In 2019, they toured the East Coast (US), Canada, Czech Republic, the U.K., and Germany.
Tickets are $15 for individual and $25 for family households and on-sale now. A private link will be sent to all ticket purchasers the week prior to the event and is valid for 48 hours. Don’t wait until the last minute!

Join us on Zoom for an online Reiki Master class. These classes are designed to help you learn advanced techniques for using Reiki to solve problems and achieve goals. The Usui Master Practitioner attunement increases the strength of Reiki energy that you channel. New symbols will be learned and the method to give others attunements. Using crystals and stones with Reiki, and making a grid that continues sending Reiki will also be taught.
There will be plenty of allotted time for practicing and building confidence with administering Reiki attunements and ignitions. Once the Master level is successfully attained students will be eligible to teach and attune others to Reiki I/II, and Master. Even so, many choose to take the class for their own use and ability to offer Reiki to family and friends. This class is a powerful healing experience.
Upon successful completion of the class, Touchpoint Therapy, LLC provides a student certificate issued by the ICRT (International Center for Reiki Training).
