Online Reiki and Energy Healing Classes for Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
Reiki for the capital city on the Susquehanna
Harrisburg sits on the east bank of the Susquehanna River and serves as the capital of Pennsylvania, home to the state legislature and courts. For people in a city where state government is the anchor employer, a calm practice that fits around a full workday can be welcome. ASHA brings its Reiki and energy healing classes to Harrisburg through the live Zoom class, so you can learn from your own chair at home.
The Ascension School of Healing Arts is based in Ferndale, Michigan, and our lead teacher, Donna Lakes, has been teaching since 1999. In the live Zoom class you can ask questions, practice alongside others and hear guidance in real time. Our self-study courses let you return to each lesson at your own pace whenever your week allows.
From Harris's Ferry to a steady practice
Harrisburg began around 1715 to 1718, when John Harris Sr. settled at an easy Susquehanna River crossing and ran a trading post and ferry known as Harris's Ferry. His son John Harris Jr. laid out the town in 1785, it was briefly called Louisbourg, and the name returned to Harrisburg in 1791. In 1812 it succeeded Philadelphia as the state capital, chosen largely for its central place on the river.
A town built around a reliable river crossing is a fitting image for what many people want from Reiki: a steady, dependable point to return to. In our classes you learn simple hand positions, breath and quiet attention that you can come back to day after day. People in Harrisburg can join the live Zoom class or begin with a self-study course and build the habit slowly.
Parks, markets and the rhythm of a Harrisburg year
Harrisburg historically had more parks per square mile than any other city in America, with roughly 1,100 acres devoted to parks. The Broad Street Market in Midtown, opened in 1863, is one of the oldest continuously operating farmers markets in the country. Each January the Pennsylvania Farm Show fills the Farm Show Complex as the largest indoor agricultural exposition in the United States.
A city with that much green space and that long a market tradition already knows the value of slowing down. Our self-study courses fit around a Saturday at Broad Street Market or a busy Farm Show week, and the lessons wait for you when you are ready. Many people like to pair a short Reiki practice with time outdoors in one of Harrisburg's parks.
Kipona, sparkling water and quiet attention
Every Labor Day weekend Harrisburg celebrates the Susquehanna with Kipona, held at Riverfront Park and City Island, an event that dates to 1916. Its name means 'on sparkling water' in a local Native American tongue. Above the city stands the Pennsylvania State Capitol, completed in 1906, whose dome was inspired by Michelangelo's design for St. Peter's Basilica.
Reiki practice asks for the kind of soft, open attention you might give to light moving across a river. In the live Zoom class Donna Lakes guides you step by step, and you can practice the same exercises on your own afterward. Whether you live near the Capitol or along the riverfront parks, you can join from home and learn at a pace that suits you.
