I studied Celtic and Native American shamanism with various teachers for a number of years in the 1990s, and some Hawaiian Huna shamanic practices about 5 years ago, and have felt very drawn to return to those shamanic roots, but to present the teachings in a more contemporary way.  From my perspective there is no need to suffer in order to grow spiritually (most shamanic traditions do include some fairly tough and sometimes painful ordeals) because we have moved on, and now realise that spiritual growth and personal development can be achieved through less traumatic, more pleasurable means! 

In 2010 I shall be leading two weekend Retreats which will combine shamanic practices with Reiki.  The May retreat is suitable for Reiki 2s (or Masters), the June Retreat is for Reiki Masters only :

Beltain Retreat in May - 6 pm Friday evening 7th to 10 am Monday morning 10th May 2010 (Only 2 places left)

Summer Solstice Retreat in June - 1 pm Saturday afternoon 19th to 3 pm Tuesday afternoon 22nd June 2010 (Only 4 places left)

The Beltain Retreat will be held at Stanton Guildhouse in the Cotswolds, and is intended for people who are already at Reiki 2 level or above. 

The Summer Solstice Retreat is an exploration of Reiki as a Shamanic Path, so it is exclusively for people who are already Reiki Masters.  It will be held at Caxton House on the Lincolnshire coast, starting with lunch on Saturday and ending after lunch on Tuesday. 

Please see the relevant pages on this website to find out more about each of the Retreats.  To receive further details of any of my Retreats, please e-mail info@reiki-quest.co.uk indicating which Retreat you are interested in, and giving your name and postal address so I can send you the relevant leaflets and booking form.
