If you’re feeling drawn to Reiki as a healing art and spiritual practice, 2026 may be the right year to step in. I only offer Reiki Level I/II twice a year now, around February and July. February's offering will be held in the Crystal Coast area of NC and July's will be offered out of state next year.

Reiki is a practice that invites us to slow down, listen deeply, and become attentive to the movements of life within and around us. The winter season is a perfect reflection of this time to go within, slow down, and listen.

Additional details and registration to follow.

Next February marks 18 years since I first stepped into Reiki, a practice that has shaped my life in both subtle and profound ways.

For almost two decades now, Reiki has supported me physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. It's helped me find balance in times of stress (graduate school and caring for a parent), presence in moments of overwhelm (presentation anxiety and in speaking my truth), peace in the middle of chaos (life at times), and deeper connection to myself and those around me. What began as curiosity has grown into a lifelong companion on my spiritual journey. I honestly never had a Reiki session before I did the training, something just led me to it and I'm forever grateful.

As I've been doing for the past few years, I usually offer Reiki Level I/II twice a year and the first one for the year around the anniversary of when I completed my training.

Level I will be February 28th, 2026, and Level II will be March 1st, 2026.

Save the Dates! Reiki is more than energy work. It’s a practice of self-care and conscious presence. The skills, tools, and practices you learn will benefit you for years to come.

I only offer Reiki twice a year in February and July. In 2026, the only offering of it in the Crystal Coast area will be February 28th for Level I and March 1st for Level II.

Location details will be announced soon.

On my recent trip to Maui, I visited the Kapalua Labyrinth again. It's probably one of my favorite places on Maui to just be with. I can feel the power here. The labyrinth itself is one of the largest that I've walked. It's a medieval design which I'm not personally fond of, but the geography of the area is breathtaking. Kapalua can be translated to arms embracing the sea.

There is a labyrinth here for self-reflection and meditation as you can see my friends here walking it, but the general area is a sacred site for Hawaiians. It's known as a leina.

I'm currently working on a new blog that will shed some more insight on what this area is for Native Hawaiians, how the labyrinth here mirrors the sacredness, and what came up in my thoughts with another labyrinth design called the Man in the Maze within the cosmology of the Tohono O'odhom tribe of Southern Arizonia and Northern New Mexico. Odd connection but when you study different cultural groups sacred sites and mythology you begin to see some overlaps. It's also interesting to reflect here on the past and current sacred practices of individuals and groups.

One of my favorite things to share from Reiki and that I return to frequently, is the Reiki Ideals. There are many translations and variations, but this is what I was taught and what I pass on. It brings you fully into the present moment. In trainings early on I'd pass out little cards with it on it for students to tape to their bathroom mirrors or place in the cars to remind them to say it when they needed it. I wonder how many may still have that card or made their own to repeat.

The next Reiki Training will be Saturday February 28th for Level I and Level II will follow on Sunday March 1st. Stay tuned for additional details and location information.

I'll have signed copies of my labyrinth workbook and journal available for purchase Friday at the labyrinth walk. These make great gifts for those that like to journal and love labyrinths. You'll also learn a little about the history, types, and uses of labyrinths.

We needed to reschedule the November labyrinth walk to this Friday November 14th at 6 pm. I hope you'll join us!

The evening walks are always a favorite for the community. The lights will be on around the labyrinth creating the perfect ambience in this thin place for going within. If you've been to a dusk/evening walk you know how special these are.

These are free events open to everyone. The labyrinth walk for some is a contemplative spiritual practice and for others it is a prayer path. Perhaps this time of year it could be a walk of gratitude. There are many reasons people come to walk. The group energy, love, and presence always add to the experience. The labyrinth as a participant once said is a benign looking space but quietly powerful - especially when we are all together walking in silence.

The monthly walks are facilitated by yours truly here and graciously hosted by St. Francis Episcopal Church at their beautiful labyrinth.

I am back after spending three weeks in Scotland!! I finally got to see and walk the labyrinth at Findhorn this time. Love the natural beach washed up stones used to outline the path. A very special feeling at this one!

Deep gratitude to everyone who joined the Labyrinth Walk yesterday. This marks the beginning of the third year I've had the honor of facilitating these free community gatherings.

After a summer break, it was powerful to witness 14 unique souls walking the path together this morning. It’s always lovely to welcome back familiar faces & to share the experience with new ones. Thank you to those who invited friends this time!

As a facilitator, I don’t walk the labyrinth with the group. For the first time while watching, I noticed a big energetic shift when everyone was on it together & after when the labyrinth stood still surrounded by silent reflection. It truly loves to be walked.

Thank you to St. Francis Episcopal Church for your ongoing support & for providing the mic & beautiful meditation music today. In the past, we’ve had a live guitarist, but this was our first time with soft music mixed with nature & the birds singing. The music created an even more serene & sacred atmosphere. While I’m not a member, I’m deeply grateful for the church’s collaboration & belief in what I bring to offer others on their spiritual journey.

Some reflections from today’s walk that may resonate from participants:

🌗 Light & Shadow on the Path just like in life. The sunlight filtering through the trees mirrored the sacred symbolism of the “Man in the Maze” labyrinth design from the Tohono O'odham people I show an example of. The path guiding us through life’s twists & turns, light & dark, toward wisdom & balance.

🪷 Giving to Receive. At the St. Francis Labyrinth, walkers are invited to carry & release a shell in the center. One participant beautifully reflected on the power of letting go to receive. (The 4 R’s map of labyrinth walking usually has releasing along the walk & receiving in the center.)

🤝 We Are Not Alone. While walking alone has its power, walking together reminds us: we are each on our own journey, but we don’t have to walk it all alone. Support is here, if we’re open to it.

Thank you for showing up with open hearts & curiosity. I’m honored to walk this journey with you & deeply grateful for the wonderful people supporting it each step of the way. 🌿
