Pennsylvania is the one state among the original thirteen colonies that does not touch the Atlantic Ocean, and its people live across a wide stretch of the country, from Philadelphia, the largest city, to Harrisburg, the capital, to the Pittsburgh area in the west. The Ascension School of Healing Arts reaches Keystone State students right where they already are, through the live Zoom class and a set of self-study courses.
A live Zoom class lets you learn Reiki in real time with a teacher and a small circle of fellow students. You ask questions as they come up, watch each step shown clearly on screen, and practice alongside everyone else. Whether you log in from Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh or anywhere else in Pennsylvania, you join the same lesson as every other student in the class.
The name Pennsylvania means Penn's woods, and the government William Penn set up introduced freedom of religion, an idea later copied across the thirteen colonies. In that same spirit, Reiki at ASHA is taught as a quiet, personal practice of attention and gentle touch that sits comfortably alongside whatever beliefs a student brings to the live Zoom class.
Penn also signed a peace treaty with Tamanend of the Lenape, and the Treaty of Shackamaxon is recorded as never violated. Keeping your word is a good picture of how our classes run: we start on time, we listen to one another, and we treat no question as too small. Students from every corner of the state are welcome to learn at a steady, respectful pace.
Each live Zoom class follows a clear, practical plan. The teacher explains the idea behind a step, shows the hand positions on camera, and then gives you time to practice on yourself while everyone follows along. You can keep your camera on for feedback, and there is open time for questions so nothing is left unclear before the class ends.
ASHA teacher Donna Lakes, teaching since 1999, brings a warm and grounded style to every lesson. She keeps the focus on simple, repeatable practice you can carry into your own daily routine, so Pennsylvania students finish each live Zoom class knowing exactly what to work on next and how to keep it going on their own.
Not everyone can join a class at a set time, so ASHA also offers self-study courses. These let you learn Reiki at your own pace, pausing and replaying lessons whenever you need. They suit students across Pennsylvania who balance work, family and other commitments and want a steady way to keep learning between other parts of the week.
Many students combine both formats, using the self-study courses to prepare and review and the live Zoom class for real-time guidance and questions. Whichever you choose, you learn from the same Ferndale, Michigan school with the same practical approach, and you can move from one format to the other as your schedule in Pennsylvania changes.
