First Degree Reiki
$235
First Degree Reiki is a practical art that offers tools to help make life more peaceful and joyful. This class rekindles wisdom that is already in each one of us. Students receive instruction in the history of Reiki in customary oral tradition, a discussion of the philosophy and principles of Reiki, the sequence of hand positions in a complete self –treatment and treatments on other people. Focused attention is given to guided practice in the giving and receiving of complete one-hour treatments, allowing students to confidently practice on themselves and others right away. Students participate in a series of four initiation ceremonies during the class which allow Reiki energy to move more fluently through the hands. (Students with previous First Degree training may audit the course with instructor approval for a cost of $95.)
Ten CEUs are included.

Second Degree Reiki
$500
After a First Degree practitioner has given treatments to themselves and others and experienced Reiki in their lives, a desire may develop to learn more and go further with the practice. Second Degree training involves deepening the practice of this gentle, effective hands-on healing art, offering additional tools for those who are drawn to an expanded experience. Students learn to send Reiki at a distance, assess energy during the process of a treatment, and explore and experience a new level of depth in the practice. One initiation ceremony is given in Second Degree. (Students with previous Second Degree training may audit the course with instructor approval for a cost of $175.)

The 42nd Annual Northwest Reiki Gathering Weekend
July 24th to 26th, 2026
“Infinite Paths of Reiki”
with
Kathy and Frank Coppieters
at Menucha Retreat and Conference Center, Corbett Oregon
Weekend Gathering
Traditionally, on the second weekend in August, Reiki practitioners from around the world gather on the sacred lands of Breitenbush Hot Springs in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon to share Reiki in a lively and diverse international community. For many in the community who return year after year, the Gathering is a joyful homecoming.
Since Breitenbush Hot Springs’ extreme loss during the 2020 fires, we’ve worked tirelessly to find a space for our community to meet in person. While they continue their rebuilding process, there is still limited space available to host our large groups in a way that is accessible to all of our community members. Breitenbush is our home and we look forward to the day when our community can return to the sacred lands there.
Since 2022 we met at Menucha Retreat and Conference Center in Corbett Oregon. Thirty minutes outside Portland Oregon. Based upon positive feedback from our community we decided to return to Menucha again this year. Due to their schedule, however, we have moved our meeting dates to earlier in the summer. We hope that this will help with heat-related issues and allergies many have experiences over the past few years.
The Weekend program is filled with inspiring talks from our guest speakers, large and small group discussions, group table Reiki and partner Reiki sessions, free time, stories, singing, laughter, hugs, and a few tears when we say goodbye until next year. We are working on still holding our famous dance night to celebrate our journey!
