Shelton sits on the Housatonic River in Fairfield County, and it has always been a place that makes things. In the 19th century the dam and canal powered mills that turned out everything from pins to pianos. ASHA brings Reiki to Shelton the same practical way: live Zoom classes with a teacher, plus self-study courses you can open when the day allows.
Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999, and the live classes run entirely on Zoom. A person in Shelton can join from a kitchen table on Walnut Tree Hill Road or a quiet room near Huntington Center, with nothing to pack and no one to coordinate. You learn the hand positions, the principles and the practice together with a small group.
Every wiffle ball ever made comes from Shelton, where The Wiffle Ball, Inc. has stayed family-run on Bridgeport Avenue and never moved its work overseas. Reiki has a similar feel: simple on the surface, learned by doing, and passed along person to person. The live Zoom class lets you practice with others instead of only reading about it.
Shelton also has a corporate side. Hubbell is headquartered here, BIC and Sikorsky run operations in the city, and Route 8 brought over two million square feet of office space. A student in Shelton might work in one of those offices and want a calm evening practice, so our self-study courses let you move at your own pace around a workday.
Shelton keeps a rural edge. Jones Family Farms on Walnut Tree Hill Road has been worked by one family for generations, with cut-your-own Christmas trees and a farm winery. Shelton-grown trees were chosen as the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in 2007 and 2013. Grounding and gentle attention to the living world are a natural fit for Reiki study.
The city also holds Indian Well State Park on the Housatonic, Boothe Memorial Park and more than 15 miles of hiking paths, including the Paugussett Blue Blazed trail. A student in Shelton might walk one of those paths, then log in for a Zoom class and bring that settled feeling into the session. Riverwalk Park, built on the old sponge rubber plant site, shows how the city turns old ground into something new.
Shelton was once called Huntington, and it consolidated with the town of Huntington in 1919 to become the city it is now. If you like learning with other people and asking questions as they come up, the live Zoom class is the better fit. If your schedule is unpredictable, self-study lets you return to the lessons whenever you can.
Many people begin with a self-study course and add a live Zoom class later, or the other way around. Either path is open to anyone in Shelton, Connecticut. Write to ASHA with your questions and we will help you choose the starting point that suits your week.
