Dublin carries many names, from the Fair City of the Molly Malone ballad to Baile Átha Cliath, the Irish name meaning 'town of the hurdled ford'. Its English name comes from Dubh Linn, the 'black pool' on the Liffey where Vikings set up a fortified base in 841. People across Ireland's capital can now join the Ascension School of Healing Arts in the live Zoom class or through our self-study courses, without leaving the city they know.
ASHA is a Reiki and energy healing school based in Ferndale, Michigan, and Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999. The live Zoom class lets a learner in Dublin sit at their own kitchen table, see the teacher, ask questions as they come up and practise alongside the rest of the group.
Dublin is a city of full working weeks for many, with European headquarters for Google, Meta, LinkedIn and TikTok in the former docklands known as Silicon Docks, and the International Financial Services Centre serving as a major banking and funds hub. If your days are full of screens and deadlines, a Reiki class you join from home can be a calm, practical way to close the laptop and turn your attention inward for a while.
Our self-study courses suit Dubliners whose schedules shift from week to week. You can work through the material at your own pace, revisit a lesson before a busy morning at the office, and return to the live Zoom class whenever it fits around the rest of your life in the city.
As a UNESCO City of Literature, Dublin has long honoured close attention, from James Joyce and Samuel Beckett to W.B. Yeats and George Bernard Shaw. Every year on 16 June, Bloomsday celebrates Ulysses, set in the city on that date in 1904. Reiki shares something with that habit of noticing: the breath, the hands and the small details of a single moment.
Many people in Dublin already know the value of stepping away from the noise, often in Phoenix Park, where 707 hectares hold Dublin Zoo and a herd of wild fallow deer. The self-study courses and the live Zoom class give you simple practices you can carry into those quieter places, or use at home after a match at Croke Park or an evening in Temple Bar.
Dublin has a strong tradition of people gathering to learn and serve. The Rotary Club of Dublin, founded on 22 February 1911, was the first Rotary club outside North America, and Dublin Chamber, founded in 1783, is the largest chamber in Ireland. A live Zoom class keeps that sense of a shared group, even when each person joins from their own room.
Whether you live near the Ha'penny Bridge, work along O'Connell Street beneath the Spire, or simply call Ireland's capital home, you can join ASHA online. Start with a self-study course, then join the live Zoom class when you feel ready to practise Reiki with others.
