Online Reiki and Energy Healing Classes for Annapolis, Maryland

Reiki from Home in Naptown

Annapolis is Maryland's small but intensely historic capital on the Chesapeake Bay. At only about 8 square miles, it is the smallest U.S. state capital by land area. People in Eastport, West Annapolis and the colonial downtown can join the live Zoom class from their own homes without leaving Naptown.

Our teacher, Donna Lakes, has been teaching since 1999. The live Zoom class keeps the practice personal: you see your classmates, ask questions as they come up, and practice hand positions with guidance on screen. Self-study courses sit alongside the live sessions for anyone who prefers to learn at their own pace.

A Quiet Practice for America's Sailing Capital

Annapolis is known as America's sailing capital. Each fall the U.S. Sailboat Show fills the waterfront as the largest in-water sailboat show in the world. Between boat show weekends, the Maryland Seafood Festival and the Annapolis Rotary Crab Feast, many Annapolitans keep full calendars, and a calm practice at home can be a welcome counterweight.

Reiki is a gentle, hands-on relaxation practice you can learn at home. Many people like to bring that steady attention outdoors, to a slow walk on the paved trails at Quiet Waters Park or to a quiet moment by Spa Creek at Truxtun Park.

Learning in a City of Old Houses and Long Memory

Few places carry history like Annapolis. The city has more standing 18th-century buildings than any other American city, including the Maryland State House, the oldest U.S. state capitol in continuous legislative use. Other examples are the 1774 Georgian Hammond-Harwood House and the William Paca House and Garden.

The Annapolis city motto, 'Vixi liber et moriar,' means 'I have lived, and I shall die, free.' Reiki practice asks for a similar kind of steadiness. The live Zoom class gives Annapolis learners room to slow down, breathe and pay attention without adding another commitment across town.

How Annapolis Learners Can Get Started

A Naval Academy family, a state government worker near State Circle and an Eastport boater can all join the same live Zoom class. The only things needed are a quiet room and a reliable internet connection.

Some live sessions may not fit around a Navy football Saturday or the legislative calendar. In that case, the self-study courses let you begin on your own schedule and join a live Zoom class later. Either way, you learn the same foundations, and you can reach out to ASHA with questions whenever you are ready.
