Columbus, Georgia sits along the Chattahoochee River at the Alabama line, and it has always been a city shaped by moving water. It began in 1828 near Coweta Falls on the site of a former Creek Indian village, and it later grew into one of the South's earliest and largest textile mill towns by putting the river's waterpower to work.
Today that same river runs as a 2.5-mile continuous urban whitewater course through downtown Columbus, after the Eagle & Phenix and City Mills dams were removed in 2012 and 2013. If you live in the River City and want a calmer counterpart to all that rushing water, the live Zoom class from ASHA gives you a steady stretch of time to sit, breathe and learn Reiki from home.
Fort Moore, formerly Fort Benning and home of the U.S. Army Infantry and Armor Schools, remains a dominant economic and cultural force just outside Columbus. Military life often brings early mornings, changing routines and new orders, so learning online can make good sense for Columbus households connected to the post.
People in Columbus can join the live Zoom class from a kitchen table or a quiet corner of the house, with real-time guidance and room to ask questions. The self-study courses stay with you wherever you live, so if your family relocates, your Reiki practice does not have to start over.
Columbus was once a cotton and textile powerhouse anchored by the Eagle & Phenix Mill, and the textile industry declined sharply there in the 1990s. Business leaders had already begun diversifying the economy in the 1960s, and Columbus is now the corporate headquarters city for Aflac, Synovus and TSYS.
If your workdays in Columbus run on office deadlines, the self-study courses let you learn Reiki basics at your own pace in the evening or on a weekend. When you want a teacher's voice and a group to practice with, the live Zoom class is there, led by Donna Lakes, who has been teaching since 1999.
Columbus is the birthplace of Gertrude 'Ma' Rainey, the 'Mother of the Blues,' and of novelist Carson McCullers. Its Springer Opera House, built in 1871, is one of only about seven U.S. theaters designated a National Historic Landmark, and the Fountain City nickname comes from the decorative fountains installed around town in the early 20th century.
Reiki is a simple practice of attention, breath and calm, and it sits comfortably in a city that has kept its fountains, its opera house and its roughly 15-mile Chattahoochee RiverWalk. Whether you start with a self-study course or join the live Zoom class, ASHA welcomes people from Columbus who are curious about energy healing.
