Reiki Learning for Ohio's Capital City

Columbus is Ohio's capital and largest city, founded on February 14, 1812, where the Scioto and Olentangy rivers meet. People here can join the Ascension School of Healing Arts through the live Zoom class or a self-study course. That makes learning Reiki a good fit for a city that grew from a planned capital into a center for finance, insurance, research and education.

ASHA is based in Ferndale, Michigan, and Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999. Every lesson for Columbus learners happens online. Someone in Clintonville can take part from a quiet room at home, and someone in a brick house in German Village can follow along from a favorite chair.

A City of Neighborhoods, One Shared Zoom Room

Columbus is often called a city of neighborhoods, and its districts feel very different from one another. German Village is a historic brick-street district south of downtown settled by German immigrants. The Short North runs along High Street between downtown and the university, and Clintonville is an established residential neighborhood on the north side.

The live Zoom class gathers people from all of those places on one screen. You can ask questions as they come up and practice alongside classmates. You will also hear how others are bringing Reiki into ordinary days, whether those days revolve around Ohio State, an office downtown, or a home near Goodale Park.

Quiet Practice in a Busy, Curious City

Columbus has a long habit of curiosity. It hosts research organizations such as Battelle Memorial Institute and the Chemical Abstracts Service, and the Ohio State University brings one of the largest student enrollments of any American university to the city. For students, researchers and staff with packed calendars, a self-study course lets Reiki practice move at a steady, personal pace.

Many people in Columbus find calm outdoors, on the Scioto Mile riverfront promenade, among the plants of Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, or along trails in the Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks. Reiki offers a gentle way to bring that settled feeling back indoors with a few quiet moments of hands-on practice at the end of a full day.

From Cowtown to Arch City, Learning at Your Own Pace

The Cowtown nickname traces to the early 20th century Hartman Stock Farm, and Arch City recalls the wooden and later metal arches built over downtown streets in the 1890s. Columbus has kept a friendly, unpretentious identity through all of that growth. ASHA aims for the same feel, with warm, grounded and practical teaching and no fuss.

You might plan your autumn around Ohio State Buckeyes football, or you might never miss the monthly gallery hop in the Short North. Either way, you can choose the format that suits you. Join the live Zoom class for real time guidance from Donna Lakes, or start a self-study course and return to the lessons whenever your week allows.
