Online Reiki and Energy Healing Classes for Buffalo, New York

Reiki on Zoom for the City of Light

Buffalo earned the nickname City of Light because hydroelectric power from Niagara Falls made it one of the first American cities with widespread electric lighting. Reiki is a practice about energy too, and there is something fitting about people in Buffalo, New York learning it on a screen powered by that same long tradition of current running through the city.

The Ascension School of Healing Arts is based in Ferndale, Michigan, and anyone in Buffalo can join the live Zoom class from home. You see and hear your teacher in real time, ask questions as they come up, and practice hand positions alongside other learners in the same session.

Learning Through a Buffalo Winter

Buffalo is one of the snowiest big cities in the country due to lake-effect snow off Lake Erie, and a deep January storm is exactly when a live Zoom class makes the most sense. When the plows are out on your street, you can still log on from the kitchen table, a quiet bedroom, or the corner of the couch you like best.

For Buffalo learners who prefer a slower pace, ASHA also offers self-study courses. You can work through the lessons on a snowed-in weekend, pause when life gets busy, and return to the material whenever you are ready to pick it back up.

A Class for the City of Good Neighbors

Buffalo calls itself the City of Good Neighbors, a place shaped by waves of Irish, Italian, German, and Polish families who came to work in its steel and grain mills. That neighborly spirit carries well into a small online group, where people introduce themselves, share what they notice in practice, and encourage one another.

Buffalo residents have plenty on the calendar, from the Elmwood Avenue Festival of the Arts in August to Taste of Buffalo and the Allentown Art Festival, plus Bills and Sabres games all season. Joining by Zoom or choosing self-study lets you fit Reiki around the festivals, the tailgates, and the beef on weck.

Meet Your Teacher, Donna Lakes

Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999, and she brings a warm, grounded, practical style to every live Zoom class. She explains each idea plainly, demonstrates it on camera, and gives you time to try it yourself before moving on to the next part of the lesson.

Buffalo grew as the western terminus of the Erie Canal, a gateway between the Great Lakes and the East, so the idea of ideas moving across distance is part of the city's story. Today that connection is a video link, and people in the Queen City can join Donna's live Zoom class or begin a self-study course whenever they choose.
