			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reiki Circles on now <strong>every 1st Wednesday from 6:30-8:30 pm</strong>.<br />
This May 4th there will also be a morning Reiki Circle 10:00-Noon to celebrate the first year of the Gold Country Reiki Association.</p>
<p>Circles are open to ANYONE with the desire to experience Reiki. Everyone will have the opportunity to be attuned in an “open” attunement, which will allow you to feel what it is like to both give and receive Reiki. While this is NOT a certified class, it’s a great way for people new to Reiki to experience it for themselves and get more information about the practice.<br />
Next everyone stands in a circle, and one by one, each individual sits briefly in the center while everyone else sends Reiki. For a longer session, we set up the massage tables. Each person will have the opportunity to receive while practitioners lay healing hands on them. We end with a closing circle.</p>
<p>Reiki Circles are supported by your gratitude donations. Suggested donation amount is $10 per person, however no one will be turned away.</p>
<p>May Location: Dragonfly Studio, 17328 Penn Valley Dr. Suites E Penn Valley, California.</p>
<p>It is helpful to RSVP at Meetup.com Gold Country Reiki Association where you will be sent email reminders for events.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The public is invited to this evening Reiki Circle on Wednesday, September 22, 2010, 7:00 &#8211; 9:00 pm at the Penn Valley Yoga Dragonfly Studio, 17328 Penn Valley Dr. Suite E, Penn Valley, CA.<br />
Suggested Donation is $10.00.</p>
<p>Reiki, one of the more widely known forms of energy healing, is a process of laying on of hands that sends Ki or life force into the body working with the whole being, balancing the emotional and mental bodies, and promoting relaxation and the body’s natural ability to&#8230; heal.<br />
We start out with introductions and news. Participants stand in a circle, and one by one, each individual sits briefly in the center while everyone else sends Reiki. Next, we set up the massage tables. Each person will have the opportunity to receive while practitioners lay healing hands on them. We end with a closing circle.</p>
