Alabama, the Yellowhammer State, stretches from the Tennessee line in the north to Florida and the Gulf of Mexico in the south. People anywhere inside those borders can join the Ascension School of Healing Arts online. Our school is based in Ferndale, Michigan, and every Alabama option on this page is either a live Zoom class or a self-study course.
Because the live Zoom class comes to your screen, it makes no difference whether you live near Huntsville, the largest city by population and by area, or in Montgomery, the capital. A student in Alabama might join from a kitchen table in Mobile, the oldest city, founded by French colonists in 1702, or from a quiet room in Greater Birmingham.
The live Zoom class is taught in real time, so you can ask questions, practice with the group and hear the teacher respond to you directly. Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999, and she brings a steady, practical style to each session on screen. You only need a device with a camera and a calm corner of your home.
A student in Alabama might log on after a shift at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville or after a long day in Mobile, then settle in for quiet hands-on practice. The same live Zoom class reaches the central Black Belt, the Gulf coast and the hills around Mount Cheaha, the high point of Alabama at 2,413 feet.
Self-study courses give you the lessons to work through when it suits you, so you can pause, repeat a section and practice until it feels natural. Many people like having material they can return to whenever they want to refresh what they have learned.
For someone in Alabama whose fall Saturdays belong to the Crimson Tide or the Auburn Tigers, a self-study course can fit around the game schedule. A student in Alabama might also pair the self-study material with a later live Zoom class, reviewing lessons in a slow week and joining the group when the calendar opens up.
Alabama holds four national forests, Conecuh, Talladega, Tuskegee and William B. Bankhead, along with Little River Canyon National Preserve near Fort Payne. A student in Alabama might take a calm breath on a forest trail and then bring that same settled attention to Reiki practice at home.
Alabama also carries deep layers of history, from the Moundville Archaeological Site of the Mississippian culture to the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail. Whatever part of the state you call home, from Gulf Shores to the Tennessee line, the live Zoom class and the self-study courses are open to you.
