Virginia Beach carries a Guinness world record as the longest pleasure beach anywhere, and its 35 miles of coastline give the city a rhythm all its own. For people who live along that shoreline, the Ascension School of Healing Arts brings Reiki and energy healing instruction straight to a laptop through the live Zoom class, so learning can happen at home between beach days.
Residents who call their city VB, or who count themselves part of the 757, can join our sessions from any room with a steady connection. Our Ferndale, Michigan school teaches each live Zoom class in real time, which means you can ask questions, practice hand positions on yourself and hear from other learners as the lesson unfolds.
Tourism, defense and real estate are the three major pillars of the Virginia Beach economy, and each one tends to shape a household calendar differently. Hospitality workers along the oceanfront may face busy summer stretches, while families tied to Naval Air Station Oceana, the Navy's East Coast master jet base, often plan around deployments and duty rosters.
That variety is why ASHA pairs the live Zoom class with self-study courses you can open whenever your week allows. Someone who hears F/A-18 Super Hornets passing overhead on a weekday afternoon can still settle into a quiet lesson later that evening, then rejoin the group for the next scheduled session.
English colonists bound for Jamestown made their first landfall at Cape Henry on April 26, 1607, in what is now northeastern Virginia Beach. The Old Cape Henry Lighthouse, dating to 1791, and the Cape Henry Memorial Cross still mark that early chapter of American history within the city.
Virginia Beach also has an unusual civic story: in 1963 the town merged with the former Princess Anne County, creating an independent city that belongs to no county. People drawn to that sense of long memory and fresh beginnings often find Reiki a fitting practice, and they are welcome to join ASHA online wherever they live in the city.
Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999, and she leads our Reiki instruction with a warm, grounded and practical style. Learners in Virginia Beach can attend the live Zoom class for guided practice and discussion, or move through self-study courses at a pace that suits beach season, festival weekends and everything in between.
Every fall since 1973 the Neptune Festival fills the city with energy, and the 34-foot King Neptune statue keeps watch near the boardwalk year round. Whether your free hours come after a walk at Mount Trashmore Park or a meeting with the Virginia Beach Jaycees or the Rotary Club of Virginia Beach, our online format lets Reiki study sit alongside the community life you already enjoy.
