Community Outreach “Love grows by service.” ~ Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Reiki Community Outreach and Reiki Share Programs

A wonderful aspect about Reiki is the capacity of sharing it. You can share Reiki by sending distance Reiki, by treating someone personally, or by receiving or giving a group Reiki treatment yourself. If you'd like to develop these skills, want to meet like-minded people, then come and join our Reiki practitioner's sharing circle or become involved in our community outreach activities (all Reiki lineages are accepted, and you need to bring a copy of your Reiki certificate to the Reiki Share or be a Taproot Healing Institute student).

So what is Reiki Community Outreach?

At the Taproot Healing Institute, we strive to help individuals, families and communities as they deal with the complex issues that surround our communities. As we work side-by-side with community members, we are committed to partnerships that restore health, and promote compassion.

As part of its mission, Taproot is implementing a Reiki Outreach Program. The service is a voluntary and partnership program that provides alternative healthcare therapies for those in various communities (Hospitals, Hospice Centers, Homeless Shelters, Women's Shelters, Assisted Living Facilities, Recovery Programs, Nursing Homes, etc.) that could not otherwise afford or access these services.

We consider outreach programs such as this to be one of our most crucial and beneficial activities of Reiki Practitioners. For this reason, volunteers play and extremely important role in providing these services to their communities. If you, would like to find out about becoming a Reiki practitioner community outreach volunteer contact us.

So what is a Reiki Practitioner Share anyway?

A Reiki Share or “Reiki Circle” is a gathering of Reiki practitioners who join for a combination social/healing session. It can last anywhere from 2-4 hours or be an all day event. It depends on who is hosting the share and how many people attend on how long the share is. The concept of a "share" is for practitioners to participate in giving and receiving Reiki in an atmosphere of friendship and love. Participating in a share is a beneficial way of honoring one another as healers.

A Reiki share usually consists of several Reiki practitioners working on one individual at a time. The person receiving the Reiki is fully clothed and laying on a massage table, and the Reiki practitioners gather around the person and provide a Reiki treatment. These sessions are performed in silence, and only Reiki is practiced during a Reiki share. Group Reiki sessions are often stronger and can be deeper than individual sessions. It is a marvelous and often profound experience!

Private sessions by appointment.
