Online Reiki and Energy Healing Classes for New Castle, Delaware
Learn Reiki from New Castle, Delaware
New Castle is a small city on the Delaware River, built around a central green laid out in the Dutch and English colonial period. The Green is still in use today, and the street plan and buildings from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries remain largely intact. A town with that much preserved around it already knows something about slowing down and paying attention, which is a good frame of mind for learning Reiki.
The Ascension School of Healing Arts teaches live Zoom classes and self-study courses, so a person in New Castle can learn from a kitchen table or a quiet room near the historic district. Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999, and the classes are led live, with room for questions as you go.
A town that changed hands many times
The settlement began in 1651 as Fort Casimir, built by the Dutch West India Company. New Sweden took it in 1654 and called it Fort Trinity, the Dutch retook it in 1655 and named it Nieuw-Amstel, and in 1664 the English renamed it New Castle. In 1680 control passed to William Penn, and New Castle remained the seat of colonial government.
Few places have worn so many names and kept their center. That steadiness is something a Reiki student can borrow. Our beginner classes teach a simple daily self-practice, one you can return to again and again whatever else in your week is shifting.
Separation Day and a quiet daily practice
On June 15, 1776, the assembly of the three lower counties met in the New Castle Court House and adopted a resolution separating from the British crown and from Pennsylvania. The step is commemorated each June as Separation Day. The point of the courthouse cupola is also the center of the twelve-mile circle that forms Delaware's northern boundary.
A student in New Castle might build a short Reiki routine around dates like that, setting aside a few minutes each June to reflect and practice. Our self-study courses suit that kind of steady, self-paced rhythm, and the live Zoom classes add a teacher and a group when you want company.
House tours, museums and the riverfront
Each year on the third Saturday in May, A Day in Old New Castle opens house and garden tours, a tradition held since 1927. The Amstel House, the Read House and Garden, and the New Castle Court House Museum keep interpretive programs going through the year, and Battery Park gives the town a riverfront along the Delaware.
A student in New Castle might spend a morning at one of those places and an evening in a live Zoom class, letting the quiet of a historic house or the river walk set the tone for practice. Heritage work, courts and government offices fill many local days, and an evening class online fits around them.
