Honolulu is the most remote major city in the United States, so a school based in Ferndale, Michigan only makes sense for you if it comes to you. ASHA does that through live Zoom classes. You join from your own home on Oahu, and you learn with a teacher who answers questions as they come up, not through a recording alone.
Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999, and the live Zoom class is where that teaching happens. People in Honolulu can join a class without leaving the island or planning around a flight, which matters in a city that sits so far from the nearest mainland.
Honolulu runs on tourism, the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, and the corporate offices of banks, an airline and a shipping company. That mix means schedules vary a great deal from one household to the next. Self-study courses let you work through Reiki material when it suits you, whether your week is shaped by Waikiki, the harbor or a downtown office.
You can pair a self-study course with a live Zoom class, or begin with one and add the other later. Either way, the material is yours to return to, which helps in a city where plans often change with the season and the visitors.
Oahu is nicknamed the gathering place, and Honolulu lives up to it. The Rotary Club of Honolulu was chartered in 1915, VFW Post 1540 was mustered in 1928, and the Honolulu Chinese Jaycees date to 1953. People who belong to groups like these already know the value of showing up together, and a live Zoom class carries that same spirit to a screen.
A student in Honolulu might find the group setting of a Zoom class familiar, because it is a shared hour with a teacher and other learners, with room to ask, listen and practice. Honolulu is also one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the country, and a class that welcomes many backgrounds suits it well.
Honolulu means sheltered harbor, and that name suits what many people want from a regular energy practice: a steady, quiet place to return to. Reiki is a gentle hands-on practice of relaxation and attention, and learning it at home gives you a calm corner away from the bustle of Waikiki and downtown.
The city offers plenty to draw on for a pause between sessions. A student in Honolulu might step outside after class and look toward Diamond Head, stop by Bishop Museum on another day, or share a plate lunch or spam musubi while talking over what came up. The practice stays simple and fits around the life you already have.
