  • This class is the next step after Reiki Master and is both a Practitioner and a Master class. You will be able to teach this class online or in person. Those who take the class will be able to use the Karuna symbols in their Reiki sessions and teach the complete Holy Fire® III World Peace Karuna Reiki® Training. You will also be able to teach Reiki I&II and Reiki Master as Holy Fire® III World Peace classes online or in person (however, it is easier to teach them if you have previously taken all the classes from an ICRT teacher prior to teaching them). It is complete with eight practitioner symbols, one master symbol, four ignitions and two meditations that are guided directly by the Holy Fire® energy.
    (Prerequisite: Must have been a Reiki master for at least 6 months and be able to draw the Reiki II and master symbols from memory.)__________________________________________William Lee Rand is the founder and president of The International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT), The Center for Reiki Research and The Reiki Membership Association.

Jill Marie Kelly 
Psychic Medium and Reiki Master Teacher
  • Many REIKI practitioners consider themselves empaths and highly sensitive people. Some practitioners may even consider themselves psychic. But a common problem among empaths and HSP's is the lack of protection energetically and knowledge surrounding it. They know that REIKI is inexhaustible and should not drain the practitioner but a lot of times the practitioner feels depleted after a day of appointments. In this class, I will address some of the common problems, such as attracting energy vampires and having relationships with people that drain your energy. I will discuss ways to cleanse your energy as well as ways to protect your energy so you don't go into your practice like a live wire. Grounding energy is important for your clients but also important for you as well. All too often I’ve heard of reiki practitioners burning out because they don’t fill their energetic cup. As caring individuals, it’s difficult to not get attached or use some of your own energy while healing, especially to loved ones. I will present ways to help you be the best practitioner you can by giving you psychic street smarts to guide you through your sessions. This class will be a lecture style but have a few interactive components so the guests feel empowered and able to navigate their energy and most importantly protect it.__________________________________________Jill Marie Kelly is a Psychic Medium and Reiki Master Teacher.

Jerry Mikutis
Usui Holy Fire® Reiki and Holy Fire® Karuna Reiki Teacher
  • Step into a radiant exploration of color as a gateway to your inner knowing. In this immersive workshop, we will journey into the subtle realms of color, energy, and intuition through guided Reiki-infused meditations, creative expression, and psychic development exercises.
    Learn how to tune into the vibrational language of color during Reiki sessions—for yourself and others—and discover how colors can reveal energetic imprints, emotional patterns, and intuitive messages. This workshop weaves together mysticism and energy healing to awaken your innate psychic senses and deepen your spiritual practice.
    No art or psychic experience necessary—just an open heart and a curious spirit.

  • Let nature become your canvas and muse.
    In this indoor and outdoor workshop, we’ll gather in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains for a guided, intuitive art journey. Using gel pens and watercolors, you’ll learn simple techniques to sketch and paint from a place of presence—allowing the land to speak through color, form, and line.
    We’ll begin with a grounding meditation and Reiki-infused connection to the land. Then, we’ll explore basic art and color theory techniques and then dive into mindful sketching as a meditative practice—observing trees, stones, leaves, light, and water as energetic companions.

    No experience is needed—this is about presence, not perfection. Whether you’re brand new to drawing or a lifelong artist, this is a space to reconnect with your creative spirit, honor the beauty around you, and leave with art made in collaboration with nature.
    All materials provided. Please dress for the outdoors and bring your own collection of paper, watercolors, gel pens and other art supplies if you already have them.

Isabel Wells
Shamanic Reiki Practitioner, Reiki Teacher, and Spiritual Coach
  • This two-day pre-retreat immersion is a journey to reclaim your power, restore wholeness, and reawaken the innate wisdom of your body, mind, and spirit. Using a rich blend of neuroscience, somatics, polyvagal theory, Reiki, and shamanic practices, this workshop guides you from understanding your inner landscapes to fully embodying and integrating every level of your being.

    Together, we’ll explore the mechanisms of soul loss and self-fragmentation that modern life thrives on, and practice methods to reclaim your power and restore wholeness. Along the way, we’ll examine the nervous system’s powerful role in bridging the physical and spiritual, drawing on both the latest research and ancient wisdom to regulate and harmonize your energy field.

    This isn’t just about adding new techniques to your spiritual toolkit — it’s about awakening to the transformative power of self-reclamation and healing rooted in science, spirit, and the sacred.

    In this class, we will cover:

    ~ How the nervous system and energy field form the blueprint of your life experience
    ~ The neuroscience of shamanism and Reiki
    ~ Chakras as a lens for understanding layers of the self and pathways for soul retrieval
    ~ Somatic and movement practices to regulate energy and prepare your body for spiritual work
    ~ Techniques to bridge the human and spiritual realms in your Reiki practice
    ~ Daily practices for self-unification, grounding, and energetic alignment
    ~ Signs, symptoms, and stories of soul fragmentation, and how we give away our power
    ~ Guided shamanic journeys to retrieve lost or exiled parts of yourself and fully integrate them

    You'll walk away feeling more present, balanced, connected, and aligned than ever before, with a powerful understanding of your multidimensional nature and how to craft a daily routine that weaves together all layers of your being.
