Reiki Three Pathway

The Reiki Three Pathway is made up of five component parts, however if you have studied Reiki One and Reiki Two with Acorn to Oak you will not need to complete the Best Practice Course as you will have covered this content during the Reiki Two Training. The other four components guide you through skills and techniques that you will find invaluable as you move towards completing Reiki Mastership. Each is designed as a discrete course with its own documentation and post-course workbook, which is given to help re-enforce the learning that took place. All component parts must be completed prior to applying to undertake Reiki Mastership training with Acorn to Oak.

• Best Practice
• Psychic Development
• Spiritual Development
• Advanced Healing Techniques
• Practitioner Development
  

Reiki Mastership Training

Reiki Mastership Training with Acorn to Oak consists of two parts: Advanced Energy Techniques and Reiki Master/Teacher. Each part are unique trainings of very high standard which will prepare you for the responsibility of this new way of Being. This training should not be taken lightly and therefore you will need to apply and be interviewed before being accepted onto this course. Once you have successfully completed this course, and the post-grad experience, you are entitled to apply for a teaching position with Acorn to Oak and enjoy the benefits of being on the teaching team.

• Advanced Energy Techniques
• Reiki Master/Teacher

Acorn to Oak Education is a professional, heart centred organisation that runs an integrated Reiki College. The Reiki Courses have been recognised for Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

Reiki One and Reiki Two are regularly run as weekend courses throughout the year. Some members of Acorn to Oak Reiki Teaching Team also run evening or day courses designed for candidates unable to get away for weekends.

Acorn to Oak Education also believes that it is important to provide a team of facilitators and therefore there are always 2 Reiki Masters, if not more, on each course to ensure the excellent standard of facilitation that we require as a basic standard.

A2O have found that the residential courses are immensely popular and truly life changing. They give the participants a chance to leave behind the distractions of every day life and concentrate on the process of Reiki.

The cost of the course includes tuition, folder, supporting documentation, attendance certificate, as well as drinks and chocolate biscuits at breaks. It also entitles you to join the A2O mailing list which will keep you up to date with all other Training Courses , talks, shows and special events that other Acorn to Oak Departments are running.  We will also let you know the news about the Out-Reach work in which Acorn to Oak Foundation is involved. The cost does not include any accommodation, meals or travel.

ou are allocated a Mentor during, or any time after, your Reiki One experience. Mentors are available to give you guidance and support with reference to your Reiki practice and experiences. If they feel they are unable to answer any questions you may be referred to one of the Teaching Team at Acorn to Oak.

The organisation as a whole encourages students to take up the role of being a mentor as early as completing Reiki Two. This is in order for you to gain experience and supervision as a mentor to help your growth in Reiki. However, no one will be allocated as a mentor without prior knowledge and consent. All mentors will have a supervising mentor of their own. If for any reason they are not available you can contact Anna Williamson in Administration, who will inform you which member of the Teaching Team is 'on-call'.

Mentors are usually available during the early evening to take calls, however if you need to call your mentor please make sure it is a convenient and appropriate time for them to answer your questions. You are entitled to two hours of free mentorship after each course that you complete with Acorn to Oak. However if you feel that you need more you can book at mentorship session which will be charged at a rate of £25 per 30 minutes.
