Reiki Classes for the Lake City, Live on Zoom

Coeur d'Alene sits on the northern shore of its namesake lake in the Idaho panhandle, and people there can join the Ascension School of Healing Arts through the live Zoom class or our self-study courses. You stay at home in the Lake City, and the class meets on your screen, with real conversation and time for questions.

Coeur d'Alene calls itself the City with a Heart, a motto that fits a practice built on calm attention and kind hands. ASHA teaches from Ferndale, Michigan, and Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999. A student in Coeur d'Alene might log in after a day on Sherman Avenue and settle into a steady, grounded hour of learning.

A Place Name With a Long Story

The city takes its name from the Coeur d'Alene (Schitsu'umsh) people, whom French-speaking fur traders called "heart of an awl" for their reputation as shrewd traders. In 1878 General William Tecumseh Sherman established Fort Coeur d'Alene on the lake's north shore, later renamed Fort Sherman, and a village grew up alongside it.

Coeur d'Alene was incorporated as a city on September 4, 1906, and became the Kootenai County seat in 1908, after mining strikes and a white-pine timber boom reshaped the area. A student in Coeur d'Alene might find that this deep sense of place gives a quiet Reiki practice something solid to rest on, one breath and one session at a time.

Practice That Fits the Seasons Around the Lake

Tourism has led the Coeur d'Alene economy since the 1940s, and the hospitality sector anchored by the Coeur d'Alene Resort employed more than 10,000 people across North Idaho as of 2010. For anyone working the busy summer around Art on the Green, which draws roughly 60,000 people the first weekend of August, self-study courses let you learn at your own pace.

Winter brings its own rhythm to Coeur d'Alene, from the resort's holiday light show of more than 1.5 million bulbs to the New Year's Day Polar Bear Plunge into the lake. From November to February, bald eagles gather at Wolf Lodge Bay to feed on spawning kokanee salmon, and a student in Coeur d'Alene might pair those slower months with the live Zoom class.

Quiet Corners of Coeur d'Alene for Practice

Tubbs Hill is a 165-acre natural area with hiking trails right in downtown Coeur d'Alene, a fine spot for a few minutes of stillness before or after a lesson. McEuen Park, the downtown waterfront park reopened in 2014, and the adjacent City Park and beach offer more open space by the water.

Lake Coeur d'Alene runs roughly 25 miles long, fed by the Coeur d'Alene and Saint Joe rivers, and its shoreline is part of daily life in town. A student in Coeur d'Alene might practice a short self-session at home, then carry that calm out to the lake, the trails of Tubbs Hill, or a simple lunch at Hudson's Hamburgers, serving since 1907.
