Reiki—a practice originating from Japan and developed by Mikao Usui in the 1920s—is most often translated as universal energy, or life-force energy. It can be understood as that essential quality that makes something alive, the difference between animate and inanimate. When this vital energy is amplified, it creates the conditions for healing and nourishment to occur, and allows us to engage with the complicated questions surround life, death, and what lies beyond.

This online monthly group will provide a therapeutic application of Reiki for moving through grief and loss. Reiki provides the primary venue for somatic healing, with an experiential practice offered each session. In addition, Mikella will draw upon her 15+ years of grief counseling experience to introduce a theme for each group related to various tasks or stages of the grieving process. Ideas will be explored in group discussion, and then connected with the meditative aspects of Reiki practice to integrate the learning.

All who are coping with loss are welcome to this group— whether you have experienced the death of significant person or a pet, if it was recent or years ago, if you are coping with a more ambiguous loss (such as someone who is physically present but emotionally absent), or if you or someone you love are coping with significant illness, this group offers a space to be supported.

The themes presented will relate to the universal experiences that comprise processing loss. Participants may attend individual groups and explore a single theme, or may attend monthly and receive support on an ongoing basis. Reiki is uniquely suited to the existential nature of grieving, providing much-needed physical, emotional, and spiritual comfort when grappling with the experiences of death and dying.

The opening talk, meditation, and experiential will be recorded, however introductions and sharing will be private to those attending live.

She has specialized in trauma and grief since 2009, and developed a unique approach to psychotherapy that incorporates Reiki principles into clinical practice.
