Online Reiki and Energy Healing Classes for Saint Paul, Minnesota
Reiki for the Saintly City, live on Zoom
Saint Paul very nearly kept the name Pig's Eye, after the tavern run by fur trader Pierre Parrant. Then, in 1841, Father Lucien Galtier built a log chapel dedicated to Saint Paul the Apostle above Lambert's Landing and urged settlers to choose a new name. A city that picked its own identity that deliberately suits a practice built on quiet intention, and people in Saint Paul can join the live Zoom class from wherever they settle in for the evening.
The Ascension School of Healing Arts teaches Reiki and energy work through live Zoom classes and self-study courses. You learn hand positions, breath and steady attention with a teacher who can see you and answer your questions in real time. Whether you live near the Cathedral of Saint Paul on the hill above downtown or along Summit Avenue's long row of Victorian homes, the class meets you at your own table.
A winter city that knows how to stay warm
Saint Paul has thrown a winter carnival since 1886, with ice and snow sculpting, treasure hunts and, when conditions allow, a towering ice palace. The St. Paul Curling Club, founded in 1912, is the largest curling club in the United States. People here clearly make the most of the cold months, and a live Zoom class fits right into a dark January evening.
There is no need to scrape a windshield or brave icy sidewalks to learn Reiki. You can log in to the live Zoom class with a cup of tea and a blanket, practice self Reiki while the snow falls outside, and return to the recordings or self-study lessons on the nights when the Saintly City is deep in its signature season.
A city with room for many spiritual paths
Saint Paul holds a wide range of traditions. The monumental Cathedral of Saint Paul rises above downtown, and neopagans have nicknamed the city Paganistan for its notably large Wiccan and pagan population. Long before either, the Mdewakanton Dakota, including the Kaposia band, lived here for centuries and called the white sandstone bluffs above the Mississippi Imniza-ska.
ASHA teaches Reiki as a practice of presence and gentle touch that people of many backgrounds can learn. The live Zoom class welcomes curious beginners and longtime practitioners alike, so someone in Saint Paul drawn to meditation, prayer or earth-centered ritual can add Reiki to what they already do without being asked to leave anything behind.
How the live Zoom class and self-study courses work
Saint Paul is a city that likes to gather. The Saint Paul Jaycees formed on September 11, 1929, and the Rotary Club of Saint Paul (#10) still meets today. The live Zoom class carries that same spirit of showing up together: a small group, a teacher who knows your name, and time to practice and share what you noticed.
Classes are led by Donna Lakes, who has been teaching since 1999, with a warm and practical style. If your schedule in Saint Paul is full, the self-study courses let you move through the material at your own pace and then join a live Zoom class when you are ready to practice with others.
