Reiki study for the Capital City, by Zoom

Charleston sits where the Elk River meets the Kanawha River, and anyone living among those folded Appalachian hills can join an ASHA live Zoom class from home. The Ascension School of Healing Arts is based in Ferndale, Michigan, but your Charleston, West Virginia kitchen table works just as well as a classroom.

A student in Charleston might begin with a self-study course on a quiet evening, then join a live Zoom class when they want to practice alongside others. Both paths are open to people in the Capital City, and neither asks you to leave the neighborhood you know.

A quiet practice beneath a gold dome

The gold-leaf dome of the West Virginia State Capitol rises about 292 feet, a few feet taller than the dome of the U.S. Capitol, and it is the landmark most people picture when they hear Charleston. Reiki practice is the opposite kind of landmark: gentle attention, slow breathing, and hands resting still.

A student in Charleston might use a live Zoom class to practice that stillness after a day spent near the statehouse the Cass Gilbert design gave the city in 1932. Our Zoom classes give that kind of evening a steady shape without any commute.

Fitting study around Chemical Valley work life

The Kanawha Valley around Charleston is known as Chemical Valley, and state government and Appalachian Power keep the city's working rhythms fairly steady. Self-study courses suit that kind of schedule, because you can open a lesson when your own day allows and put it down again without losing your place.

When you want company, the live Zoom class with Donna Lakes, who has been teaching since 1999, brings Reiki students together on screen. A person in Charleston can ask questions, practice with a partner on camera, and then return to the self-study material at their own pace.

Festival season, Mountain Stage and slow evenings

Each June, Festivall Charleston fills the city with a multi-day arts festival, complete with the Rolls on the River pepperoni-roll competition. Mountain Stage has been produced in Charleston since 1983, so live music and live gatherings are part of how this city spends its evenings.

A student in Charleston might balance a busy summer of Dirty Birds games, the Sternwheel Regatta and Vandalia Gathering with a calmer hour on Zoom. After a biscuit from Tudor's Biscuit World, which opened its first location here in 1980, a grounded Reiki practice makes a nice counterweight.
