Reiki Book Club

"Books are mirrors: You only see in them what you already have inside you.” Carlos Ruiz Zafón

​

THE INVITATION: The power found within the pages of a book is both intriguing and often surprising. This space is dedicated to individuals interested in exploring significant writings and teachings on Usui Reiki, to foster greater clarity, perspective, compassion, peace, and well-being for everyone. Participants will engage in weekly independent reading and take part in open group discussions. We will delve into key topics and share a warm community presence. Each week, we will cover 20 to 30 pages, depending on the chapters selected. For more information, please visit my website: https://www.moonstonesanctuary.com/reikibookclub
