Reiki Training Retreat
With Lizzie & Sara
Saugerties, NY - October 22-26, 2020 - Womxn welcome
Nourish and inspire yourself.
Empower your inner healer.
Give yourself a long weekend you’ll never forget, and insightful skills that will support you for a lifetime. Whether you are a reiki veteran or brand new to the modality, you will learn the skills necessary (and then some!) to practice reiki on yourself and others during this magical weekend. You’ll create tools for your personal or professional practice, meet lifelong friends, and nourish your body and soul as we travel the energetic realms together grounded in a sacred house in the mountains by the Hudson river.
​
Our weekend will include all the instruction you need to be a confident reiki practitioner as well as nourishing activities for your soul's enrichment.
Your Instructors and Hosts
Lizzie Rose Reiss
From the beginning of her reiki career in 2010, Lizzie noticed something missing from the teachings available. While many people were teaching the mystical, mysterious, celestial experience of reiki, and many were teaching the science and the facts, few people were approaching the teaching of reiki holistically.
​
Her classes have always been oriented around thoroughly preparing you to navigate the world of reiki responsibly, with integrity and discernment while experiencing the true magic of healing that is present in everyday life. A lifetime of being “the healer” even before discovering this modality, Lizzie has found that her entire life has prepared her for this job: guiding people through the discovery and exploration of the innate healer within themselves.
After seven years in Los Angeles, Lizzie has returned to the east coast, making her home in the Hudson Valley surrounded by trees and mountains where magic comes alive.
Sara Hillner
A gifted medium, reiki master-teacher, and healing facilitator, Sara brings integrity, wonder, and curiosity to her healing practice.
When Western medicine was no longer helping Sara heal from the injuries she sustained during a car accident, a friend encouraged her to try reiki. With nothing to lose, Sara gave it a try and experienced an indescribable feeling of wholeness during her first reiki session.
Her skepticism was replaced with the wonder and curiosity that led her to study reiki, and which she brings to her practice today. Sara not only experienced physical pain relief, but also gained a massive perspective shift and was even able to love the person who hit her in the accident.
​
In her private practice, Venice Reiki, Sara uses reiki, mediumship, healing circles, crystal therapy, essential oils, good energy hygiene practices, meditation and mantras to help clients and the community discover that they have the ability to heal.

FAQ
Q: Can I participate in this training if I don’t want to be a professional reiki practitioner?
A: Absolutely! This Level 1+2 training is totally appropriate and really powerful for personal development and/or using reiki on yourself, or with family and friends.
Q: Can I participate if I’ve already been attuned and certified to level 1 (and/or level 2) reiki?
A: For sure. This happens a lot. Many people enjoy repeating reiki trainings. You learn something new every time, and it only strengthens your relationship with the energy.
Q: Can I participate if I’ve already been attuned to a different kind of reiki? Like Holy Fire or Jikiden?
A: Absolutely, yes. You’ll just gain a new perspective and more experience with reiki energy.
Q: How do I get to the retreat location from an airport or train station?
A: If you are not driving to the retreat, we will pick you up from the nearest train station or bus stop. The train station is Rhinecliff-Kingston (Amtrak); the bus stop is Kingston (Trailways). You are responsible for getting yourself to the nearest station.

About the Reiki Training:
Reiki is one of the most commonly known and used modalities of energy healing and there’s a reason for that. Anyone can learn and practice it.
The only prerequisites are a desire or curiosity to learn and an openness to see things from a new perspective.
My trainings incorporate much more than Reiki. I weave in all I know about how energy works, our intuitive powers, our connection to our the unseen realms, the spirit of healership, and so much more. I call it “Reiki Plus.”
