Members are advised of seminars and other relevant events via the “In Touch” email news service, the Reiki Australia member journal “The Journey”, and postings to the Latest News area on this site.

I do not intend to treat the public. How can Reiki Australia membership benefit me?

Reiki Australia’s first and foremost dedication has always been to preserve Reiki as a spiritual practice and healing art and to nurture community. To belong to a professional organisation like Reiki Australia provides you with a connection to the Reiki community and keeps you up to date with Reiki news nationally and internationally. Our member journal provides current developments, information and personal Reiki stories as well as keeping members connected. Important issues and updates are forwarded to you through the Reiki Australia “In Touch!” email service.

If Reiki has touched your heart then we encourage you to establish an affiliation with us. Reiki Shares are a wonderful way to carry on the tradition of Reiki as a personal practice as well as keeping the connection alive. We encourage you to participate in a local Reiki Share hosted on behalf of Reiki Australia. You may even like to consider being a local Reiki Share co-ordinator.

Can I get involved in Reiki Australia as a project team member even though I live a long way from head office in Brisbane/Sunshine Coast?

Most certainly! In today’s technological world, distance will not stop you from being actively involved in a project. We have volunteer project teams in almost every state.

Some activities project teams work on are:

• Organising local Reiki Share Days
• Planning conferences
• Developing Reiki Australia’s technical resources
• Fundraising and sponsorship
• Advertising
• Connecting with popular media
• Assisting with research

Reiki Australia has a well-developed Induction Process in place. The induction process welcomes you to the team while giving you everything you need to be informed and ready to be a fully active team member. Knowledge and understanding of the protocols and guidelines for Reiki Australia project team members helps them to work together very effectively. This, in turn, serves the team members and Reiki Australia to continue growing with integrity towards Reiki Australia’s core values and purpose.

Reiki Australia boasts a very high percentage of members who are actively involved; we invite you to join in!
