Warren calls itself the heart of Macomb County, and it carries the nickname Detroit's largest suburb with good reason. This is a city shaped by steady work, from the General Motors Technical Center to the Detroit Arsenal, where so many neighbors spend long days on the Mound Road corridor or along Van Dyke Avenue. Reiki gives people who work that hard a quiet, practical skill they can return to at the end of a shift.
The Ascension School of Healing Arts is a Reiki and energy healing school in Ferndale, Michigan. Students from Warren learn with us in person at the Ferndale school, in the live Zoom class, or through our self-study courses. You choose the format that fits your week, and you can change formats as your life changes.
Many Warren students like learning in a room with other people. In person, you practice hand positions with a partner, ask questions the moment they come up, and get gentle, direct feedback on what you are doing. That shared practice time is where a lot of the learning settles in.
Classes are led by Donna Lakes, who has been teaching since 1999. Her style is warm and grounded, with plenty of time for practice and plain explanations. Whether you are brand new to Reiki or returning after years away, you will be met where you are, without pressure and without jargon.
Not every week allows a class in Ferndale. Warren has a lot of shift workers, parents and caregivers, and the live Zoom class lets you learn from your own living room in real time, with the same teacher, the same practice and the same chance to ask questions as everyone else in the group.
Self-study courses suit people who want to move at their own pace. You can begin on your own, then join a live Zoom class or come to Ferndale in person when you want group practice. Many students mix all three formats over time, and that is welcome here.
Warren has strong Polish and Eastern European roots, and each August the Warren Birthday Bash brings a carnival, fireworks and the Polish Day Parade to City Square. It is a city of long family ties and people who stay put, which is exactly the kind of setting where a calm daily practice can grow over years, not weeks.
Reiki asks for very little equipment: your hands, your attention and a few quiet minutes. Students tell us they practice before a commute on 12 Mile Road, after a swim at the Warren Community Center, or at the kitchen table once the house is asleep. What you learn with us is meant to be used in ordinary life, right at home in Warren.
Yes. Warren students can join the live Zoom class from home or start with a self-study course, then come to the Ferndale school in person whenever it suits them.
No experience is needed. Classes start with the basics, and Donna Lakes, teaching since 1999, explains each step in plain language with time for practice.
You learn hand positions, practice with a partner and ask questions as you go. The pace is relaxed, and the focus is on practical skills you can use at home.
