The Healer's Journey......
................and Reiki Training
What is the Healer’s Journey?
To heal (verb)— 1. to make healthy, whole, or sound
The Healer’s Journey is a celebration of those who are on the path to greater wholeness and freedom. Recognizing that the greatest thing we can offer the world is the fullness of our deepest, most loving, most authentic Self, The Healer’s Journey honors and supports the individual and collective processes of growth and evolution. Catalyzed by immersion in Reiki, each participant receives guidance and mentorship as their path to wholeness unfolds. This includes body-centered practices for grounding and cultivating energy, tools to deepen emotional and spiritual growth, self-care practices for nurture and healing, and a growing community of souls weaving the new fabric of creation.

What is Reiki?
Reiki is an energy-healing modality traced in it’s current form to Japan. This Universal Life-Energy (the literal translation of rei-ki), is a safe and effective tool for relaxation, pain reduction, increased vitality, better sleep and digestion, and self-growth and discovery. Reiki I is primarily for self-healing, though practitioners can share this gentle healing gift with others. Reiki II advances the training and deepens the power of the Reiki healings for self and others. Reiki is passed directly from Master to Student through a simple meditative process called an attunement. Each attunement opens an individual to use this energy of Love and Healing for him- or herself and the world.
Reiki Training at Laughing Tree Space is part of the overall catalytic experience of the Healer's Journey, designed to support the individual in uncovering greater tools for healing self, other, and the world by recognizing that there is no true seperation between the three. Drawing on training with two Usui Reiki Masters (Pat Dionne-Dickson, Healing Adventures, Saranac Lake NY, and Barbara Borman, Journey2You, Santa Fe, NM), this training offers the energy and mentorship to increase energy awareness and energetic flow in the body, and support in learning to direct this energy for healing.
Whether you approach the journey to Wholeness from the point of view of personal growth, self-inquiry, mind training, mindfulness, spiritual practice, emotional, growth, or service, each one of us is on a journey or remembering and recognizing our inherent strengths, gifts, and completeness. As such, we are often called into the transformative fires of our shadows, fears, and outgrown beliefs, even as we celebrate the constant process of uncovering our true light, as we grow, evolve, and mature as human beings.
The Introduction to the Healer’s Journey supports and encourages the recognition and integration of this growth and transformation calling on tools from energy medicine (including Reiki, and Polarity Therapy), Self Care (influenced by Ayurveda and utilizing everyday things from the kitchen to create powerful opportunities for increased health and ease), movement practice (including but not limited to yoga asana), stillness practice (such as yoga nidra and meditation). The Healer's Journey is designed to increase awareness and gently integrate these qualities into daily life.
Each participant will be supported to develop a tool kit of personal care, sadhana (spiritual practices), and awareness exercises to support him or herself on the journey. Additionally, each participant has the opportunity to learn or advance their knowledge of the energy healing modality, Reiki which serves as a catalyst for increased energetic awareness and as a profound self care tool which can also be offered to others.
We are all on a journey uncovering our greatest gifts. Here is one way to support ourselves and each other on that journey.
