Anchorage began as a muddy tent city near the mouth of Ship Creek in 1915, when work on the Alaska Railroad started, and it was incorporated as a city in November 1920. It grew into a place where moose regularly roam city streets and yards and the Chugach Mountains rise behind the skyline. That mix of wild ground and busy streets makes quiet, steady attention feel especially welcome.
People in Anchorage can join the Ascension School of Healing Arts through the live Zoom class or through our self-study courses. A student in Anchorage might finish a walk on the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail along Cook Inlet, then settle in at home for a session of Reiki practice with a teacher and a small online group.
Anchorage covers about 1,700 square miles of land, one of the largest U.S. cities by area, so a class that arrives on your own screen fits the place well. Whether you live near Ship Creek, close to Far North Bicentennial Park, or out toward Chugach State Park, the live Zoom class is the same room for everyone.
In the live Zoom class you learn alongside others, ask questions as they come up, and hear the instructor guide each step. A student in Anchorage might keep a notebook by the laptop and return to it during the long winter evenings that lead up to Fur Rondy.
Anchorage is a working city: roughly one-third federal spending, one-third oil, and the rest split among commercial fishing, tourism and other industries, with Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson home to more than 29,000 people. Shifts, deployments and fishing seasons do not always line up with a fixed class time, which is where self-study courses help.
Self-study courses let you move through the material at your own pace and repeat any lesson. A student in Anchorage might work through a module in the quiet weeks after the Iditarod ceremonial start on Fourth Avenue, then join the live Zoom class later to practice with a group.
Anchorage has many nicknames, from the City of Lights and Flowers to the Hanging Basket Capital of the World, and the Air Crossroads of the World, thanks to Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport and its global cargo traffic. A city so connected to the wider world is a natural fit for online learning that reaches across distance.
ASHA founder Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999, and her approach is warm, grounded and practical. People in Anchorage can join an upcoming live Zoom class or start a self-study course whenever the season and their schedule allow.
