Reiki Training and Shamanic Workshops in Canterbury
Reiki 1, 2 and Master Workshops
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle Japanese healing practice that works through light touch or hands held just above the body. It supports deep relaxation and helps the nervous system move into a calmer, restorative state.
Many people learn Reiki simply to support their own wellbeing and to share with family and friends. You don’t need any previous experience to begin.
Reiki is simple to learn, and the emphasis of the day is on experience rather than memorising information.
What Will My Day Look Like?
We begin each training with a gentle arrival meditation and an orientation to the day ahead.
You’ll learn from the training manuals provided and receive your Reiki attunement. Throughout the day we explore the principles of Reiki for the level being studied, whether Reiki 1, Reiki 2, or Master level, and spend time both giving and receiving Reiki.
Because the groups are intentionally kept small, there is plenty of opportunity for questions, discussion, and hands-on practice.
There will be regular breaks throughout the day, and we’ll also take a short walk in nature at lunchtime when possible.
By the end of the training you will have all the resources needed for the level you have completed. You’ll also be invited to join a WhatsApp group with your fellow students if you’d like to stay connected, ask questions, and share experiences after the training.
Most people learn Reiki for their own personal journey rather than simply to become professional practitioners.
With over 25 years of dedicated Reiki practice
With over 25 years of dedicated Reiki practice, I offer more than just training, these workshops are intimate, grounded immersions, designed not only to teach technique but to support your personal integration of Reiki.
Rooted in the original teachings of Dr. Usui and enriched by modern understanding, each workshop combines ancient principles with present-day relevance, making Reiki both powerful and practical.
Which Reiki Level is Right for Me?
Reiki 1 is for those beginning their journey, a beautiful introduction to working with energy for self-care and grounding. Learn to channel Reiki for yourself and loved ones.
Reiki 2 deepens your practice and opens the door to working with others. You’ll be introduced to sacred symbols and distance healing techniques. Become a certified practitioner.
Reiki 3 (Master Level) is for those called to embody Reiki fully, whether for self-expansion, teaching, or advanced client work. It's a powerful deepening into the spiritual path of Reiki.

Reiki attunement(s) and partner practice

Thank you so much Sarah for this wonderful day! I learnt so much and it was such a beautiful experience. The course was amazing with a great atmosphere and a chance to share our experience. We also had a lot of opportunities to practice during the course. I truly recommend Sarah for anyone who wishes to do Reiki level 1 and 2.

Reiki 1 and Reiki 2 Workshop
The Art of the Shamanic Journey
Discover the Ancient Practice of Shamanic Journeying
Step into a world beyond the ordinary and immerse yourself
Step into a world beyond the ordinary and immerse yourself in the sacred art of Shamanic Journeying. This workshop offers a powerful opportunity to connect with the spiritual realms and receive profound insights directly from Spirit.
Cross-cultural shamanism is a way of connecting with Spirit that draws on universal practices and techniques found across many different cultures worldwide. These methods are shared and timeless, allowing us to connect deeply without taking from any one culture or adopting specific practices unique to Indigenous peoples.
Our journey begins with a meaningful conversation about the core of spirituality, laying the groundwork for our exploration. You will gain a deep understanding of the principles of safe shamanic journeying, learning how to meet and communicate with your spirit guides, those protective and wise beings who will accompany you on this transformative path.
Guided by the resonant beat of the drum, you’ll follow the Shamans Map, an ancient pathway into the spirit worlds and back. Along the way, you’ll tune into the sacred recall signals, vital for safely navigating these otherworldly dimensions.
Throughout our time together, you’ll discover how to identify and connect with your Spirit Allies, benevolent forces that provide support, wisdom, and protection. Trusting in these allies will strengthen your connection to the spiritual plane and deepen your understanding of its mysteries.
This workshop is perfect for those ready to receive Spirit’s direct revelations, opening doors to profound spiritual growth and a heightened sense of awareness.

The Art of the Shamanic Journey Workshop
Bearfoot Ecstatic Dance
Ecstatic Dance DJ and Facilitator
From my early days in Ballet...
From my early days in Ballet, Tap, and Modern classes to dancing in London clubs, Ibiza, on beaches and in jungles around the world, my love for dancing has been a lifelong passion. Along the way, I've created numerous mix tapes and CDs for friends and family, so it was only a matter of time that my love for dancing and creating music sets merged into learning the art of Ecstatic Dance DJ-ing.
The name DJ Bearfoot came to me in a shamanic journey. I asked my Spirit Allies for their guidance, and they gifted me the name "Bearfoot" with Bear being one of my allies. It’s also a playful nod to the concept of dancing barefoot and moving with grounded, natural energy.
Ecstatic Dance offers a liberated space free from drugs, alcohol, chit-chat, and mobile phones, a true opportunity to dive inward and let the music move you. As an Ecstatic Dance DJ and Facilitator, I tune into the energy of the group, crafting a heart-focused set where each track is carefully chosen to evoke a profound feeling in the dancer.
The music I play is a blend of world, ambient, and house tracks, meticulously curated to inspire movement and foster connection from the very first beat. Even if the music is unfamiliar, each track is selected to deeply resonate and guide your dance journey.
What to Expect:
Shaking Medicine:
We begin with a shamanic and somatic practice known as shaking medicine. This practice allows the body to release nervous, anxious energy and stress, setting the stage for deeper immersion in the dance.
Heart of the Dance:
Following the shaking practice, we move into the heart of the dance. Here, you are free to express yourself fully and let the music guide your movements.
Relaxation:
We conclude with a period of relaxation, allowing your body and mind to integrate the experience.
Silent Disco:
Weather permitting, I often hold our sessions as a silent disco outside, enhancing the connection with nature and the environment, its a truly immersive experience. Alternatively, silent disco is an indoors friendly event with almost zero noise, just the sounds of bare feet on the floor and people humming....beautiful!
Bring Ecstatic Dance to Your Next Retreat or Event
Bearfoot Ecstatic Dance offers silent disco experiences for retreats, gatherings, and small events, whether outdoors in nature or indoors, all while maintaining a peaceful atmosphere.
With a maximum of 25 dancers, you can immerse yourself in the music and movement without disturbing your surroundings.
Join me for a transformative journey, put on your headphones, and let the music guide you.
