Griffin to offer Reiki workshop

DERBY - Griffin Hospital is offering residents an opportunity to learn Reiki, a body, mind, and spirit approach to medicine and healing, at a special Reiki Level 1 Workshop from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Feb. 27.

Reiki Masters Eileen Carino, RN, and Joanne Halstead, RN, will teach the basic concepts of Reiki, allowing ample time for hands-on practice.

Reiki is a complementary healing method based on ancient healing practices. It involves the conscious direction of healing energy -- through the practitioner's hands - to the patient. When channeled properly, this energy promotes healing by relieving energy blockages to the body.

The practice of Reiki is intended to bring balance to the energy fields thereby promoting healing on all levels.
The Reiki 1 Workshop teaches the basic concepts of Reiki, allowing ample time for hands-on practice. The cost is $100, including certificate and Reiki book.
Griffin Hospital employees may register at the discounted rate of $25.

Workshop space is limited, and preregistration is required by Feb. 18.
To register, contact Tricia Brister, Volunteer Services assistant, at 203-732-7555.
