FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH CHRONIC PAIN & ILLNESS
Traditional Reiki. Modern Pain Science. A New Relationship With Yourself.
A Two-Day In-Person Immersion Near Philadelphia
Limited to 6 Spots
Friday, November 20, 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Saturday, November 21, 11:00 am - 4:00 pm
Living with chronic pain or illness changes more than your body. Over time, it can shape how you think, what you expect, the choices you make, and your relationship with yourself.
This two-day immersive experience brings together the contemplative practice of traditional Japanese Reiki with today's understanding of predictive processing, neuroplasticity, and nervous system regulation. Through meditation, self-Reiki, breath practices, and guided reflection, you'll learn to meet your body with presence instead of fear, and begin building a relationship rooted in trust, compassion, and curiosity.
Whether your symptoms stay the same or begin to change, you'll leave with a lifelong practice that helps you respond differently to your experience and reconnect with the wholeness that has always been there.
Who This Is For
This experience may be a good fit if you:
Live with chronic pain, persistent symptoms, or chronic illness
Feel exhausted by constantly monitoring or managing your body
Are curious about the connection between the brain, nervous system, and symptoms
Want a gentle self-practice rather than another thing to “do perfectly”
Are open to Reiki, meditation, contemplative practice, and mind-body approaches
Want to develop a more compassionate relationship with your body
Are willing to practice between sessions and continue exploring after the workshop
No previous Reiki experience is required.
This Is a Practice,
Not Just a Class
This is an experiential, practice-based training, not simply a lecture.
Participants should be willing to:
You’re willing to engage in contemplative practice
This includes periods of quiet, inward attention, with flexibility to sit, lie down, stand, walk, or change positions as your body needs. Stillness is an invitation to slow down and listen, not a requirement to push through pain.
Practice breath and body awareness
Place their own hands on their body for self-Reiki
Notice thoughts, emotions, and sensations with curiosity
Participate in gentle experiential exercises
Practice without needing to “get it right”
Remain open to the possibility that healing may include changes in your relationship with symptoms, not only changes in the symptoms themselves
You do not need to be good at meditation. You do not need to be spiritual. You do not need to believe anything in particular about Reiki.
You simply need a willingness to practice.
What You'll Learn
Understand chronic pain and illness through the lens of modern pain neuroscience and predictive processing.
Learn the traditional practices of Japanese Reiki as a lifelong contemplative practice.
Develop a daily self-Reiki practice to support nervous system regulation.
Shift from monitoring symptoms to listening to your body with curiosity and compassion.
Build greater safety, flexibility, and resilience in both body and mind.
Reconnect with your innate wholeness beneath the pain.

Reserve Your Spot
This offering is intentionally limited to no more than 6 participants.
The small group allows us to slow down, practice together, ask questions, and create a supportive learning environment that feels personal rather than like a large workshop.
There will be opportunities for reflection and sharing, but you will never be required to disclose personal medical information or share more than feels comfortable.
Important Note
This program is educational and experiential and is not a substitute for medical care, psychotherapy, physical therapy, or other professional treatment. Participants should continue working with their healthcare providers as appropriate.
The intention is not to suggest that all pain or symptoms are caused by the brain or nervous system. Rather, we will explore how protective brain and nervous system processes can sometimes contribute to the persistence or amplification of symptoms, and how compassionate, non-threatening experiences may support a different response.
