Reiki Classes Near Grosse Pointe Farms and Lake St. Clair

Grosse Pointe Farms, known locally as The Farms, sits on the western shore of Lake St. Clair, and the Ascension School of Healing Arts welcomes people from here to learn Reiki and energy healing. Our school is in Ferndale, and people in Grosse Pointe Farms can join a class in person there or take the same class live on Zoom from home. If you have been looking for Reiki classes near Grosse Pointe Farms, either path leads to the same teaching and the same warm group.

A student in Grosse Pointe Farms might start the day with a walk at Pier Park, the city's lakefront park with its marina, pool and tennis, and then settle in later for a self-study lesson at the kitchen table. Reiki asks for very little equipment: your hands, your attention and a quiet place to sit. The calm of the water along Lake Shore Road makes a fitting place to practice what you learn.

A Simple Practice on a Lakeshore With a Long Memory

The Grosse Pointe lakeshore was first farmed by French colonists in the 1750s, in long ribbon farms that reached back from the water. In 1893 the portion east of Fisher Road broke away as the Village of Grosse Pointe Farms after a dispute over where to put a tavern, and it became a city in 1949. A place shaped by patient, steady work suits a practice like Reiki, which is learned one session at a time.

The Grosse Pointe War Memorial, housed in the Alger House at 32 Lake Shore Road, serves all of the Pointes as a civic and community arts hub. A student in Grosse Pointe Farms who enjoys the classes and gatherings there might find that a Reiki circle feels familiar: a small group, a calm room and plenty of space for questions. Our classes keep that same friendly, unhurried feel.

Learning in Ferndale or in the Live Zoom Class

Our in person classes meet at the school in Ferndale, where Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999. You practice hands on with partners, ask questions as they come up and leave with clear notes to take home. Many people like learning the hand positions in person first, because it helps to feel how a session flows from start to finish.

If you would rather stay in Grosse Pointe Farms, the live Zoom class follows the same lessons in real time, so you can ask questions and practice right along with the group. Self-study courses are also available for people who want to learn at their own pace. A student in Grosse Pointe Farms might mix the two, taking one level in Ferndale and reviewing it later through a self-study course.

Community Ties Around The Hill

The Hill, the Kercheval Avenue business district, blends historic storefronts with newer shops and restaurants, and the Grosse Pointe Chamber of Commerce serves the five Grosse Pointes from 63 Kercheval Ave. A student in Grosse Pointe Farms might run errands on The Hill and then sit down for a few minutes of Reiki self practice at home, a small routine that fits easily into a busy week.

Grosse Pointe Farms has deep community roots, from American Legion Post 372, established in January 1928, to the Rotary Club of Grosse Pointe and the Grosse Pointe Lions Club. The Country Club of Detroit hosted the 1954 U.S. Amateur, where Arnold Palmer won the title he called the turning point of his career. Reiki rewards that same kind of steady practice, and our energy healing classes are here whenever you are ready to begin.
