Colorado earned its nickname, the Centennial State, because it was admitted as the 38th state on August 1, 1876, just four weeks after the centennial of the United States. Students across that wide, high country can now join the live Zoom class from the Ascension School of Healing Arts without leaving home.
From Denver, the capital and largest city, to the far southwest corner where Colorado shares the Four Corners with Arizona, New Mexico and Utah, every student sees the same teacher and hears the same instruction on screen. Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999, and she keeps the live Zoom class warm, unhurried and practical.
Colorado includes most of the Southern Rocky Mountains, the northeastern Colorado Plateau and the western edge of the Great Plains. That means a single live Zoom class can bring together a student on the eastern plains, another in a mountain valley and a third along the Front Range.
Colorado covers 104,185 square miles and is the eighth-largest of the states, so learning online simply makes sense here. The self-study courses let you work through the material at your own pace, and the live Zoom class gives you a set time to practice with others and ask questions.
Celestial Seasonings has made herbal teas in Boulder since 1969, and plenty of Colorado students like to settle in with a warm cup before the live Zoom class begins. Reiki practice asks for that same kind of calm attention: your hands, your breath and a few quiet minutes.
With 42 state parks and 11 national forests, Colorado offers many open places to sit quietly with what you learned in class. Many students keep a short self-practice routine at home and bring their notes and questions back to the next live session.
Choose the live Zoom class if you like learning with a group and a teacher who can answer you in real time. Choose a self-study course if your weeks in Colorado are busy and hard to predict. Both formats cover the same grounded foundations that ASHA teaches from its home base in Ferndale, Michigan.
Colorado has a long habit of firsts. In 1893 it became the first state to grant women the vote by popular vote. We welcome first-time Reiki students from every corner of the state, whether you are curious about Reiki for yourself or want a steady personal practice. Reach out to ASHA to ask which class or course fits you.

The live Zoom class meets with a teacher and a group, so you can practice together and ask questions in real time. A self-study course lets Colorado students move through the material at their own pace.
