UPCOMING EVENTS
Self-Reiki Workshop
Tuesday, September 22, 2026 | 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Keezletown, Virginia
Hosted by Debbie and Dabney
Step away from the busyness of life and spend a peaceful morning learning a simple practice you can take home and use whenever you need to reconnect, relax, and restore.
During this intimate workshop, Debbie will introduce you to the history and principles of Reiki and teach you the foundations of Self-Reiki—a gentle practice that uses light touch or hands held just above the body to encourage relaxation, mindfulness, and energetic balance.
Throughout the morning, you'll have multiple opportunities to practice Self-Reiki, ask questions, and build confidence in using this technique for your own well-being.
As a special part of the experience, you'll also participate in a Group Reiki Session, where you'll discover the calming and supportive energy that can emerge when people come together with intention. Participants will experience both giving and receiving Reiki in a small, guided group setting.
After our workshop, we'll gather around the table for a nourishing lunch featuring wholesome foods and a selection of herbal teas while enjoying meaningful conversation and the beauty of the mountain setting.

Light snacks will be available throughout the day.
Participants are invited to bring a yoga mat, a water bottle, and wear comfortable clothing for gentle movement and relaxation.
