Reiki master teacher Regina Woods DeCarlo, owner of The Flow Specialist, invites participants to explore the healing power of reiki through a three-week Reiki 1 experience beginning May 17 and 18, 2025, at MK Dance On Hudson, in Hastings-on-Hudson.

This program includes a two-day immersion class followed by 21 days of email support and a two-hour follow-up session, either in person or via Zoom. The initial class takes place May 17, 2025, from 1:30 to 7:30 p.m., and May 18, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“The focus of Reiki 1 is self-healing—learning to cultivate energy within yourself,” says Woods DeCarlo. “So often people take a quick class and are left to process emotions on their own. This three-week journey provides space for integration and support.”

Students will be attuned and certified in the first level of reiki, learn the principles and practices of reiki, and both give and receive hands-on treatments. Woods DeCarlo says the ripple effect of reiki begins with self-love and radiates outward, promoting greater peace and vitality in daily life. Her hope is that participants “truly feel the effects of reiki and notice the subtle shifts that support healing and balance in a chaotic world.”
