Reiki Chattanooga Current Schedule

Workshops with Reiki Chattanooga

Reiki Chattanooga offers Reiki workshops in the traditional Japanese branch of Reiki called Usui Reiki Ryoho. Reiki I, II and III are now based on this philosophy and are called by the Japanese names Shoden,  Okuden and Shinpiden.

Shoden is a Japanese word meaning 'first teachings'. These are the first teachings of the system of Reiki. In our practical Shoden courses you will learn how to help yourself with a daily healing practice and how you can also help your friends and family including your animals using Japanese healing techniques.

Okuden is a Japanese word meaning 'inner teachings'. As the word implies, a deeper understanding and connection to Usui Mikao’s teachings is achieved during this course. Utilizing Japanese principles, this level teaches how to connect to Earth and Heaven energy; the first steps to becoming fully integrated with the universe. This is achieved through the practice of shirushi (symbols) and jumon (mantras). This level will also support you in becoming a professional Reiki practitioner if that is your interest.

Shinpiden is the Japanese word for ‘mystery teachings’. It is aimed at Level II practitioners or established Reiki Teachers who wish to continue their personal journey, a journey that is ongoing long after you complete the Shinpiden course. It is therefore not just about teaching and is even suitable for those who wish to simply develop their personal Reiki practice and occasionally teach

All workshops and teleconferences are presented by Margaret Dexter, Reiki Teacher, Animal Reiki Teacher and Animal communicator. Unless otherwise noted, workshops are held at her home in North Chattanooga – details when you register. Teleconferences are phone calls – dial in information when you register.

Margaret's apartment is upstairs and she has cats, so if you cannot climb steps or are allergic to cats, you probably do not want to attend a workshop but are welcome to join the phone calls. Margaret will offer workshops in other locations if possible to accommodate those who cannot attend in her apartment.

Please contact Margaret Dexter for additional information.
