Reno sits where the Sierra Nevada meets the Great Basin, a high-desert city that has always been shaped by people arriving and then deciding what comes next. The Ascension School of Healing Arts, based in Ferndale, Michigan, teaches Reiki and energy-healing classes live on Zoom, so a person in Reno can join from home and never leave the high desert.
Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999, and the live Zoom class keeps the pace of a real room. You ask questions, hear other students ask theirs, and practice together on the call. When a week gets crowded, self-study courses let you move at your own speed instead.
Reno was officially founded on May 9, 1868 as a stop on the Central Pacific Railroad, and it was named for Union Major General Jesse Lee Reno. In 1931 Nevada cut the divorce residency requirement to six weeks, and more than 30,000 divorces were granted at the Washoe County courthouse during the 1930s. A city with that history knows a lot about starting over, and a quiet practice like Reiki can appeal to someone standing at a new beginning.
Today the city leans on the University of Nevada, Reno, outdoor recreation, and Tesla's Gigafactory Nevada east of town, which opened in 2017. A student in Reno might work shifts at the plant, keep a campus schedule, or run a business in a fast-growing area. Online classes fit that kind of week better than a fixed commute would.
The Reno Arch glows over Virginia Street, and the current fourth version, installed in 1987, spans about 65 feet. The "Biggest Little City in the World" slogan was added in 1929 after a naming contest. Along the Neon Line arts district, large public pieces like the 49-foot Desert Guard and the kinetic rearing horse keep the city's attention on light, color and form.
Reno is also the gateway to Burning Man, and many of its art pieces are permanently installed downtown. A student in Reno might already be tuned to creative, energetic ways of seeing a place, and the Zoom class gives that curiosity a steady, guided practice to work with.
Reno's calendar fills up fast. Hot August Nights shows more than 5,000 classic cars across Reno and Sparks, and the Great Reno Balloon Race and the Reno Rodeo bring more outdoor crowds. A student in Reno might want a live Zoom class in the quieter weeks and a self-study course when the festivals take over.
The Reno + Sparks Chamber of Commerce, incorporated in 1919, and the Rotary Club of Reno, chartered in 1916 as the first Rotary club in Nevada, show how long this city has valued community. People in Reno can join ASHA's Zoom classes the same way, by signing in and learning alongside others. Ask the school about upcoming class dates and which self-study courses are open.

Yes. ASHA teaches live Zoom classes, so anyone in Reno can join from home with an internet connection. Self-study courses are also available if you prefer to learn on your own schedule.
No. The school is based in Ferndale, Michigan, but the Reno page is about the live Zoom class and the self-study courses, which you can use wherever you are in Nevada.
Self-study courses are built for that. A student in Reno who works shifts, studies at the university, or has a busy festival season can learn at their own pace and still join a live Zoom class when it fits.
