My Nonprofit Reviews

I have been involved with RERI for about three years, first taking the Fundamentals class and most recently participating in the Masters class. I have learned the mechanics of performing Reiki as well as its philosophy and history. But I think what has had the greatest impact is how RERI presents its classes. The Fundamentals course, for example, was eight sessions long; between sessions students have a couple of weeks to review, practice and journal their experiences. This allows for more focused questions and encourages more in-depth discussion during the next session. You learn as an individual, but also from the experiences and insights of your fellow students.

I have also had a number of Reiki sessions both remotely (I live out of state) and in person (when visiting NC) through RERI. These have been a key part of my learning and growth. I have found the annual retreats to be life-changing. For me, RERI's Reiki programs have become an invaluable spiritual touchstone.

I am not an expert and still have a lot to learn, which I will do, in part, through continued involvement as a client, student and volunteer (a role which I pursued and has been very important to me). Bill and Mei Yin are the heart, the greater RERI community is beautiful and hopefully all will forever be part of my life.
