Oklahoma City sprang up in a single afternoon during the land run of April 22, 1889, when the townsite grew to over 10,000 people within hours of the noon starting gun. That spirit of starting something new in one day fits a first Reiki lesson well. A person in OKC who has been curious about Reiki can begin by joining the live Zoom class from the Ascension School of Healing Arts, or by opening one of our self-study courses whenever the moment feels right.
Aggressive annexation in the 1950s and 60s spread Oklahoma City across roughly 600 square miles, making it one of the largest U.S. cities by land area. Wherever you live within that wide city, the live Zoom class comes to your screen, whether your home sits close to Scissortail Park downtown or out on the far edges of town. All you need is a device with Zoom and a quiet corner.
Tinker Air Force Base is the largest single-site employer in Oklahoma, with more than 24,000 military and civilian workers, and Oklahoma City is also a major center of state government work alongside the FAA's Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center. Add headquarters such as Devon Energy, Chesapeake Energy, Hobby Lobby and Paycom, and many OKC calendars are full and irregular. A student in Oklahoma City might work rotating shifts at Tinker, lean on a self-study course during a busy week, and then join the live Zoom class when the schedule opens up.
Self-study lessons let you return to a hand position or a practice as often as you like, at your own pace. The live Zoom class is guided by Donna Lakes, who has been teaching since 1999, so questions can be asked and answered in real time. Using both together gives you steady practice on your own and a warm, live group to learn alongside.
Oklahoma City is nicknamed The Big Friendly, and that warm, welcoming tone is exactly how we like to teach. A student in Oklahoma City might cheer on the Thunder, who won their first Oklahoma City championship in 2025 by beating the Indiana Pacers in seven games, or enjoy a plate of chicken-fried steak from Cattlemen's Steakhouse in Stockyards City, and then settle in at home for a few quiet minutes of Reiki self-practice.
The Western and cowboy heritage celebrated at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum and in the saddle shops and hatteries of Stockyards City carries a deep respect for steady, practical skill learned by doing. Reiki is learned in a similar way: you practice simple hand positions again and again until they feel natural, and the live Zoom class gives you a place to practice with gentle guidance.
The Sooner name, later embraced by the state and the University of Oklahoma, first described settlers who slipped across the line to claim land before the official start of the run. Getting an early start is welcome here: a person in Oklahoma City can open a self-study course right away and build a little familiarity before the next live Zoom class begins.
Reach out to ask about upcoming live Zoom class dates and which self-study course fits where you are right now. People across Oklahoma City, from Bricktown with its restored early 20th century warehouses to the neighborhoods near the Oklahoma State Capitol, can join from home and learn Reiki at a pace that suits their own lives.
