Ascension School of Healing Arts Serving Grosse Pointe, Michigan 48230

Reiki classes for Grosse Pointe neighbors

Grosse Pointe is a one-square-mile lakefront city in Wayne County, incorporated as a village in 1880 and as a city in 1934. People who live here can study Reiki in person at the Ascension School of Healing Arts in Ferndale, or join the live Zoom class from their own living room.

Grosse Pointe energy healing study at ASHA starts with Reiki, taught in a warm, grounded way by Donna Lakes, who has been teaching since 1999. The school also offers self-study courses for anyone who wants to learn at a quieter pace between other commitments.

Life around the Village and Neff Park

The Village is a three-block stretch of Kercheval Avenue from Neff to Cadieux, and locals consider it the downtown for all five Grosse Pointes. A student in Grosse Pointe might run errands there, then come home and sit down for a practice session while the day is still gentle.

Neff Park is a residents-only lakefront park with a marina, a pool, playgrounds and winter ice skating. A student in Grosse Pointe might use a walk along the water as a quiet bridge between a busy workday and an evening of Reiki practice.

Choosing in person or live online

In-person classes happen at the school in Ferndale, which suits people who like learning hands-on beside a teacher and classmates. Reiki is a hands-on practice, so sitting in the same room lets you ask questions and see the technique up close.

The live Zoom class suits a household where evenings are tight. In a city where 84.2% of occupied housing units are owner-occupied, many people have a calm room at home that works well as a practice space. A student in Grosse Pointe might even set up a corner near a favorite window.

A place with deep roots and thoughtful neighbors

Grosse Pointe has a long history as Detroit's first commuter suburb, and it still has historic touches like the Ralph Harmon Booth House in the residential blocks south of Kercheval and the Grosse Pointe Unitarian Church on Maumee near Neff. Community groups such as the Rotary Club of Grosse Pointe and the Grosse Pointe Chamber of Commerce show how much neighbors here care about gathering.

If you enjoy learning alongside others, a Reiki class can feel like another way to gather. Reach out to ASHA to ask which class dates fit your schedule, and whether in person in Ferndale or live online suits you better.
