Last weekend I attended yet another informative Reiki Home webinar, this one presented by Dr. Winthrop Wiltshire - Living Powerfully in the Now in Your Life. Winthrop, a Reiki Master for 30 years, used the Reiki Precepts as the foundation for his lively presentation and welcomed input from attendees. I am grateful for Reiki Home's quality offerings, open to all practitioners. As an added value, Reiki Home sends to those registered online, a link of all its webinars to save and refer back to at any time.

I first discovered Reiki Home about 3 years ago and quickly realized I'd found a new home and a new way of living mindfully in that home. The webcasts offered by this organization are phenomenal. There's literally something for everyone - all Reiki lineages and practices. And a library of Reiki Home webcasts enables me to leisurely view them at my convenience and to refer back to them whenever I want. I've supported Reiki Home as a volunteer Council member since 2021 and have made personal financial contributions to support this organization as it supports Reiki practitioners around the world.
Hello and thank you for the enlightening experience! I myself am going through loss of a parent and the topic for me was a helpful reminder of presiousness of life and impuls to stay present. Thank you!
Such amazing opportunities for growth and community! They have many offerings that include stories from Reiki Masters that have work with Reiki for over 40 years, engaging webinars and new opportunities to expand your practice, healing journey and be in a community of like minds. Highly recommend!
Reiki Home is the only organization providing ongoing education for Reiki practitioners. It is international, welcoming and open to all practitioners. The Board operates with a gentleness and love that I have never experienced before on a Board. This organization truly lifts the hearts and minds of all it touches.
Reiki Home is a Home for me where people with compassion, integrity and ability to bring healing for all Beings and the planet herself flow together. As a volunteer with Reiki Home, I receive support, upliftment and confirmation of the goodness in me.
Reiki Home is a generous organization that offers a wide variety of services to the community. They are inclusive and welcoming to people from all walks of life. So many people from all over the world participate in Reiki Home's mission through volunteering and other activities and events!
I’ve never encountered a non profit with so much heart! Reiki Home lives their mission to spread healing and bring peace. Their educational offerings are unmatched. The community is large and strong and I feel grateful to be part of it!

Reiki Foundation International has SO much to offer! As a Reiki practitioner, I could spend months watching all of their webcasts and never get bored! They have so much to offer in terms of professional and personal development for Reiki practitioners. They also provide countless opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals from around the world and connect to this international Reiki community. It's such a gift!
I find the supportive community created by Reiki Home to be very valuable. I like joining others sending Reiki to issues of importance to the entire community and country. I have learned about new discoveries others have revealed with their research. This adds to the depth and richness of Reiki history and its context.

This wonderful organization is open to all Reiki lineages and all Reiki levels. There is literally “something for everyone,” which is a blessing in these days of divisiveness. I have participated in many of their very reasonably priced webinars and have been pleased both with the information shared and by the way it was presented. The bonus is that the recording is forever available to all who register. The openness and generosity of this organization is astounding.
I am a witness to the board of Reiki Home. Their regenerative philosophy and their care and warmth are wonderful. They offer fantastic webcasts that enhance my Reiki Experiences. Their inclusivity is well appreciated.

A message from Someone (anonymous):
Here's a toast to nurturing self-love, promoting healing, achieving alignment, fostering
awareness, facilitating integration, striving for unity, and working towards creating a new
Earth.
I first heard of Reiki Home in 2020 and started attending some of their informative webinars and healing circles. I was struck by the integrity of this group. Even though there is great diversity of belief in the Reiki community, Reiki Home invites harmony and respect.
It's a friendly (digital) space that I keep coming back to. I like that there are multiple ways to engage: Live on Zoom, replays, offline groups, and an informative email newsletter.
I am mostly a client but I have also volunteered with Reiki Home which was also a wonderful experience. I am proud to be part of this community.
My experience with Reiki Foundation International, aka Reiki Home, is excellent. A wide variety of activities are regularly organised and offered, offering a lot of opportunity to connect with and learn from people around the globe. I love especially the bottom up approach within the organisation and its inclusiveness.

Reiki Home – A Valuable NGO
Reiki Home is a very valuable Nongovernmental Organization, with one of its core goals being to promote peace in the world through the application of Reiki and its precepts among the various worldwide lineages.
One dramatic manifestation of this mission was the recent international peace conference in Trinidad and Tobago in May 2023 when Reiki Home partnered with the International Peace Research Association to have approximately two hundred participants from the various parts of the world, Asia, Africa, Europe, North and South America and the Caribbean, to participate in the IPRA conference.
Participants discussed practical and research initiatives to promote peace from a variety of perspectives.

REIKI HOME Perspective
The international Reiki community is divided into many different lineages, systems and practices most of which function in their own individual silos. Reiki Home is an umbrella organization whose major objective is to be a place where all Reiki people, irrespective of lineage, system or practice can find a place to interact in the oneness of Reiki.
One mechanism used by Reiki Home to perform this important function is through webinars for sharing and education to which all Reiki practitioners are invited.
As a Caribbean Reiki Master for 25 years I am someone who has benefitted from the activities of Reiki Home, which is providing an invaluable service to the international Reiki community.

Volunteer
Is a non-profit that supports the global Reiki community and encourages other local Reiki communities to launch Reiki activities. The partnership with this organization is based on common values, respect and mutual support. From Romania we recommend them, and we are grateful for their support.
I was honoured to take part in the Reiki and Children panel podcasts. It was fascinating meeting other people from around the world talking on the same panels and seeing the similarities and differences in our ideas. I would encourage everyone to look at what Reiki Home produces as it is always varied and always interesting.
Great webinars on interesting topics that concern us all, connect us, and bring depth and development.
Reiki Home provides a global educational platform for all forms, levels, lineages and systems of Reiki practices. It functions essentially through numerous hardworking volunteers. I have been connected with Reiki Home for a few years and have learnt and contributed in many ways including being on the Board and through introducing interpretation rooms that led to webcasts being available in several languages - live and recorded. This has further supported the Home’s global outreach. Together with the Council, the Board continues to strengthen the governance in the spirit of a non-profit organisation.
I have been involved with Reiki Home for many years and have always appreciated the camaraderie and respect I find here. I have met others with shared experience and interests and found a larger network than the small community where I live. Over the past few months my husband has faced major health challenges and I have felt the miracle of support through the distant reiki of the hearts and hands team and other Reiki Home members. We have both benefitted immensely from the support and seen things flow in unexpectedly perfect ways.
I worked for a non-profit for many years. When I left and started my own for-profit business, I felt really limited in terms of my ability to bring Reiki to the individuals who needed it most. I had all these ideas for ways to serve using Reiki, but no clue how to bring those ideas to life, especially as a for-profit business. I was so happy to discover Reiki home and realize there is already an organization sharing Reiki in the most beautiful ways, with people who really need it. They have such a wide variety of offerings and their international reach is really remarkable. As a volunteer, I love being able to connect with like-minded people from all over the world who share my love for Reiki. Reiki Home has truly created a world-wide Reiki family, and I'm so grateful to be part of it.
I have been following the activities of Reiki Home, participating to some of the webinars offered and I impressed by the depth, the expertise and the commitment to this organization by all the presenters.
The understanding of my practice of reiki has been enriched, and I am supporting the Reiki Home efforts to bring Reiki to the world to make it a better place.
Serving is learning
Being a volunteer in Reiki Home allowed me to express my potential, my efforts in creating a better world have been empowered and at the same time, working with them, taught me a lot about the same better world that already exists.
I am grateful to Reiki Home. this amazing group of international Reiki practitioners offer support, seminars, Reiki circles and support with an incredible level of knowledge that exists for new Reiki students, Reiki teachers, and masters alike.
I am in search of home. I have traveled to the birthplaces of both of my parents and found pieces of home. When I participate in programs offered by Reiki Home I feel at home. My definition of home expands and I see myself in new ways. I am nurtured by friendships from around the world. I discover different ways of seeing and different ways of being together.
Reiki Home is transformation in motion. This organization is walking on untrodden territory by teaching its members how to communicate clearly and respectfully. I am honoured to volunteer, donate and participate.
I recently took a 6-week course offered by Shelley Easthope entitled The Ki in Reiki. It was an amazing experience. The material was thoughtfully presented, and I learned a great deal that is valuable in my career. I am grateful for the opportunities Reiki Foundation International offers to expand my awareness.
Reiki Foundation International is a wonderful information platform for Reiki practitioners of all levels.
I am very excited to be involved with Reiki Home. Working together with wonderful people, building an organization that wants to make a difference in the way we are in the world as human beings.
Reiki Home is a wonderful organization linking all forms and levels of Reiki. Everyone is welcome and respected. It offers an abundance of educational opportunies for growth and understanding.
Reiki Home has brought me many new friends and experiences.
I have been a witness to the Reiki Home board this year. I am constantly in awe of how they run this wonderful organization. Everyone is equal.... there is no "top" and "bottom." The fact that they have witnesses sitting in on board meetings to offer what "energy" was felt during the discussions shows you that they are open to exploring their inner workings and are always looking for ways to improve and to be inclusive. The services that they offer to the Global Reiki community and to the world are invaluable.
My participation in Reiki Home has brought me many unexpected gifts: personal growth, friendships across the globe and opportunities for service
I am a volunteer with Reiki Home since 2014 and I am very excited about the organization. It is a welcoming place where I meet and work with people from many different cultures and Reiki systems. An organization that is all about learning together. Not only to deepen our understanding of the practice of Reiki and how Reiki can benefit society, but also how to build a living organization inspired by the principles of regenerative development.
Home for me has always been a place of sanctuary. Home was a place where I grew safely. A place where I was held softly whilst I grew, stretched and expanded. It is and was a place to pause, rest, heal and be nourished. Whilst I realise this may not be everybody’s experience, I would invite everyone to come and experience this way of being in Reiki Home.
The Poem “Home” speaks to the heart. Reiki Home reflects all of the above and more. Reiki Home’s presentations and offerings support, nurture, nourish and educate the wider global community. I consider it an honour and a privilege to be a volunteer for Reiki Home.
Reiki nurtures and expands my soul. Being a volunteer of Reiki Home also nurtures and expands my soul. Reiki Home offers us all many opportunities to nurture and expand our souls whilst meeting with the wider global community. Step through the door and experience all Reiki Home has to offer.

I am volunteer at Reiki Home. At first doing translation tasks into Spanish and now performing other functions. It is a wonderful organization that seeks -in this case with Reiki as a basis- to convey respect between the different Reiki practices. But it goes further, its philosophy is to live in harmony with everything that surrounds us, with our environment: people, cultures, Nature ... It really is an organization that encourages inclusive thinking of respect and growth at all possible levels of the Human Being.
I volunteer with Reiki Home in several ways. I am the host for a Reiki Master facilitating a circle for Reiki healing. I substitute host for other circles and train persons in using our virtual video conferencing venue. Also I take care of Reiki Home’s business Facebook Page.
I enjoy caring for the Facebook Page as it gives me something meaningful to do. It connects me with people around the planet, their knowledge and their practices, their love and care for others, for Reiki. Connection with others and respectful communication are essential to my well-being!
The diversity and acceptance given to all by Reiki Home are in alignment with my values and vital to the health of the world.
Hosting the circle with a dedicated Reiki Master has brought more connections and love into my life as well as a deep healing. I was terrified of being seen in public as I am when hosting this circle - yet I wanted to do it. I stayed present with my feelings and over time the fear dissolved. I enjoy doing it now!
Reiki Home is a wonderful organization where everyone is welcome and respected and learning is encouraged
The organization work tirelessly to educate people on the benefits of practicing reiki and helping each other to generate a better world
I began my journey with Reiki Home in March, 2017 when my Reiki Master and friend, suggested I volunteer my administrative services to Reiki Home and she introduced me to the Executive Director. My work background is in administrative office management so I began to work with the Executive Director in organizing and producing the calendar for the reiki circles. As time went on, I took on more responsibilities and became the Calendar Coordinator who oversees the organizing and promoting of the reiki circles and the webcasts offered by Reiki Home.
My role in Reiki Home during the last few years has been such a blessing to me as it has introduced me to people around the world who wish to connect in order to share in the healing energy of reiki and good thoughts especially during these trying times. When I participate in the reiki circles or webcasts, I connect with people who have a positive energy and spirit and my work helps me to feel that I am making a difference by offering my administrative talents as well as healing energy to promote this connection. I believe that my experience with Reiki Home has enriched my life by assisting me in staying focused and positive and it gives me the belief that what I do does make a difference. Most importantly this work has introduced me to people around the world who are eager to connect and learn from each other and to hold healing energy for all people.

I have done some volunteering work to help this wonderful group of people who provide on-line space for people to learn about Reiki but also to participate in interactive meditation groups and Reiki Reflections. They have a fantastic vision for the future and are working hard to extend their reach to the wider community, offering both for students of Reiki and teachers support and resources. Reiki Home is also there to welcome as a hub to welcome new people with input from all Reiki traditions who wish to find out about the benefits of Reiki. Reiki Home, a place for the global community of teachers and students working together in collaboration with the board and their Creative Director Elaine Andres who was named Source, by Phyllis Lei Furumoto before her passing in 2019; a master of over 40 years experience who works continuously to inspire the growth of Reiki Home, a place to come back to, time and again. Every time I come into contact with Reiki Home I feel blessed by the warmth and spirit of this on-line community and I am so grateful. Tripuri Dunne Reiki Master Usui Shiki Ryoho.
I started volunteering for Reiki Home organization about a year and a half ago. My experience as a programmer allowed me to help Reiki Home with maintaning www.reikihome.org website.
Further on I contributed to the development of the Vimeo project, to allow publishing Reiki Home webcasts and expand the circle of viewers.
It's my joy and pleasure to contribute to the development of projects that make the world to be a better place to live in. I deeply honor and appreciate the works that Elaine Andres (Executive Director) and other volunteers do in serving the Reiki community and expanding the global Reiki circle worldwide.
With love,

As a volunteer for Reiki Home, I began my service in 2011 when the organization was born. My role grew over the years with most of my time now spent in administration, communication and partnering with volunteers.
My heart called with a deep knowing that if I said "Yes", I would find my place in the world community, a space where my heart could sing, filled with an awareness that I am home. And, that came to be my reality.
Each day brings challenges to address and gifts to embrace. To name a few: Learning new technical tools and skills is a necessity and a challenge. I have a trust and knowing that the time is always perfect for me and the other person. My thinking opened to a new way to understand life by working with the regenerative process. My biggest joy is working with the global community in building peace. Together through the practice of Reiki, we offer healing to ourselves, to others and the earth so all Life Expressions flourish. It is such a joy to participate in Reiki Home!
