Reiki on Zoom for a Rural Corner of Metro Detroit

Lapeer County sits inside the six-county Detroit-Warren-Dearborn metro on paper, yet 85.9 percent of its 88,619 residents lived in rural areas at the 2020 census. Its people are spread across 663 square miles of countryside, and that is why ASHA offers its Reiki and energy healing teaching to Lapeer County through the live Zoom class and self-study courses.

Some students live near the county seat of Lapeer. Others are on a farm outside Imlay City or among the horse farms of Metamora. Wherever you are, the live Zoom class meets you where you already are. You log in, see your teacher and classmates, ask questions as they come up, and practice alongside the group in real time.

Named for the Stone in the Flint River

The county name comes from the French la pierre, 'the stone,' after the stones in the Flint River. English speakers heard the phrase and wrote down 'Lapeer.' The river's headwaters form at Columbiaville, where the north and south branches converge to begin a 78.3-mile river draining 1,332 square miles across seven counties.

Many Reiki students find that a steady, grounded image helps them settle into practice. A river stone is a fitting one for Lapeer County, a place named after one. In the live Zoom class we spend time on simple grounding and breath before practice, so each Lapeer County student can begin the session feeling calm and present.

Learning Alongside Lapeer County's Long Memory

Lapeer County keeps its history close. The Lapeer County Courthouse is a Greek Revival building finished in 1846, and it is the oldest original courthouse still in use in Michigan. The county also maintains fifteen historical markers, from the Columbiaville brick railroad depot to the William Peter Mansion. Around Metamora, the Metamora Hunt still rides out with horses and hounds each autumn, a tradition rooted in the 1920s.

That respect for tradition fits how ASHA teaches. ASHA teacher Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999. Our classes pass Reiki along the way it has long been shared, from teacher to student, with time for questions and steady practice. Self-study courses let you review the material at your own pace between sessions.

Zoom Classes and Self-Study That Fit Lapeer County Life

Lapeer County residents work in automotive supply, food processing and agriculture. The Vlasic pickle plant in Imlay City has been running since 1957, and farms have anchored the countryside since the timber ran out around 1870. The county's median age is 44.4, and many households here juggle work schedules and family life, so flexible learning matters.

The live Zoom class gives you a set time to learn with a group. Self-study courses let you move through lessons whenever your week allows, whether that is early morning in Almont or a quiet evening near the Metamora-Hadley Recreation Area. Many Lapeer County students combine both, joining the live session and then returning to the self-study material to deepen their practice.
