Reiki from home in the People's Republic of Boulder

Boulder, Colorado has a reputation for doing things its own way, an independent streak that earned it the nickname the People's Republic of Boulder. People there who are curious about Reiki can join the live Zoom class from the Ascension School of Healing Arts without leaving the city, whether home sits below the Flatirons or closer to the Pearl Street Mall.

Our school is based in Ferndale, Michigan, and Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999. The live Zoom class brings that teaching into a Boulder living room or a quiet corner of an apartment near the University of Colorado Boulder, and the self-study courses let you go over each lesson again whenever you like.

A city built around wellness and contained by its own limits

Boulder sits at roughly 5,320 to 5,430 feet, and its 1959 Blue Line and 1976 growth ordinance kept the city compact against the foothills. Local lore jokes that Boulder is twenty-five square miles surrounded by reality, and that sense of a small, intentional place suits a practice that asks you to slow down and pay attention.

Wellness and environmental values run through daily life in Boulder, from farm-to-table dining to the first voter-approved carbon tax in the country, passed in 2007. A Reiki practice you can keep at home fits easily alongside that outlook, with the live Zoom class and the self-study courses giving you a steady rhythm to return to.

Quiet practice for a busy college and science town

The University of Colorado Boulder is the city's largest employer and enrolls roughly 30,000 undergraduates, while NCAR, NOAA, NIST, JILA and LASP fill Boulder with researchers. Long days in a lab or a lecture hall can leave little room for stillness, and a live Zoom class gives Boulder students and scientists a calm stretch of hands-on practice at home.

Boulder also has a long contemplative thread. Naropa University, a Buddhist-inspired school where poet Allen Ginsberg taught, is part of the city's character. People in Boulder who already sit in meditation often find Reiki a natural companion, and the self-study courses let them learn at their own pace.

From the Bolder Boulder to the Mint Room, then home to practice

Every Memorial Day since 1979, the Bolder Boulder 10K draws more than 50,000 participants through the city, and plenty of people in Boulder spend weekends on the trails at Chautauqua Park beneath the Flatirons. Reiki offers a gentle counterpoint to all that motion, a way to settle in after a long run or a climb in the foothills.

Boulder knows how to savor a quiet moment, too, from the aromatic Mint Room at Celestial Seasonings to a slow evening on the Pearl Street Mall, closed to cars since 1977. Our self-study courses and the live Zoom class carry that same unhurried spirit into Reiki practice for anyone in Boulder, Colorado who wants to begin.
