Reiki classes for the Ocean State, live on Zoom

Rhode Island is the smallest of the fifty states, only 37 miles wide and 48 miles long, yet people there live in very different rhythms. Someone in Providence, someone in Newport and someone in Woonsocket can sit in the same live Zoom class at the same moment, with no one leaving home.

ASHA, the Ascension School of Healing Arts, teaches Reiki and energy healing online. Anyone in Rhode Island can join a live Zoom class led by Donna Lakes, who has been teaching since 1999, or can work through a self-study course at a pace that suits their own week.

Live Zoom classes from Providence to Block Island Sound

Rhode Island sits on the Atlantic, with Rhode Island Sound and Block Island Sound along its southern edge, and Narragansett Bay cutting deep into the state. A person near the water in Newport or Warwick joins the live Zoom class the same way a person inland does, with a screen, a quiet chair and a few unhurried hours.

Because the class is live, you can ask a question and hear the answer right then. Many people find that a shared Zoom room feels settled and personal. Practice is explained step by step, and you are welcome to ask for it to be slowed down or shown again.

Self-study courses for a state built on mills and shipyards

Rhode Island has a long working history. Samuel Slater set up Slater Mill at Pawtucket in 1793, and the Blackstone River Valley became a major contributor to the American industrial revolution. Many of those old factories are now offices, museums and homes. The state's boatbuilding and submarine construction continue that tradition, and those trades can run on early starts and shifting schedules.

A student in Rhode Island might choose a self-study course because it fits around work like that. You open the lessons when you are ready, pause when life interrupts, and return to them without losing your place. A student might also begin with self-study and later add a live Zoom class to practice with others.

A state that has always valued thinking for yourself

Roger Williams settled Providence in 1636 after being banished from Massachusetts Bay, and Rhode Island has carried an independent streak ever since. That spirit suits Reiki study well, since Reiki is a personal practice you learn, try and make your own. The Ocean State's nickname is also Little Rhody, and the people who live there tend to like things that are plain and honest.

ASHA keeps its teaching in that spirit: grounded, practical and free of hype. If you live anywhere in Rhode Island and are curious about Reiki, you can join the live Zoom class or begin a self-study course. You can ask ASHA questions first, and no one will hurry you toward a decision.
