Hey peepsies!!

I have gotten a lot of questions and interest and longing for exploration around the cultural appropriations pieces.  I am sharing with you some resources from a course I took with Marike Clymer on Decolonizing Reiki. 

She is very well informed and I recommend this course if you are wanting to know more about how to decolonize your reiki practice.

These are not required!!  Just available if you are interested…
