Dallas began as a trading post that John Neely Bryan founded on the Trinity River in 1841, and the city has kept a trader's habit of reaching outward ever since. The Ascension School of Healing Arts (ASHA) is based in Ferndale, Michigan, and it reaches Dallas through the live Zoom class, so people across Big D can learn Reiki from the city they already call home.
Whether home is Uptown Dallas, Deep Ellum or the Bishop Arts District, the live Zoom class opens the same way. A calm teacher, a small group, and time to practice hand positions and ask questions as they arise. You bring a quiet corner, a chair and an open mind, and the rest unfolds on screen.
Dallas has a long record of people tinkering until an idea works. Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit at Texas Instruments in Dallas in 1958, and Mariano Martinez invented the frozen margarita machine here in 1971 by adapting a soft-serve machine. That same curious, hands-on spirit suits Reiki, which is learned best by trying it, noticing what you feel and trying again.
ASHA's energy healing classes are practical rather than mysterious. You learn simple self-Reiki you can return to each day, along with ways to share a calm, attentive presence with friends and family. Self-study courses let Dallas learners repeat a lesson as often as they like before the next live Zoom class.
The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex hosts 23 Fortune 500 companies, with 11 inside Dallas city limits, and AT&T relocated its headquarters to downtown Dallas in 2008. Days in banking, private equity, telecommunications, defense and transportation can run long and loud. A live Zoom class from a home office, right after you log off from work, gives that busy Dallas energy somewhere gentle to settle.
When your calendar shifts from week to week, self-study courses carry the material for you. Work through a lesson on your own schedule, then join a live Zoom class when you want a teacher to answer questions or check your hand positions. Nothing about the format asks you to give up the pace the city runs on, only to pause inside it.
Dallas fills its calendar with color. The Dallas St. Patrick's Parade and Festival takes over Greenville Avenue in March, and the Dallas Pride Alan Ross Texas Freedom Parade arrives in June. The State Fair of Texas brings Big Tex, the 52-foot cowboy, back to Fair Park. Reiki makes a steady practice to return to between all that celebration, a few quiet minutes that belong only to you.
Dallas also values groups that gather to learn together. The Rotary Club of Dallas, founded April 20, 1911, was the first Rotary club in Texas, and the Dallas Jaycees remain active today. A live Zoom Reiki circle offers a smaller, quieter kind of gathering, led by Donna Lakes, who has been teaching since 1999.

Self-Study Courses Reiki Certification
Anyone in Dallas can join the live Zoom class from home or choose self-study courses that move at their own pace. Many learners use both, studying on their own and then joining the live Zoom class with questions.
Beginners are welcome. The classes start with the basics of self-Reiki and simple hand positions, so a curious newcomer in Uptown, Deep Ellum or Bishop Arts can follow along from the first session.
Classes are led by Donna Lakes of the Ascension School of Healing Arts, who has been teaching since 1999. She keeps the tone warm, grounded and practical.
