Alternatives with Joanna Reiki Level 1 Course
January 18th, 2024 • 10.00 - 19.00 • Berlin, Germany
The traditional Usui Reiki system is a fantastic tool for anyone interested in increasing their well-being and starting a meditation practice.
Reiki Level One is a simple and beautiful initiation into this caring art of self-guidance.
Reiki (or Usui Reiki Ryoho) is a practice that fosters profound internal stability, peace, and stillness. Originating from Japan, it has been passed down through generations and has been practiced for the last 100 years. It is used to reduce stress, promote relaxation and self-healing, and restore the health of our body, mind, and spirit. It is based on meditation, mindfulness, present touch, and compassion. You can read more about Reiki here.
In this course, you will learn the traditional art of "energy healing" that has been practiced for centuries. We will cover the fundamentals of Reiki, including its history, its principles, and techniques.
Joanna will also share her knowledge of the human body and nervous system, as well as different traditional and modern practices to ground oneself through meditation and breathwork.
The goal of the Level 1 Course is to develop a personal Reiki meditation practice to find more balance and awareness each day.

What is a Reiki attunement?
Attunements are a part of the Usui Reiki system, but they can be confusing to understand as they are presented in many different ways. A Reiki teacher cannot "open," "upgrade," or do anything to you or your energy. Reiki is the universal energy that is already present in all of us. The attunement is simply a beautiful connection ritual, fostering stillness, neutrality, and oneness between teacher and student. It brings you closer to the practice of Reiki by helping you witness peace within yourself. And it can indeed be a unique moment to experience :)

a Level One “attunement”

Meet your Reiki teacher
Hi, my name is Joanna
I originally come from France, but fell in love with Berlin during my studies and moved there in 2016, after getting my Masters in Marketing. I started working in a beauty start-up and had a bright career in front of me. After a few years, I felt out of touch with my work and life purpose. As it progressively deepened — with stress and responsibilities piling up — it started impacting my well-being. I was feeling so disconnected and burned out that I took the hard but unavoidable decision to quit my job.
The following year was as hard physically and emotionally as it was beautiful in growth and (re)constructions. With a lot of inner work and the help of an amazing coach, I started to see things more clearly. A passion for alternative medicine had been present in my life since my teenage years, and letting go of fears and blockages helped me understand that supporting people with their health - physical, emotional, and spiritual - was my path.
During this transformational journey, I found incredible support in conscious breathing, meditation, slow movement, and Reiki. These practices deeply changed the way I go about my day and life in general. Allowing me to be more present, reconnect with myself, and trust the healing power of my own body and mind.
