Soul Speak: Connecting with Your Intuition's VoiceSoul Speak is a transformative method for learning to hear and trust the voice of your intuition as clearly as your own thoughts. Through the lens of what I call Spark Theory, this workshop explores the psychology of the mind, the energy of the soul, and the role of our conscious awareness in bridging the two. This presentation will guide us through understanding the different parts of self and learning to quiet our mental voice so that we can channel our soul's voice as clearly as our thoughts, allowing for a life guided by soul-led wisdom and supported by mind-led action, perfectly balanced and flowing between the two.

Healthcare Reiki: A Sacred, Practical Path of ServiceReiki practitioners are increasingly being called to support people during some of life’s most tender and important moments: illness, treatment, recovery, caregiving, grief, end-of-life care, and times of uncertainty. Healthcare Reiki was created to help practitioners answer that call with confidence, compassion, professionalism, and deep respect for both Reiki and conventional healthcare.
In this presentation, Pam Allen-LeBlanc and Tracey Sullivan, co-creators of Healthcare Reiki, will introduce the vision, foundations, and practical applications of this emerging system. Together, they will explore how Reiki can support patients, families, caregivers, healthcare teams, and practitioners themselves in medical, clinical, home, volunteer, and community care settings.
Participants will learn about the unique considerations involved in offering Reiki in healthcare environments, including ethics, boundaries, scope of practice, communication, practitioner resilience, and working respectfully alongside medical care. Pam and Tracey will also share how Healthcare Reiki supports the practitioner’s ability to remain grounded, clear, and compassionate while offering Reiki in situations where fear, pain, grief, hope, and healing may all be present at once. They will also experience a healing meditation which will help them step into the healthiest versions of themselves.
They will also offer a glimpse into the next stage of this work: the development of a Healthcare Reiki Master course, which they will be creating over the summer. This next level will support practitioners who feel called to deepen their service, strengthen their spiritual and practical skills, and help bring Reiki more fully into the world of healthcare.
This presentation is for Reiki practitioners who are ready to step into their own best health and feel called to serve in healthcare settings, support loved ones through illness, or bring Reiki into the world in a grounded, ethical, and deeply meaningful way.

Quantum Healing Consciousness: A Group Hypnosis ExperienceQuantum Healing Consciousness is an experiential group hypnosis event designed specifically for Reiki practitioners and energy healers who wish to explore the powerful intersection of hypnosis, focused consciousness, intention and energy healing. Reiki practitioners are naturally skilled at entering states of focused awareness, intuitive perception, and energetic presence. These same qualities are foundational to hypnosis. These offering bridges two complementary approaches to healing and opens a window into how both modalities can support the cultivation of enhanced awareness, self-compassion, mind-body balance, resilience, and holistic well-being.
The offering explores the concept of healing from a holistic perspective, inviting participants to experience themselves as integrated beings whose physical, emotional, mental, energetic, and spiritual dimensions are deeply interconnected. This immersive experience introduces participants to hypnosis as a natural state of focused awareness that can deepen their connection to inner wisdom, enhance self-healing practices, and strengthen the intentional use of energy in personal practice.
Drawing upon principles of hypnosis, Reiki, mindfulness, and consciousness-based healing, participants are guided through a deeply relaxing hypnosis journey that includes breath awareness, deep physical relaxation, Reiki-informed energy healing, self-healing awareness imagery, and expansion into a quantum field of connection and wholeness.
The change work involves accessing inner resources, releasing limiting patterns, identification of a personal healing intention, integrating disavowed or neglected aspects of self with compassion, embodying a healing future-self visualization that cultivates a greater sense of wholeness and connection, and the installation of a relaxation/healing anchor to extend the benefits well beyond the event. At the conclusion, there will be an opportunity to share experiences, insights, and ask questions about hypnosis and Reiki integration.

In this workshop we will practice sharing Reiki clearly with our words and become able to answer questions with confidence!We will start with Meditation to fill ourselves up to overflowing with Reiki, and practice building and Radiating our Light. We will then practice speaking about Reiki to various audiences and learn ways that are grounded and relatable, so we don’t get that “glazed over” eyes look! We learn to tune into the Energy of our audience and our intuition to know the best language to utilize, and how to share without ego. Using our ReikiVoices can also include humming, toning and chanting, as well as writing.

Jill Marie Kelly, Isabel Wells & Wanda Waverly

Waters of Release and Renewal CeremonySet on the shores of beautiful Lake George, this sacred ceremony invites participants to consciously release what no longer serves them and create space for healing, growth, and new possibilities. The experience begins with Isabel Wells calling in the Seven Directions from shamanic tradition, including the Four Directions, the Upper World of ascended masters, angels, and spirit guides, the Lower World of animal spirits and Earth wisdom, and the Higher Self, creating a sacred container of support, grounding, and guidance. Throughout the ceremony, Isabel will also provide rhythmic drumming, helping participants deepen their connection to the moment, the Earth, and their own inner wisdom.
Participants will gather in community through song and reflection before receiving specially curated herbs from Wanda Waverly, thoughtfully selected to honor the land, support the energy of release, and symbolize renewal and new beginnings. Drawing upon her knowledge of plant wisdom and traditional practices, Wanda’s herbal offerings will serve as sacred allies in the process of transformation.
As facilitator, Jill Kelly will open and close the ceremony with prayer, guide participants through the experience with music and intention, and lead each individual to the water’s edge for their personal release. Through sacred songs such as "I Am Light" and "Let Me Be Like Water," participants will be held in a supportive and heart-centered atmosphere as they move through the ceremony.
Participants will be invited to write down a fear, limiting belief, grief, old story, habit, or burden they are ready to surrender onto water-soluble paper. One by one, they will approach the water’s edge, placing their written release into water and offering their herbs to the lake as a symbolic act of surrender and transformation. Participants will then be invited to call in what they wish to cultivate in the space they have created—whether that be peace, courage, trust, abundance, friendship, joy, purpose, or healing.
Through the combined elements of spirit, Earth, water, music, drumming, prayer, plant wisdom, and community, this ceremony offers a powerful opportunity to honor personal transformation while celebrating the connections, healing, and sense of belonging that emerge during the Northeast Reiki Retreat.

Renee Eddy

Who's Driving Your Spiritual Journey?Cultivating Discernment, Boundaries, and Personal AgencySpiritual practices can be a profound source of healing. They can foster connection, meaning, and personal growth.

This presentation bridges clinical understanding with spiritual practice, exploring how emotional health and spiritual development support one another.
Together, we'll explore how to:• distinguish intuition from fear and trauma responses, • recognize when personal authority is being surrendered to a teacher, community, or belief system, • establish emotional boundaries that protect personal agency while remaining open to authentic spiritual growth.
This session invites participants to deepen both their spiritual practice and their relationship with themselves through greater discernment, stronger emotional boundaries, and the confidence to trust their own inner wisdom.
