The Ascension School of Healing Arts teaches from Ferndale, Michigan, and people in Alkmaar, in the province of North Holland, can join through the live Zoom class or our self-study courses. Nothing about learning Reiki this way asks you to leave the city that has kept its cheese market on the Waagplein running since the seventeenth century.
In the live Zoom class you see your teacher, hear the other learners, and practice in real time from your own room in Alkmaar. Class times are posted on Michigan time, so check each listing against the clock in North Holland before you sign up for a session.
Alkmaar knows something about steady, repeated ritual. The cheese market on the Waagplein has been held since the seventeenth century, with carriers in colored straw hats moving the same way, week after week, because the pattern itself carries meaning.
Reiki asks for a similar kind of regular, unhurried attention. Learners in Alkmaar can bring that same patience to the live Zoom class, returning to simple hand positions and quiet breathing until they feel familiar, the way the cheese carriers on the Waagplein know their route by heart.
The 1573 siege of Alkmaar gave the Dutch a lasting saying: victory began at Alkmaar. It is a phrase about a first turning point, a place where something larger started, and it belongs to this city in a way it belongs to no other.
A first Reiki level is a small beginning of its own. For someone in Alkmaar, it can start with one live Zoom class or one self-study lesson, and Donna Lakes, who has been teaching since 1999, keeps that first step clear, practical and calm.
Whether you live in Overdie, in Oudorp, or near the Alkmaar canals and the tall Grote Sint-Laurenskerk, the self-study courses let you learn on your own schedule. You can read, practice and repeat a lesson as often as you like before moving on.
Many people pair the two formats: self-study for quiet evenings in Alkmaar, and the live Zoom class when they want questions answered and a group to practice with. Either way, the lessons stay grounded, warm and simple to follow.
