Online Reiki and Energy Healing Classes for Portugal
Reiki Classes for Students in Portugal, Live on Zoom
The Ascension School of Healing Arts is a Reiki and energy healing school based in Ferndale, Michigan, and students in Portugal join us through the live Zoom class or through our self-study courses. Whether you live near Loulé, Torres Vedras or Funchal on Madeira, your lessons come to you at home, at the kitchen table or in a quiet corner you set aside for practice.
In the live Zoom class you see and hear your teacher, ask questions as they come up, and practice alongside other students who are learning the same material. The aim is simple and practical: to give you a clear, steady grounding in Reiki that you can carry into your daily life in Portugal.
Planning Your Reiki Study Around the Portuguese Calendar
A good study plan fits the year you actually live. In 2026, Portugal marks Carnaval on February 17, Dia da Liberdade on April 25, Dia de Portugal, de Camões e das Comunidades Portuguesas on June 10, and Natal on December 25. Looking at these dates before you enroll helps you choose a live Zoom class schedule that leaves room for family, rest and celebration.
Festival season matters too. The Carnival of Torres Vedras and the Loulé Carnival both fall in February or March before Lent, the Funchal (Madeira) Carnival runs for around two weeks in February, and the Madeira Flower Festival, the Festa da Flor, arrives in spring, in April or May. If a busy stretch pulls you away, a self-study course lets you pause and pick up again when life settles.
Self-Study Courses That Move at Your Pace
Not every week has space for a scheduled class. Our self-study courses let students in Portugal learn Reiki on their own timetable, returning to a lesson as often as they like and practicing between sessions without any rush. Many people find that steady, unhurried repetition is what helps the material settle in.
You can also combine the two formats. Some students begin with a self-study course to learn the basics quietly at home, then join the live Zoom class for conversation, questions and shared practice. Others start live and use self-study to review. Either path keeps your learning grounded and personal.
Learning with Donna Lakes and the ASHA Community
Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999, and her approach is warm, grounded and practical. She explains each step plainly, makes room for questions, and encourages students to build a daily practice that feels natural rather than forced.
Joining from Portugal means you become part of a wider ASHA community of students learning through the live Zoom class and self-study courses. You bring your own setting and rhythm, shaped by Portuguese holidays and festivals, and we meet you there with patient teaching and a calm, welcoming space online.
