Wisconsin spreads across 72 counties, from the Lake Superior lowland and the forested, lake-strewn Northern Highland down through the central plain to the eastern ridges where Milwaukee, Madison and Green Bay sit. The Ascension School of Healing Arts brings Reiki and energy healing study to all of it through live Zoom classes and self-study courses, so a student in the Driftless Area and a student on the Lake Michigan shore learn side by side.
Our school is based in Ferndale, Michigan, a state that shares a border with Wisconsin on the northeast. For Wisconsin students, everything happens on screen and at your own pace. You join the live Zoom class from your kitchen table, a quiet corner of a farmhouse, or an apartment in the Fox Cities, and the self-study courses wait for you whenever your week allows.
The Wisconsin state motto is the single word Forward, and it suits the way Reiki study tends to work. You learn a little, you practice, and you keep going. Our classes are built for that kind of steady, practical progress, with clear lessons, time for questions in the live Zoom class, and self-study material you can return to as often as you like.
Wisconsinites know something about patient, everyday work. America's Dairyland became the official state slogan in 1940 and has been on license plates ever since, a reminder of a culture shaped by daily routines. A regular Reiki practice can sit comfortably inside that rhythm, a few calm minutes before chores, after a shift, or at the end of a long winter evening.
Forest covers 46 percent of Wisconsin's land, and many students here already have a feel for quiet places among pines, lakes and hills. The Badger State earned its nickname from early lead miners in the southwest who dug into hillsides for shelter, and there is something grounded about that image. Our teaching keeps Reiki equally down to earth: simple hand positions, focused attention, and room to settle.
Because the class meets on Zoom, it does not matter whether you live near Lake Superior in the north or close to the Illinois border in the south. Students across Wisconsin log in to the same live session, ask questions in real time, and hear one another's experiences. Self-study courses add flexibility for anyone whose schedule shifts with the seasons.
Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999, and she brings a warm, plain-spoken style to every live Zoom class. She explains each step, invites questions, and makes space for students who are brand new to energy work as well as those who want to go further.
Wisconsin students can start with a self-study course to get comfortable, then join the live Zoom class when they are ready to practice with a group. Reach out to ASHA with any questions about which option suits you, and we will help you find a good place to begin.
