Milwaukee earned the name Cream City from its buildings, not its dairy. Local clay from the Menomonee Valley was fired into distinctive pale-yellow bricks starting around 1835, and those bricks still give the old brewery districts their warm color. ASHA approaches Reiki practice in a similar spirit: simple, steady pieces laid down one at a time until they hold. People in Milwaukee can join the live Zoom class from home, or start with a self-study course at their own pace.
The Ascension School of Healing Arts is based in Ferndale, Michigan, and Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999. Every live Zoom class is taught by a real teacher in real time, with room for questions, guided self-practice, and quiet moments shared with classmates. Wherever you log in, you are part of the same group.
Milwaukee calls itself the City of Festivals, and its summers prove it. Summerfest, billed as one of the world's largest music festivals, fills the Lake Michigan lakefront, while German Fest, Irish Fest and Bastille Days keep the calendar packed. After a loud, joyful weekend by the lake, a Reiki practice offers something different: stillness, slow breathing, and attention to your own energy.
The live Zoom class fits around that busy season. You can log in from a Milwaukee kitchen table or porch, practice alongside a small group, and simply close the laptop when the session ends. On weeks when the festival schedule wins, our self-study courses let you keep learning whenever you have a free evening.
Milwaukee understands ritual. The Friday fish fry, served with potato pancakes, coleslaw and rye bread, grew from Catholic meatless Fridays and the region's abundant freshwater fish. Leon's Frozen Custard opened in 1942, and Usinger's has been making sausage since 1880. Habits like these last in Milwaukee because people return to them week after week.
Reiki practice grows the same way. A short daily self-practice, repeated with care, can become part of the week as naturally as Friday supper. Our self-study courses give Milwaukee learners steady lessons to come back to, and the live Zoom class adds a teacher, classmates, and a regular time to practice together.
Milwaukee built itself on making things: machinery, tanning, brewing and motorcycles, with Harley-Davidson born in the city in 1903. The metro still ranks second among major metros in the share of its workforce in manufacturing. People who work with their hands often appreciate a practice taught step by step, with clear hand positions and plain, practical language, and that is how ASHA teaches.
Milwaukee also has a long civic streak, from the Rotary Club of Milwaukee (Club 2744) to American Legion Post 18 and the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce. If you belong to a group in Milwaukee and want to learn Reiki with friends, people from your circle can join the live Zoom class together and compare notes afterward.
