Online Reiki and Energy Healing Classes for Topeka, Kansas
Live Zoom Reiki for the Golden City
Topeka is the capital of Kansas, and its copper-domed statehouse is said to shine gold at sunset, which is where the nickname the Golden City comes from. People in Topeka can join the live Zoom class with the Ascension School of Healing Arts from a kitchen table, a spare bedroom or any quiet corner with a steady connection.
A student in Topeka might log in after a workday near the Kansas State Capitol, where the John Steuart Curry murals include the famous Tragic Prelude painting of John Brown, and settle into an evening of Reiki practice without leaving home. The live Zoom class keeps the teacher and the group together in real time, so questions get answered as they come up.
A Good Place to Dig In
The founders chose the name Topeka in 1855 from a Kansa-Osage word meaning roughly a good place to dig potatoes, picking it for being novel and pleasant to the ear. That image of patient, grounded work suits Reiki well, since the practice rewards steady attention more than speed.
Topeka was laid out in 1854 as a free-state town by antislavery settlers, and it later gave its name to Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, the 1954 Supreme Court ruling that struck down segregated public schools. A student in Topeka might bring that same sense of steady conviction to a regular self-study routine, returning to the lessons a little at a time.
Music, Poetry and Practice in Topeka
The classic rock band Kansas, known for Carry On Wayward Son and Dust in the Wind, formed in Topeka and honed its sound in local garages and bars in the early 1970s. Pulitzer Prize winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks, the first Black poet to win the Pulitzer, was born in Topeka in 1917.
Each June the Sunflower Music Festival presents free orchestra, chamber and jazz concerts on the Washburn University campus, and the Spirit of Kansas Blues Festival brings national acts to Lake Shawnee. Fiesta Topeka, one of the oldest community Hispanic celebrations in the country, honors Mexican-American culture. A student in Topeka might plan self-study lessons around these summer evenings and pick up the live Zoom class again afterward.
The City That Once Called Itself Google, Kansas
In March 2010 Topeka temporarily renamed itself Google, Kansas to woo Google Fiber, and on April Fools' Day that year Google returned the joke by renaming itself Topeka. A city that eager for a good connection is a natural fit for the live Zoom class and for online self-study courses in Reiki and energy healing.
Self-study courses let a learner in Topeka move at a personal pace, while the live Zoom class adds group practice and direct feedback. A student in Topeka might read a lesson in the morning, then spend a calm afternoon among the blooms of the Reinisch Rose Garden in Gage Park before practicing what was learned.
