Reiki Classes for Shelby Township Residents

Shelby, officially Shelby Charter Township, is a fast-growing suburb in Macomb County with roots as a 19th-century farming community, and people there can join Reiki and energy healing classes with the Ascension School of Healing Arts. Our Reiki school is based in Ferndale, and Shelby residents can choose to attend in person there or take the live Zoom class from home.

Shelby Township has changed a great deal since Nathaniel Burgess first settled the land in 1818, moving from orchards and dairy farms to the auto industry and the historic Packard Proving Grounds. A student in Shelby might find that a steady, hands-on Reiki practice offers a calm counterweight to a busy week in one of metro Detroit's fastest-growing communities.

Quiet Places in Shelby to Practice

Reiki practice often grows between classes, and Shelby Township has generous green space for that kind of quiet time. The Burgess-Shadbush Nature Center on River Bends Drive interprets the 80 acre Shadbush Tract of hardwood forest, cattail marsh, and cedar swamp, and River Bends Park is divided by the Clinton River, with a bridge joining its two sections.

A student in Shelby might take a slow walk along the Macomb Orchard Trail, which begins at 24 Mile and Dequindre Roads, and use it to practice grounding and breath awareness from class. Others could sit near the water at Stony Creek Metropark, whose main entrance is in Shelby Township, and spend a few unhurried minutes on self-Reiki before heading home.

Fitting Classes Around the Shelby Township Calendar

Life in Shelby Township has its own seasonal rhythm, from the Shelby Township Summer Fest in June to the Shelby Township Art Fair in August, and fall visits to Yates Cider Mill on the Clinton River. Because ASHA offers in person classes in Ferndale, live Zoom classes, and self-study courses, a Shelby resident can plan learning around those busy weekends.

A student in Shelby might attend a class in person in Ferndale to practice hands-on positions with classmates, then join a later session on Zoom during a crowded summer month. Self-study courses give another option for anyone who wants to review material at their own pace at home in Shelby Township.

Classes at ASHA are led by Donna Lakes, who has been teaching since 1999. Her approach is warm and practical, with time for questions, hands-on practice, and simple routines that people can carry into daily life, whether they are learning in Ferndale or on the live Zoom class.
