Gulfport began in 1887, when William H. Hardy founded it as the terminus of the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad. It grew from a railroad man's plan to ship lumber, not from a natural harbor town. The Ascension School of Healing Arts brings its Reiki and energy healing classes to Gulfport by live Zoom, so you can learn from your own home on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Each live Zoom class is taught in real time, and you can ask questions and practice along with the group. Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999. If a live session does not fit your week, the self-study courses let you work through the same ideas at your own pace.
Gulfport has rebuilt after Hurricane Camille in 1969 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Camille drove a storm surge of about 21 feet and nearly destroyed the port, and Katrina's surge of at least 19 feet damaged or destroyed about 9,571 houses. People here know what it means to start over, and many value a steady, quiet routine.
A student in Gulfport might use Reiki self-practice as a few unhurried minutes at the start or end of the day. Our online classes teach the basics of that practice step by step. You do not need any special space, only a quiet chair and a good connection for the Zoom class.
Gulfport's largest employers include Memorial Hospital at Gulfport, with roughly 4,953 workers, and the Naval Construction Battalion Center, home of the Navy Seabees, with around 4,876. The Island View Casino employs roughly 1,976 people, and the Port of Gulfport is a busy banana and container gateway. Work in this city often runs on shifts and port schedules, which is why online learning suits it.
A student in Gulfport who works around a ship's arrival or a changing roster might choose a self-study course and join a live Zoom class when the week allows. Both paths teach the same Reiki foundations. Neither asks you to leave home, so a long shift does not have to cost you a class.
February in Gulfport fills up with Mardi Gras season, including the Krewe of Gemini Day Parade, the Second Street Social Club parade and Chandy Gras, the Chandeleur Island Brewing party. Then summer brings the Mississippi Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo to Jones Park during the July 4th week, as it has since about 1948. A busy local calendar is a good reason to learn on your own schedule.
A student in Gulfport might pick a self-study course when parade season is full and a live Zoom class when the calendar is quieter. Reiki also pairs naturally with the city's 6.7 miles of white sand beach, which is largely man-made sand placed behind a seawall. A calm moment of practice after a walk by the Mississippi Sound is one simple way to use what you learn.

The self-study courses are made for that. You can work through the material at your own pace and join a live Zoom class later, when your schedule around the port, the base, the casinos or the hospital allows.
