Ascension School of Healing Arts Serving Hamtramck, Michigan 48211

Reiki Training for the World in Two Square Miles

Hamtramck calls itself the world in two square miles, and the phrase fits. Mosques, Polish Catholic churches, and Bangladeshi and Yemeni businesses share the same streets, and the city motto is a league of nations. At the Ascension School of Healing Arts in Ferndale, we welcome students from that same mix of backgrounds and traditions. Our Reiki and energy healing classes are built so people can learn side by side with respect.

Whether you live near Joseph Campau Avenue or elsewhere in the 48211 or 48212 ZIP codes, you can study Reiki with us in a way that suits your week. Come to class in person at the school in Ferndale, join the live Zoom class from home, or work through a self-study course at your own pace.

Learning in Person at Our Ferndale School

Many Hamtramck students like learning hands-on, in a room with other people. In person classes at our Ferndale school give you time to practice hand positions, ask questions as they come up, and feel how a small group settles into quiet attention together. Donna Lakes, who has been teaching since 1999, guides each class with a practical, steady approach.

Hamtramck grew around factory work, from the Dodge Main plant that opened in 1910 and 1911 to today's GM Factory Zero, and plenty of households still keep busy, uneven schedules. If a class date does not line up with your week, the live Zoom class lets you keep learning with the group from wherever you are.

Live Online and Self-Study Options

Not every student in Hamtramck can step away for a class in Ferndale, and that is fine. The live Zoom class lets you see and hear the teacher in real time, practice alongside other students, and ask questions out loud. All you need is a quiet corner and a steady connection.

Our self-study courses suit people who prefer to read, listen and practice on their own schedule. You might study early before work, between family commitments, or late in the evening once the house is still. You can always move from self-study into a live class when you want more company and feedback.

Quiet Practice in a Lively City

Hamtramck is a city of celebrations. On Paczki Day, lines form at Polish bakeries hours ahead, the city holds the only annual Paczki Day parade in the United States, and the streets fill with food tents, live music and dancing. Add a long independent music and arts scene, and it is easy to see why some residents look for a calm counterweight to all that energy.

Reiki offers a simple, gentle practice of rest and attention that many people enjoy keeping as part of their routine. Having a few quiet moments each day that belong just to you can be a welcome change of pace. Our classes show you how to set up that practice at home, wherever you live in Hamtramck.
