ICRT Animal Reiki 1 & 2 Training Workshop

~ Upon completion of this 2 day training workshop, you will be certified as an ICRT Animal Reiki 1 & 2 practitioner and able to provide treatments to all species of animals in person or by distance.

​

Our Reiki Training Workshops are available either In-Person or Online.

​

*Note: This training has prerequisites.  Please see below for details.

​

About this Training:

The ICRT Animal Reiki energy received in this workshop is a powerful new energy all its own.  It was developed by the Holy Fire® III Reiki energy and is Reiki energy specifically for animals.  It's a different energy than human Reiki. The energy is healing for human caregivers, as well as the animals.  Visit our Animal Reiki page for more info on the benefits of Animal Reiki.

​

This training is open to all Reiki lineages & belief systems with animal relationship.  The placement given during the workshop will attune and unify the Animal Reiki energy with your existing Reiki energy and symbols.

 

This Animal Reiki training is thorough and comprehensive.  It includes the Animal Reiki Placement which attunes the practitioner to the Animal Reiki symbol and gives them the ability to channel the Animal Reiki energy. This training also includes practitioner skills, tools, and techniques. 

​

In this workshop you will:​

  • Receive Animal Reiki Placements 1 & 2

  • Receive the Animal Reiki symbol

  • Learn the 3 priorities of Animal Reiki

  • Be qualified to give in--person and distance Animal Reiki sessions

  • Learn how to give Reiki to many different species of animals

  • Learn session techniques, both in-person and distance

  • Get experience working with animals in real-time on Zoom

  • Learn basics on shelter and volunteer work, and creating your own Animal Reiki business

​​

This workshop includes ICRT Animal Reiki 1 & 2 attunements, certificate of completion, and a manual, "ICRT Animal Reiki Training I & II Manual" by Colleen Benelli, Sioux Strong, Robyn Benelli, and Pamela Allen-LeBlanc.

 

The class is a combination of lecture, discussion, demonstration, and practice time. Each student experiences giving Reiki to an animal in person (if an animal is available at their location) and by distance (students will practice on each others animals) using human Reiki 1 & 2 symbols and techniques such as Byosen scanning, Koki-ho (sending Reiki with breath), and Gyoshi-ho (sending Reiki with the eyes). Practice time is given using the Animal Reiki symbol. 

​

It's not necessary to have an animal companion with you to complete this workshop.

    • Please see the Zoom website for instructions on set up if you are new to using Zoom.​
