What Is the Focus?

The foundation of this workshop is based on a very unique partnership.  Although it is not common to associate the calming influence of Reiki with the theories of Conflict Resolution, we believe that they go together perfectly.  Conflict Resolution offers concrete answers to many troubling issues, and these solutions are so needed in today’s world.  It is our purpose to introduce you to various models of Conflict Resolution and Conscious Communication.  We will interweave these peacemaking tools with the healing energy and spirituality of Reiki. 

We feel that the power of Reiki can bring greater clarity to any situation in which there is conflict.  This can apply to anything from a minor squabble to dissent among nations.  Since we believe that true peace begins within the heart of each individual, we are able to have a positive impact on our families and friends, the places where we work, our communities, and, ultimately, the entire world around us.

What Will I Learn?

By combining Reiki with effective Conflict Resolution and Conscious Communication skills, a synergy results, which enables us to work through the personal issues that have kept us disconnected.  The wisdom of the Five Reiki Principles will form the basis of our discussion.

We will draw on the work of leading Conflict Resolution experts such as Marshall Rosenberg, William Ury, Roger Fisher, Michael Nagler, and Dudley Weeks, as well as the philosophical and spiritual teachings of Louise Diamond, Byron Katie, Pema Chodron, and Thich Nhat Hanh. 

To further enrich the process, we will use movement, meditation, yoga, sound healing, and visual art.  They will be woven into the fabric of the workshop to create a very dynamic experience.

• Using Reiki and the five Reiki Principles in innovative ways
