October, Saturday 17th & 18th, 2026. Saturday ~ 10 AM-9 PM & Sunday ~ 10 AM-5 PM (LAKSHMI STUDIO, 310 Bridge St. New Cumberland, PARK AND ENTER IN THE BACK)
“The natural healing force within each of us is the greatest force in getting well.”
— Hippocrates
Reiki is the foundation. Transformation is the invitation.
This is a traditional Usui Reiki Level I Training and certification ~ and it is also much more than a traditional Reiki class.
Jaque Hanson has been immersed in Reiki, shamanic practices, energy work, spiritual development, ceremony, and the esoteric arts since 2002. Over more than two decades, these teachings have become deeply integrated into the way she approaches healing: not simply as something we do, but as a relationship we cultivate with ourselves, our energy, our intuition, and the life we are here to live.
Shamanic Usui Reiki Level I was born from that integration.
This immersive training combines the foundational teachings and practices of Usui Reiki Level I with shamanic healing, chakra exploration, meditation, breathwork, crystals, sound and toning, yogic wisdom, aromatherapy, energetic boundaries, self-care practices, ceremony, and plenty of experiential learning.
It is designed for the person who doesn't simply want to receive a certificate.
It is for the person who wants to experience the work.
🐝 More Than Learning Reiki
Many people arrive at Reiki because something inside them is already stirring.
Perhaps you are highly sensitive to people and environments. Perhaps you have spent years caring for everyone else while putting yourself somewhere near the bottom of the list. Perhaps you are beginning to recognize intuitive abilities you don't quite understand. Or perhaps you simply know that your relationship with yourself is ready to deepen.
This weekend creates space to explore all of that.
We will look compassionately at patterns of overgiving, depletion, energetic entanglement, inherited beliefs, and the ways we may unconsciously abandon ourselves while caring for others.
The intention is not to convince you that something is wrong with you.
Quite the opposite.
It is to help you remember the intelligence, capacity, intuition, and healing resources that may already exist within you ~ and to give you practical ways to develop a relationship with them.
For some participants, the weekend becomes a meaningful threshold: a moment of choosing themselves differently.
You may have been waiting for this work longer than you realize.
🩵 What Is Reiki Level I?
Reiki is a Japanese energy-healing practice traditionally associated with Mikao Usui. In Level I, students are introduced to Reiki energy and learn foundational practices for working with Reiki for themselves and others.
A central part of traditional Reiki training is the Reiki Attunement ~ an initiation performed by the Reiki Master Teacher.
During this training, each new Level I student will receive the Reiki Level I attunement and learn practices for allowing Reiki to flow through the hands.
You will learn how to offer Reiki to:
Yourself • Other People • Family • Friends • Animals
One of the most important aspects of Level I is learning that your own well-being matters.
Before Reiki becomes something you offer outwardly, it can become a practice of returning inward.
You will learn a complete self-Reiki practice that you can continue using long after the training ends to support relaxation, grounding, energetic awareness, self-reflection, and your personal spiritual practice.
🦋 The Shamanic Dimension
This is where my training intentionally moves beyond the structure of a conventional Reiki Level I weekend.
You will participate in a deep transformational shamanic healing circle designed to support release, reflection, reconnection, and greater awareness of the parts of yourself that may be ready to emerge.
Shamanic practice has been an integral part of my own spiritual path for more than two decades. I approach this work with reverence, discernment, responsibility, and deep respect for the individual.
We are not trying to force a breakthrough.
We create the conditions in which something authentic may reveal itself.
Sometimes that is emotion.
Sometimes insight.
Sometimes grief.
Sometimes joy.
Sometimes a boundary.
Sometimes the simple realization:
“I am allowed to matter in my own life.”
🌈 A Deep Experiential Journey Through the Seven Chakras
Rather than simply memorizing the location and color of each chakra, we will explore the chakra system as a practical framework for understanding ourselves.
You will learn about the seven primary chakras and explore qualities associated with balanced expression, excess, depletion, and energetic distortion.
And then we take that knowledge into experience.
Depending upon the chakra, our exploration may incorporate:
Color meditation • Crystals • Aromatherapy • Breathwork/Pranayama • Yoga postures • Chanting • Toning • Visualization • Reiki • Reflection and discussion
You will have opportunities to feel, practice, ask questions, experiment, and discover what genuinely resonates with you.
🌿 Reiki as Radical Self-Care
If you are accustomed to caring for everyone else, this portion of the training may be one of the most important.
We will explore Reiki as an accessible self-care practice—not another obligation to add to your list.
You will learn how to work with Reiki when you feel depleted, emotionally overwhelmed, overstimulated, disconnected, or simply in need of quiet.
We will practice slowing down enough to notice:
What am I feeling?
What do I need?
What belongs to me—and what doesn't?
Where am I leaking energy through old patterns?
What would choosing myself look like here?
Self-care becomes much more meaningful when it moves beyond occasional indulgence and becomes a relationship with your own body, energy, boundaries, and inner wisdom.
🔥 Energetic Sovereignty & Boundaries
Sensitive and empathic people often believe they need to protect themselves from everyone else's energy.
I want to take that conversation deeper.
You will learn practical ways to understand your energetic field, recognize when you may be absorbing or carrying what isn't yours, strengthen energetic boundaries, ground yourself, and return to your own center.
The goal is not fear.
The goal is sovereignty.
You do not need to walk through life afraid of other people's energy. You can learn how to remain compassionate and openhearted without becoming energetically responsible for everyone around you.

✨ Your Reiki Level I Initiation
For students attending Level I for the first time, the weekend includes your formal Reiki Level I Attunement.
The attunement is treated as an initiation and sacred threshold within the training ~ a time to become quiet, receptive, and intentional about your relationship with Reiki.
Following your attunement, you will begin practicing Reiki during the weekend so that you leave with lived experience rather than simply theoretical knowledge.
Upon successful completion of the training, new Level I students will also receive a beautiful Shamanic Usui Reiki Level I certificate featuring original artwork created especially for the Hive.
🐝 Already Reiki Level I? Come Back and Go Deeper.
If you have previously completed Reiki Level I ~ with me or with another qualified Reiki teacher ~ you are welcome to attend the weekend as a returning practitioner.
This is an opportunity to refresh your Reiki knowledge, practice again in community, ask questions, learn the chakra teachings, participate in the shamanic and experiential portions of the retreat, and reconnect with a practice you may not have used in years.
You will participate in the many additional teachings, practices, discussions, and experiential activities offered throughout the weekend to add to your tool bag, or medicine bag.
🐝 And the Journey Doesn't Have to End Here
One of the things I treasure most about teaching Reiki is watching people realize that they have found community as well as practice.
Graduates of the Hive's Shamanic Usui Reiki trainings become part of a larger community of practitioners that includes graduates of Shamanic Reiki, New Paradigm/Shamballa teachings, and initiates and graduates of the Beehive Mystery School.
There are opportunities to continue practicing, learning, connecting, and serving.
Our community also gathers for Seva ~ selfless service ~ including our monthly free Reiki and Advanced Energy Work offering for the community.
Your Reiki training can therefore become more than something you completed once.
It can become something you practice, embody, share, and continue growing into.
🎒 What to Bring
Please bring a notebook and pen, a water bottle, and a bagged lunch. You may also purchase lunch locally in New Cumberland.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and dress in layers so that you can comfortably participate in meditation, movement, floor practices, healing work, and ceremony.
Most importantly, bring your curiosity.
You do not need to arrive already knowing how to meditate, understand energy, work with chakras, or consider yourself intuitive.
You are coming to learn.
And you may leave remembering considerably more about yourself than you expected.
