REIKI RETREATS
Retreats are the best, aren’t they? There’s just something about being out of your everyday surroundings, in a beautiful place with beautiful people, doing things that make you feel alive. It helps you remember who you are and what you came here to experience.
That’s pretty much how we all felt on our last Reiki Retreat in Sedona, AZ.
Beautiful world… beautiful people.

Accommodations
Our backyard. Seriously! And this picture doesn’t even show the private creek access below.
Nestled right along Oak Creek, your home for the week long Sedona Reiki Retreat is nothing short of magical. Lush, green nature surrounds the expansive property. Perhaps you’ll pick an apple from a nearby tree before venturing across the creek to the small island where you relax in the hammock listening to the water rush by. Or maybe you send yourself Reiki under the willow tree as you wait for your Kundalini or vinyasa yoga class to begin.
From the gorgeous views of Cathedral Rock to the spacious interior of the home to the stunning stars at night, this beautiful property and sacred land promises to stay in your mind for some time to come.
That creek, though…
Can you see the purple orb in this picture?
What about the orange one?
About Sedona
For thousands of years, many indigenous people came to Sedona to perform special rituals and ceremonies. They understood the power of this land and its ability to heal and transform.
As soon as you enter into the vortex – for the whole of Sedona is a vortex, really – you will almost certainly feel the energy as well. There is a buzz in the air. Maybe it is the breathtaking views of the red rocks in all directions, or the underground crystals this land stands upon, or being home to the celebrated stupa (Buddhist shrine.)
Regardless of whether you can put your finger on it or not, there is just something about Sedona. Something that guarantees your week to be an extremely healing, powerful and life-changing experience. There is a reason Sedona, AZ is the spiritual capital of the world.
Just a typical view in Sedona, no big deal.
Reiki I and II Certification
In addition to receiving your Reiki I and II certification, you also give and receive Reiki every day of the retreat. You have the chance to participate in Reiki shares and attend workshops like Animal Reiki, Reiki for the Kundalini Yogi and How to Start Your Own Reiki Practice. By the end of the retreat, you have within you all the tools to start a successful private Reiki practice if you so desire.

Until next time, Sedona…

Great Morning all the way from California
I’ve been wanting to go on a retreat (REIKI) but don’t know where to start looking , my coworkers have told me about visiting Sedona Az. Would like to know if theirs one coming up pretty soon or when do you have the retreats ? Thank you
Hi Brooke,
I love what you have put together here and wish you were still giving the retreats. I am a Reiki Master in Roverside, Ca and my Master classes are sort of like your mini retreats. (I also used to give weekend Yoga and Reiki retreats.). Please add me to your mailing list. I think there are many of us who love to get together for Reiki, meditation, Yoga, workshops, and possibly creative mandala art, sound therapy Tibetan singing bowls, mantra and even, perhaps, throw in a massage for good measure! Many of us would love that! Namaste to all reading this!
Jacquie
Hi Jacquie,
Aww, thank you so much for your email : ) I definitely want to start up the Reiki Retreats again when the time is right; just reading your email with all those amazing healing modalities makes me want to plan a retreat right now! : ) It’s true, coming together as a community of Reiki practitioners (who, let’s face it, are all pretty great- it’s rare that I’ve met a Reiki practitioner I didn’t resonate with!) – is such a great thing. Thanks again for your email, and I will definitely add you to my Reiki newsletter.
You take care Jacquie…

Hi I’m very interested in a Reiki retreat. Do you know if there will be one this year? If not do you have any recommendations for other retreats!?
Thank you!
Dawn
Hi Dawn,
I wish I had something more concrete to write back to you, but unfortunately I kind of think we won’t be doing the retreat this year. I am still working on finishing my online Reiki video classes – I’ve finished Reiki I and Animal Reiki, but still have to put together Reiki II and the Master class. My friend who I did the retreat with is also pretty busy with her new baby.
And shoot, honestly I don’t really know any other retreats to recommend. I’ve never been on a Reiki Retreat aside from ours, and I’ve been on yoga retreats that I loved but they were a few years back.
I wish you the best of luck though in finding one if you haven’t already! Getting away is really the best thing sometimes. I just got back from a week in Sedona (visiting friends and going to a few classes at the Sedona Yoga Festival), and honestly it was EXACTLY what I needed. : ) I feel like a new person!
Take care, Dawn.

I am curious about a retreat to re-energize my reiki! I am a Reiki 2 and have been feeling overwhelmed with negativity! I feel a retreat will help so much. I am trying to plan my vacation and would like to know prices and dates on your retreats.
Hi Jenny,
We don’t have any upcoming Reiki retreats in the works right now, unfortunately. My friend Anna who I do the retreats with just had a baby, so she’s a little busy : ), and I had a really intense, hectic year as well.
But I do agree with you that a retreat or getaway can help so much! Help to restore our energy levels and also give us that necessary space to just breathe and just be. I really hope you find one that fits you!
As far as feeling overwhelmed with negativity – I’m so sorry to hear that. If it helps at all, almost everyone I know who’s in touch with their feelings has felt the same way this past year! : ) The energy is intense, lots of acceleration and major changes taking place on our planet.
In my Reiki I video class, there’s a section on How to Protect Ourselves from Unwanted Energies. I will email you the part of the handout in that section that talks about How to Cleanse Yourself from Unwanted Energies. Hopefully it will give you some new ideas of ways you can get any lower energies away from you!
Take care, Jenny!

I was curious if you have a minimum age limit on these Reiki retreats? I am 18 but one of my friends I would like to show this to is 16.
Hi Paige,
Thanks so much for your question.
No, there’s no age limit for our Reiki retreats, you would be more than welcome to come, and your friend as well! I think it’s so great that you’re interested in Reiki already, I wish I had learned more about energy when I was just graduating from high school.
The youngest people I’ve attuned to Reiki (so far) were ten years old. Understanding energy and knowing an energywork healing technique like Reiki is such a great thing to have, I wish everyone learned Reiki in school, I really do.
Good luck with everything, and I hope it works out that you join us on a retreat! The best way to find out about them is to sign up for my Reiki newsletter, which you can do on this page: http://www.reikitrainingclasses.org/newsletter/
Take care!
Brooke
I just…saw the ‘contact us button’ so um ignore my previous comment…
I would like to know how much the retreat cost, I looked on this site but am unable to find it I apologize if it’s right in front of my face…XD
Hi Amber,
Thanks so much for your question. I don’t have the exact prices up for our upcoming Reiki retreats because we haven’t actually planned the exact dates yet… Also, in 2014 our Reiki I and II Retreat was a week long, whereas this year we are planning to have the Sedona Reiki Retreat likely be from a Thursday through a Sunday sometime this summer. The price will probably be around $1200, which includes lodging, all meals, Reiki I and II certification and training, yoga classes, and more, but we are still figuring everything out!
We are doing a Reiki I retreat in Carlsbad, CA (near San Diego) in April, on a Friday through a Sunday, and the price for that weekend will be $750.
The best way to find out exactly when the dates are and prices and everything would be to sign up for the Reiki Training Classes newsletter. We’ll let everyone know through the newsletter about Early Bird discounts and Special Rates.
Good luck with everything, and if you have any other questions, please feel free to ask!
