The Association’s Board of Directors for the period February 2012 to January 2013 will be elected at the meeting.  The seven posts to be filled are noted on the Agenda.  Only members of the Association in good financial standing may vote.  If you are trained and initiated in the Reiki method of healing, this would be a great opportunity for you to become a member of the Association.  The Treasurer will be available before the start of the meeting to accept the annual membership fee of BDS$50.00.

If you have not been practising Reiki, you will find that our monthly meetings will offer you an excellent opportunity to reconnect to the method and be part of our Reiki family.  We share group Reiki healing at each meeting.  In fact, in 2011, we restructured our meetings to give this session more prominence, by starting with group healing and extending the length of the session.  We also included “Reiki only” evenings, some of which were open to family and friends. We also offer Reiki education and host an Annual Retreat for Reiki initiates in October.  We participate in health and wellness fairs throughout the year to spread knowledge and understanding of Reiki and host a Complementary Health Fair annually in June.  We also produce a quarterly e-newsletter, Healing Hands.

We encourage you to come out to the AGM, join the Association and grow your understanding and practice of Reiki in 2011.

Kind regards

Sonia Johnson
Secretary
