Group Reiki to Heal Your Mind & Spirit
Thursday
July 23rd
6:30pm to 7:30pm
$50/person
2 spots left
With Dawn Piper, Level 3 Tera Mai™ Reiki practitioner
How are your thoughts? Are they kind/gentle/helpful or mean/critical/judgmental?
If you’re like many people, you might not even realize how negative a lot of your thoughts are - but the good news is that you can start to change this pattern!
Join us for this amazing Reiki session to reprogram your thoughts, release old, negative patterns and create space for new ones so you can be your best. You will move forward and build energy for the life you want.
Group class is in person at the studio. I also offer private sessions via distance healing through Zoom.
This is intentionally a small group setting of 5 so everyone will receive Reiki for them specifically.
