Bridgeport earned the nickname the Park City for its roughly 1,300 acres of public parks, and that fits a practice built on slowing down and paying attention. ASHA, the Ascension School of Healing Arts, brings Reiki and energy-healing classes to Bridgeport, Connecticut through live Zoom sessions, so you can learn from your own living room, a quiet corner of your apartment, or wherever you keep your calm.
Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999, and her live Zoom classes keep a warm, grounded pace. Connecticut's largest city has plenty of people who work long, varied days, so the online format lets a student in Bridgeport fit a class around the rest of life without a commute.
Bridgeport has always been a place that reinvents itself. P.T. Barnum lived here, served as mayor in 1871, built four homes in the city, and chose it as winter quarters for his circus. The city later became Connecticut's chief manufacturing center, home to Remington Arms, Singer, and General Electric, before deindustrialization hit hard in the 1970s and 1980s.
That story of rebuilding is a natural companion to energy work, which begins with noticing where you are right now and choosing your next small step. A student in Bridgeport might find that the steady, repeatable practice of Reiki self-care suits a city that knows how to start over.
Seaside Park, a waterfront park designed with input from Frederick Law Olmsted, is the kind of setting many people picture when they think of grounding and breathing. A Bridgeport student might finish a live Zoom class, then carry the same quiet attention outdoors to the water at the mouth of the Pequonnock River on Long Island Sound.
The city is also known for Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo, the Barnum Museum, and the Discovery Museum and Planetarium. Our self-study courses let you work through lessons at your own speed, which suits a household juggling the Barnum Festival, arena game nights, and everything else a busy Bridgeport calendar holds.
Live Zoom classes give you a teacher, questions answered in the moment, and other students learning alongside you. People in Bridgeport, Connecticut can join from anywhere in the city, whether they work in health care, study at the University of Bridgeport or Housatonic Community College, or keep a schedule shaped by shifts.
Self-study courses suit a student who wants to begin on a quiet evening and pause when life calls. Many people pair the two: a self-study course to build a daily habit, then a live Zoom class to practice with Donna Lakes and ask questions about what comes up.
