Minot began in 1886 as a tent town that seemed to appear overnight while James J. Hill's Great Northern Railway was under construction, and people have called it the Magic City ever since. Our Reiki classes reach Minot in a similarly simple way: you join a live Zoom class from your own kitchen table or spare room, with nothing to set up beyond a screen and a quiet corner.
The Ascension School of Healing Arts is based in Ferndale, Michigan, and teaches live online by Zoom as well as through self-study courses. Anyone in Minot can join either format, and Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999. You learn the same hands-on and hands-near Reiki basics whether you sit down with the group or work through a course alone.
The Souris, or Mouse, River loops through Minot, and the 2011 flood damaged more than 4,100 homes. The Roosevelt Park Zoo sat under 8 to 12 feet of water for nearly three weeks, and staff evacuated more than 150 animals over 36 hours with help from zoos nationwide. That story of neighbors and strangers showing up for one another is part of how Minot understands itself.
A student in Minot might find that history a fitting backdrop for learning Reiki, a gentle practice built on steady attention and care. Our live Zoom class gives you a group to practice with, and the self-study courses let you go back over a lesson as often as you like, at a pace that suits a household still shaped by rebuilding.
Minot Air Force Base, home to the 5th Bomb Wing and the 91st Missile Wing, is the largest economic factor in the city, and Bakken oil and energy activity brought a population and construction boom. A student in Minot might be on rotating shifts, married to someone on duty, or working long energy-field days, so a fixed weekly routine is not always realistic.
That is where having both formats helps. The live Zoom class suits someone who wants a group and a teacher in real time, while the self-study courses suit someone whose week changes often. Healthcare, education, and retail workers serving Minot's large regional trade area, including Canadian shoppers, can choose the same way.
Nearly 40% of Minot's residents claim Scandinavian ancestry, Norsk Hostfest has been held here since 1977, and Scandinavian Heritage Park holds a Gol stave church replica. A student in Minot might enjoy tying a quiet Reiki routine to that sense of heritage, such as a short home practice on the same evening each week after a day of family obligations.
Minot also hosts the North Dakota State Fair, with rodeos, carnival rides, and headline concerts, and it is North Dakota's fourth-largest city. Busy seasons like that are a good reason to learn online: you can join a live Zoom class or open a self-study course from home, then settle into a slower evening on your own terms.
