Community Reiki Circle
Sep 13, 2025
World Yoga Center w/ Jodi
Offered In-Person only

Reiki is the healing aspect of the supreme energy at the root of our
very being, the potent beneficial force that flows through us all.
Connecting to this energy through Reiki, as a practitioner and as are
receiver, is a powerful tool for our own and others' healing.

Our Reiki Circle welcomes non-Reiki practitioners for the first hour.
We will all be together for our opening meditation, and all will be
able to offer names into the circle for healing. During this time,
everyone will receive Reiki from Reiki practitioners. We will conclude
with journaling and sharing.

The practice portion of our circle, 2-3:15, will be just for Reiki
practitioners so that we may continue to practice our Reiki skills in
community for the highest good of others.

A Student's writing about the World Yoga Center Teacher Training:

"This training was a breakthrough… What I was given to study was immense compared to the previous groundwork I had as a student of yoga and meditation. By studying scriptures I had only previously glanced at, I grew deeply in awareness and knowledge. I put my heart into the work of this training— I have never put that much effort into anything like I put into this…The training gave me direction in my life. It brought clarity to the awareness of who I am and what I am going to do. Best is the way I now feel. Love has expanded within me, love I had not known before… I was given the gift of accomplishment. This training brought me a passion to know the Self and to share my awareness with others."

In case you missed Rudrani's beautiful message:

There’s only one way to manage our own human frailty, disappointments and conflicts, and that is to see the Conscious energy dwelling at the very root of our being. The sages of Yoga call this Supreme Consciousness. It lives within us at the core of all highs and lows. To inquire into our conscious source takes us beyond the personal dimension, bringing us into the boundless realm where stillness and peace dwell in the midst of life.

A deep appreciation and recognition of this core energy is a skill meant to dissolve the mind’s cloud-bank of obscuration. It is why we practice within ourselves and practice together.

As our country suffers the seeming increase in polarization, may we practice together for the sake of higher mind. The highest part of our mind does not perceive duality as a reality. It perceives unity and non-dual presence not only within the cosmos, but within all human beings.

Despite the great variety in our outlooks, despite the scourge of hatred and despite major differences in cultural imprinting, may we soothe the polarized mind including the one we carry within.

And

May we keep the world-wide human family out of real and dangerous conflict... it’s up to everyone.

Let's take the reduced busyness of the Summer season as an opportunity to develop this. May we see our own inner Consciousness beneath the evanescence of life's highs and lows… it is the heart of Yoga.

With love and blessings,
Rudrani

Two Spaces Remain - Early Bird Pricing Ends July 15th!

After a full year, we are excited to announce the return of our beloved summer retreat—an immersion into deep practice, nature, and community. We will be gathering once again at a place of extraordinary natural beauty, now familiar and cherished by many of us: Beecher Lake and the Dai Bosatsu Zendo in the Catskill Mountains.

For two decades, our extended World Yoga Center community has returned to this sacred sanctuary, bringing with us our friends, family, and close associates. Nestled in 400 acres of untouched forest and resting beside a crystal-clear, spring-fed mountain lake, this place of refuge offers a profound stillness that mirrors the home within us: our peaceful, authentic core.
