that parents purchase a Reiki for Kids course in which up to 6 children participate. In this way, you can pool with other parents if you wish. We will provide two teachers, the space (if needed) and materials. Class dates will be coordinated between the teachers and the parents. This course is best if delivered in 3 2-hour classes over a 3-week period - although that can be adjusted if scheduling proves too tricky.
