Dear Friends, as the pandemic impacted tourism in Vietnam so heavily we have had to close Gratitude Vietnam. Gratitude Worldwide now exists as a company, and the hope is to open a retreat in Europe in the coming year or so. If you like what you see here, please join the mailing list for updates on progress towards the next chapter. Thank you for your love and support. With gratitude and love, Naomi and Hannah

USUI Reiki Ryoho 2 training and retreat
IARP accredited - Traditional USUI Reiki
(2 nights)
About the retreat and training
During this Reiki 2 training, you will deepen your awareness, knowledge and practice of reiki. Through a compassionate and insightful series of teachings and reiki symbols passed down through the lineage, you will not only gain greater insight into your own self-practice, but also learn the hand positions and practical applications for reiki on others.
Teacher and Master of Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki, Naomi, will guide you through this transformative and awakening practice. You’ll reflect on the ways in which reiki has already positively impacted your life, and how this can be enhanced. With hands-on partnered practice, you will also explore the intuitive channeling of universal energy on others, and find ways to replace ego with trust in this divine process.
As explained in Reiki 1: training and retreat, we adhere to Dr. Usui's belief that the 21-day self practice following each level of reiki training is vitally important to open and balance your chakras and energetic being, before practicing on others. As such, we do not combine Reiki 1 and Reiki 2.
A typical day will include meditation, discussion, time for self-reflection and a 'taught' element. The programme is preplanned, however it will be tailored to the group, so timings of the days may vary.
*Prerequisite:
Level 1 Reiki Certificate (to be sent on application unless completed with us).
The Workshops
The workshops are carefully designed to deepen your application of the pillars and principles of Reiki as a lived practice in daily life. Through guided personal reflection, meditation, exploring your belief systems and discussion, you will have the opportunity to find your own path, and bring about conscious decision making for transformational change.
The training elements of the Reiki 2 are intertwined with these workshops as you discover the Reiki symbols and how they resonate on a personal level.
Unlike other 1 day trainings, this retreat allows the time, space and support to continue this beautiful, deep and compassionate healing journey to self as an embodied practice. You will have the opportunity to complete a full partnered practice and Reiki session before completing the attunement and embarking on your own 21-day healing journey.
The 21-day self-practice is a vital element following each Degree of Reiki Training as you work through your own energetic blockages. Cleansing and removing your own energetic being clears the meridians to enhance your channeling of Reiki for healing others.
When you arrive, we’ll present you with a beautiful booklet to guide your journey, not only during the retreat and training, but for when you transition back into your daily life.
