Reiki on Zoom for the City of Trees

Sacramento is known as the City of Trees, and it was among the first U.S. cities recognized that way by the Arbor Day Foundation in 1978. A leafy canopy shades streets from East Sacramento to Land Park, and that quiet, green character suits a practice built on stillness and steady attention. The Ascension School of Healing Arts brings its Reiki and energy healing teaching to Sacramento through the live Zoom class and through self-study courses you can open whenever your day allows.

People anywhere in Sacramento, California can join a live Zoom class from home. Whether you live on the walkable grid streets of Midtown, in historic Oak Park between the central city and Land Park, or in the newer district of Natomas in the northern part of the city, the class comes to your own screen. Donna Lakes, who has been teaching since 1999, leads the sessions with a warm and practical approach.

A Steady Practice for a Capital City Workday

As the capital of California and seat of Sacramento County, the city runs on state government, which is its dominant employer. Many people in Sacramento also work for major employers such as UC Davis Health, Sutter Health, Intel and Aerojet. Days shaped by the business of the nation's most populous state can feel full, and a Reiki practice offers a simple way to pause, breathe and settle your attention before or after work.

Self-study courses fit around a schedule tied to the Capitol, a hospital shift or an office near Capitol Park. You can work through lessons at your own pace, then bring your questions to the live Zoom class when it suits you. The aim is a practice you can return to each day, wherever you sit in Sacramento.

Where Two Rivers Meet

Sacramento sits at the confluence of the Sacramento and American Rivers, a meeting point that made the city a riverport and supply hub during the 1848 and 1849 Gold Rush. Tower Bridge, a 1935 gold-painted vertical-lift bridge, still stands over the Sacramento River as a city symbol. For many people, the image of two rivers joining into one current is a fitting picture for the calm, flowing awareness that Reiki practice invites.

The city also carries a long sense of beginnings. Sacramento became the oldest incorporated city in California on February 27, 1850, and it served as the western end of both the Pony Express and the first transcontinental railroad. A new Reiki practice is a much smaller start, but it can grow the same way, one steady session at a time, from a home anywhere in Sacramento.

Grounded Like the Farm-to-Fork Capital

In 2012 Sacramento adopted its identity as America's Farm-to-Fork Capital, celebrating the Central Valley farmland that surrounds it. Dozens of restaurants source directly from nearby farms, and the annual Tower Bridge Dinner has been held on the bridge itself since 2013. That respect for the land and its rhythms echoes the grounded tone ASHA brings to every lesson.

Reiki practice can sit comfortably alongside the small rituals Sacramento already loves, like a walk past the rose garden at McKinley Park or an afternoon in 166-acre William Land Park. After the live Zoom class, many people like to carry its quiet into time outdoors under the city's famous trees. The self-study courses are there between sessions, so the practice keeps going in your own season and at your own pace.
