Learn Okuden- Reiki Level 2 in Community

Be Rooted II: Presence is the continuation of the Be Rooted journey for those who feel called to share Reiki with others while staying anchored, regulated, and embodied themselves.
This program focuses not only on Reiki techniques and symbols, but on the inner capacity required to hold space ethically and sustainably. You’ll deepen your relationship with Reiki as a living practice, learning how to offer sessions from presence rather than effort, through practice with other students and others.
Receive Okuden (Reiki II certification) with the consistent support of a tight-knit group, monthly one-on-one sessions, and immersive retreats that honor your full self.
What You’ll Learn & Experience
This program is experiential, supportive, and paced to allow real integration, leaving space for practice and ample time to ask questions as you step into sharing Reiki with others.
Review the history or Reiki as taught in Reiki 1 (Shoden) including how it started in Japan, came to the US and it has been influenced across cultures. Continue to dive into the origins of Reiki through a decolonized lens, with cultural appreciation, avoiding cultural appropriation
Reiki II (Okuden) initiation (Reiju) or attunement during the second weekend together
A deep dive into the history and mysteries of the 3 Reiki symbols- new information that is really cool and I’m excited to share (new content this year!)
Cultivating a steady, grounded healing presence
Ethical, embodied and trauma-informed ways of offering Reiki to others
Deepening intuition while staying regulated- time for a deeper dive into your psychic abilities as they open up with the practice of Reiki
Boundaries, pacing, and self‑care for practitioners
Continuation of living the Reiki principles.
